I have a 2000 Gulfstream and finally found a set of used Grady Rod Racks for my cabin which I was grateful to find from a fellow Grady enthusiast in Florida.
My problem is installing. I need some advise on how to attach to the cabin side wall
Brackets? Measurements? Pictures? Anyone that can share info and their expertise would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Going back to my 2002 Sailfish which may be foggy...
I believe long SS bolts (with ribbed washers against the outer gelcoat ran from the outside of the cabin through the mounting block (through the long end) and were finished inside with cap nuts. The Rod holders were hinged so they could push back toward the inside side wall or out to hold the rods. You'll have to come up with something strong - heavy rods and banging from the waves...

These are factory installed rod racks - 268 Islander. Thru bolted with stainless screws from the outside. Finished as FISHTALES describes.
