rod holder rubber inserts/liners - need replacement

[boslaw]

the liners are apparently 2 piece, and the top pieces are falling out on mine. The glue has deteriorated. I'm in a 1997 208 for what it's worth.

Anyone know where I can find replacements or do I have to buy whole new rod holders?

Contact the company that made the rod holders...probably Lee's...shouldn't be a problem to get new ones

 

[boslaw]

thanks. How do I know who made them? I think they only have the Grady logo on them.

contacted grady - apparently they're made by Perko, part # 6785

I don't know where you are , but Freeport Marine in Freeport , NY, sells them, white vinyl liners. Ask for Mike.

There are two sizes in diameters, I believe the Gradys have the smaller ones, as I bought them many years ago.

Clean the inner side of the rod holder, scuff up the outer side of the new liner with sand paper, and use a sealant like Lifeseal, and it won't pull out.

thanks. I contacted Perk, and they say the correct part number is: 0482DP1BLK

Apparently the Grady part number was their special order part number.

A google search on the 0482 part number yielded many results.

I guess I should have started by calling Grady in the first place, but everyone on this board is so helpful and quick to respond, I always try here first

The liners on my 1992 LEEs were single piece white vinyl tube cut at an angle on one end.

I found replacements for mine at Boat Owner's Warehouse 9BOW) in Ft Lauderdale.
