I was a little worried about cutting a hole in the hull of the kayak in order to mount the Fishing Rod Holder. Something about putting a 2" diameter hole in a new boat.
After looking at the rod holder it also dawned on me that although it was a cylinder it would be mounted at an angle. Thus the hole needed to be an ellipse rather than a plain circle. A little work on my CAD computer program, however, quickly solved the problem and produced an accurate cutting template. I'll add the template to the website (https://sites.google.com/site/herbskayak/).
Since I have a fly rod as well as a spin casting rod, I've decided to put only one flush rod holder on the kayak. I may add a fly rod holder to the other side later (fly rods use a different type of holder.)
