Any Hobie Guys using these? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I did see someone take the rubber band and move it lower to create a more snug fit.. Not sure if this was the same product..

I find it funny that a factory rod holder needs an adapter to fit another rod holder

RAM made this to fit the majority of flushmounts on multiple brand kayaks. I think they would be smart to market one specifically for Hobie Kayaks, specifically the front rod holders on the Outback. Hobie molded in rod holders have always been the exception in greater diameter. It looks like the o ring can be moved to the other shallower groove to fit Hobie............stand by.

Not as snug as I would like it to be.

Yo iceman, how does the ram ball converter that goes in the Scotty flush mount hold up?

That is the same one used in the Hobie sail mast works great.

One of the guys on the Hobie forum seems to have figured this out along the lines you are describing. Take a look at the thread, good photos and explanation of how he did it.
