Followup Report
I went fishing today with this device installed. It worked great. The only minor annoyance is that the unit intruded into my knee space a bit as I was peddling. It is also in the way somewhat when paddling.
Because I have the trolling bar attached to my kayak, I did not need to use this rod holder for that purpose. The configuration that I used today stored the rod in a near verticle position which would not be good for trolling. It worked exactly the way I wanted when I needed to temporarally store my jig rod to check the rod that was trolling live bait.
By changing the angle of the ell to 60 degrees, this device would hold the rod in a good trolling position. The next one I build will have interchangable ells to allow for this adjustment.
Until next time.
