Thank you Jeff for your most excellent Videos.

I saw both of your videos, looks like you started the design to break apart one way and then changed it up to break apart a different way. I liked the way you initially were going to do it, so I copied your design and then made modifications to allow the break down the way you initially were going to do it.

I do not like gluing.  Gluing is permanent, and I like to have the ability to modify in the future. I instead use aluminum Pop rivets to hold the fittings together.  If I need to make future mods I just drill our the rivet and that joint comes apart.

I most likely am going to have to come up with something once I get a trolling motor. Perhaps find a way to attach this to the bars running off the motor mount.

Here are the photos on the rod holders I came up with.

It is looking good.
I can say I have learned todo a trial run with out gluing everything. The PVC seems to hold pretty well with a press fit for a few trips.

Good luck on this journey

Your DIY rod rack project is coming along nicely Sir!
A very clean assembly and I like the paint color as well. It's easy on the eyes.

Or you could say you bought the Maxxon to match your paint!
