SEANOX boat mounts: how to secure your rod holders and equipment properly

Discover the range on AMIAUDSHOP.COM

On a boat, the quality of the mounting matters as much as the equipment itself. A rod holder, a fishing accessory mount or any item fitted to a handrail, a tube, a T-Top or a roll-bar has to stay perfectly stable, even when the boat accelerates, vibrates or runs in demanding conditions.

The wrong mount can create play, damage the tube, get in the way when you use your gear or reduce safety on board.

The SEANOX range of mounts available on AMIAUDSHOP.COM is designed for exactly these needs. Single clamps, double clamps, tracks, track kits, adapters and PVC protective pads let you fit your equipment to different tube diameters and a wide range of boat layouts.

These solutions are for anglers and boaters who want a reliable, durable and easy-to-install set-up for their rod holders and accessories.

Another key point: SEANOX mounts are made in France, in our workshop in Vendée. This local know-how gives us control over design, materials and build quality, with products designed for the real demands of the marine environment.

Why does the mounting matter so much for your boat equipment?

On a fishing boat, equipment faces very different stresses from those on land. Engine vibration, changes of speed, the boat's movement and repeated handling all put heavy loads on mounting points.

A rod holder has to keep the rod in the right position, without unwanted rotation, without gradually working loose and without damaging the tube it's mounted on.

This applies to rod holders and to accessories mounted on:

• a handrail
• a rail
• a T-Top
• a roll-bar
• a tube on the boat's structure

A good boat mount therefore has three essential jobs: hold the equipment firmly, protect the tube and stay reliable over time.

SEANOX mounts are designed to handle these demands, with materials suited to the marine environment, stainless steel in particular. Their sturdy design lets you fit out a boat neatly while keeping your equipment secure on fishing trips.

SEANOX mounts made in France, in our workshop in Vendée!

Choosing a SEANOX mount also means choosing a product made in France.

Our clamps, double clamps, adapters and mounting accessories are developed with real-world use in mind: easy fitting, mechanical strength, long-term durability and compatibility with marine use.

Manufacturing in our workshop in Vendée means we keep direct control over quality. Each product is designed for the practical needs of anglers and boaters: fitting a rod holder, securing equipment, protecting a handrail or creating a removable set-up.

Having design, manufacturing and end use so closely linked is a real advantage when it comes to offering mounts suited to boats used in real conditions.

Beyond its French origin, this control over manufacturing also adds to the durability of the equipment. A well-designed mount, properly machined and made from the right materials, reduces the risk of play, breakage or early replacement.

What are the main types of SEANOX mounts?

The SEANOX range includes several systems for matching rod holders and boat accessories to the available tube and the set-up you want.

For mounting directly on a tube, two options stand out: the single clamp and the double clamp.

The single clamp: fitting a rod holder to a tube!

The SEANOX single clamp is the most direct way to fit a rod holder to a tube, a rail, a handrail, a roll-bar or a T-Top.

It holds a SEANOX rod holder firmly without drilling the tube, which is especially handy when you want to equip a boat without modifying its structure.

Which diameters are available?

SEANOX clamps come in several sizes to fit the tube diameters most commonly found on board:

• Ø22 to 35 mm
• Ø36 to 50 mm
• Ø51 to 65 mm

Before ordering a clamp, measure the outside diameter of the tube it will be fitted to accurately.

Several finishes to suit your boat

Depending on the model, clamps are also available in different finishes:

• mirror-polished stainless steel
• black epoxy
• white epoxy

You can choose the one that best matches your boat's look and where the rod holder will go.

For standard use, the single clamp is ideal for adding a rod holder to a handrail, a rail or a T-Top.

The non-slip PVC pads supplied with the clamp improve grip while reducing the risk of scratching the tube.

The double clamp: making the most of space on board!

The SEANOX double clamp meets a different need: making the most of the space available on the boat.

It provides a sturdy mount for two products on a single clamp, with one item on one side and a second on the other.

This set-up can be used to:

• fit several rod holders
• pair a rod holder with a lure holder
• group several items in one area of the boat
• keep more free space on the handrail or T-Top

The double clamp is particularly useful for anglers who want to optimise their layout, especially when several rods and accessories need to stay within easy reach.

The same diameters and protection as single clamps!

Like single clamps, SEANOX double clamps come in several diameters and finishes to fit the different structures on board.

They also include non-slip PVC pads, which do two jobs: they improve the clamp's grip and protect the stainless steel tube it's fitted to.

The choice between a single and a double clamp mainly comes down to how many items you want to fit: the single clamp suits a standard set-up, while the double clamp uses both sides of the mount and makes better use of the available space.

SEANOX tracks: quick, removable mounting!

The SEANOX track system is designed for anglers and boaters who want to fit or remove their equipment quickly.

The track makes a rod holder removable while keeping the mounting secure and tidy. This flexibility is especially useful when the boat is used for several activities: fishing, cruising, transport, family outings or cleaning the deck.

