Rod holder for Cannon Swivel base

[njg0621]

So I bought a boat with 4 electric Cannon Mag 10's on it.  I will never use all 4 at the same time and I do a lot of fishing that a regular rod holder would work better for me.  I was thinking I could rig something up that would attach right to the existing cannon swivel base and attach a triple rod holder to it....My question is has anyone ever done this before? Do they sell anything that will mount right on the base? Thanks!

You could have a machine shop make a plate that screws into the swivel base

I did something like that  this spring with my Scotty's. Made plates to go between the swivel base and the riggers out of 3/8" thick aluminum. I cut the curvy shapes  with a jig saw.... it takes a while, but I got exactly what i wanted, and mounted a Trax-Tech single rod holder on them.  I made templates out of some heavy cardboard first to get the shapes right. .

Cisco makes a plate for Cannon's that might allow you to mount a rod holder.

You can buy cannon dual axis rod holders that mount below your riggers giving additional rod holders on each side of rigger and can put them in any position you want. Cost about 250.00 each.
