I want to install some Berts plates that would let me mount rod holders or rod trees ahead of the two top opening side compartments. ON the passenger side the compartment is closed off with rod holder tubes. Anyone know an easy way to get ahead of the rod tubes so I can put a backing plate unter the Bert plate? link the plate:

Do you have a stereo speaker you can take off and reach through the hole, or an access port on that side? You can always cut in an access port and put a plate on it. I have to do that to mount my downrigger mounts as there is no other way to get to the underside of the gunnel.
If you can live with just needing rod holder, the Alumatrak systems does that for you already with no installation needed and is on most Alumacraft boats standard. Not sure if that helps
Are the rod tubes removable?
My boat is old enough it doesn’t have alumatrack.
Talked to the Alumacraft factory. Rod tubes can be removed will take out the front speaker and push the top 3 back and then see what I have to work with for room.
If I have to I can cut an access hole but if I can work within the speaker hole I may go that route. This might be one of the times my long arms pay off.
