Mate Series C2015D Combination Rod and Cup Holder 316L Stainless Steel Oval Top 15 Degree with NPT Drain

The Mate Series C2015D is a 316L stainless steel combination fishing rod and cup holder that serves dual purposes in a single gunwale installation. Designed for anglers who want to maximize deck space without sacrificing functionality, this innovative holder accepts both a beverage and a fishing rod in the same flush-mount opening — eliminating the need to cut separate holes for each.

When a fish strikes and you have a drink in hand, the C2015D lets you instantly swap your cup for your rod without scrambling for a free holder. The oval top profile gives it the clean, low-profile appearance of a premium cup holder, while the 15° rod angle positions your rod at a productive bite-ready angle. The 3/8" NPT drain fitting at the bottom allows connection to an onboard drain line, keeping your deck dry.

Key Features:

• Dual-use design functions as both a fishing rod holder and a cup holder
• Constructed from high-quality 316L stainless steel for superior marine corrosion resistance
• Oval top profile for a sleek, low-profile appearance
• 15° rod angle — ideal for gunwale, leaning post, and console mounting
• 3/8" NPT drain fitting for connection to onboard drain lines
• Straight cup holder section at top simplifies installation — no angled hole-saw cuts required
• Optional backing plate (sold separately) available for added support
• Winner of the 2010 IBEX Innovation Award
• Sold individually

Installation is straightforward thanks to the non-angled upper section: a standard right-angle hole-saw cut is all that's needed, making both OEM builds and retrofits simple. The C2015D is sold as a single unit.
