The C.E. Smith 53740 Aluminum Horizontal Clamp-On Rod Holder is a heavy-duty storage solution designed for horizontal mounting on boat T-tops, towers, or railings. Built from marine-grade anodized aluminum, it features a high-polish finish that provides excellent corrosion resistance while matching the aesthetic of premium boat hardware.

This model is engineered specifically to fit 2" pipe, which has an actual 2.375" Outside Diameter (OD).² The wrap-around clamp design provides a rock-solid grip without the need for drilling into your boat's aluminum or stainless steel frame, making it a perfect aftermarket upgrade for adding extra rod capacity to your radar arch or T-top crossbars