You can quickly remove a rod holder and fit another accessory instead, such as a cutting board or a lure holder.

SEANOX tracks come as standard with our products, but they're also sold individually in white or black. Their compact design blends in neatly on board.

Another advantage is that you can easily free up space when the rod holders aren't in use. Your equipment doesn't stay on deck for no reason and can be put back quickly before your next fishing trip.

SEANOX track kits: a complete, modular solution!

The SEANOX track kit combines a stainless steel part and a POM part to create a complete, sturdy and modular mount.

It's designed in particular to make multi-rod holders for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 rods more practical to use, with quick installation and easy removal.

This type of kit is ideal for boaters looking for a set-up that is:

• neat
• practical
• sturdy
• removable
• expandable

The system lets you move or remove an item without taking the whole installation apart.

On an all-round boat, this flexibility is a real plus, especially when you switch between fishing trips and leisure cruising.

Track kits suit anglers who want to keep the deck clear while still being able to fit their multi-rod holders quickly when needed.

Clamp-to-track adapters: matching the tube's orientation!

Not every boat structure lets you fit a track directly in the position you want. The SEANOX clamp-to-track adapter solves this problem.

This stainless steel adapter lets you fit a track to a clamp so you can work with tubes at different angles, including vertical tubes or tubes inclined at 45°.

It makes it easier to mount rod holders when your boat's layout calls for a specific adaptation.

An adapter made from marine-grade 316L stainless steel!

The clamp-to-track adapter is made from marine-grade 316L stainless steel, a material suited to the demands of the marine environment.

It features:

• holes for fixing the tracks
• slotted holes for adjusting the angle as needed
• A4 stainless steel fasteners supplied for a strong, long-lasting fixing

This adjustment lets you set the rod holder's angle more precisely to suit your boat.

The adapter is especially useful when the angle of the tube requires it. It complements clamps and tracks when fitting out a fishing boat.

PVC protective pads for rails and handrails!

SEANOX PVC protective pads always come with the clamps. They're also sold separately so you can replace old pads.

They're designed to give a firm hold without marking the stainless steel tube and can be used on different types of mounts:

• rail
• handrail
• T-Top
• roll-bar

These pads play an important role in the quality of the mounting. Placed between the clamp and the tube, they improve grip, reduce the risk of slipping and prevent marks on stainless steel surfaces.

Each bag contains two ready-to-use pads in soft 60SH PVC.

Several sizes are available to match the main diameter ranges of SEANOX clamps:

• Ø22 to 35 mm
• Ø36 to 50 mm
• Ø51 to 65 mm

It's a simple but essential accessory for keeping your mounting neat and protecting your boat's equipment over time.

How do you measure the tube diameter?

Ideally, use a caliper or another precise measuring tool.

Measure directly at the spot where the clamp will be tightened. Some tubes vary slightly depending on their position, finish or bend.

This simple check lets you pick the right diameter range and avoid a poor fit.

Once you know the diameter, you just need to choose the type of mount that best suits how you use your boat: a single or double clamp for a permanent installation, a track if you want flexibility, or an adapter when the tube's orientation calls for a specific set-up.

Which diameter should you choose for your boat mount?

The tube diameter is the first thing to check before choosing a boat mount. A clamp that's too large won't tighten properly. One that's too small won't fit or will put unnecessary strain on the tube.

For a reliable mounting, always measure the tube at the exact spot where the mount will go.

How to choose your SEANOX mount for your needs on board!

To fit a single stainless steel rod holder to a handrail, a single clamp is usually enough. It gives you a neat, stable mounting suited to everyday use.

For more intensive fishing, with several rods or an accessory holder, the double clamp makes even better use of the available space. It can take two items on the same tube, for example a rod holder on one side and a lure holder on the other.

For a boat used for different purposes, the SEANOX track is a very practical solution. You can remove the rod holders when you don't need them and replace them with another accessory, such as a cutting board or a lure tray.

The clamp-to-track adapter meets a more specific need: vertical handrails or tubes whose orientation doesn't allow direct installation. It keeps the removable set-up possible even on more complex boat layouts.

Finally, PVC pads are recommended whenever a clamp is fitted to a visible stainless steel tube or one that marks easily. They improve the grip while protecting the tube.

What to check before fitting!

Before installing a SEANOX mount, take the time to check:

• the exact tube diameter
• the angle you want for the rod holder
• the space available around the rod
• access to the clamping screws once the equipment is in place
• compatibility with fishing accessories already fitted
• whether you need a removable set-up
• protection of the tube against scratches
• the clamp's position, so it doesn't get in the way when moving around the boat

These checks help you avoid a poor installation. A well-placed rod holder stays within reach, doesn't get in the way and lets you handle the rod smoothly while fishing.

Fitting tips for a long-lasting mount !

An effective mount depends as much on the installation as on the product itself.

Before fitting, the tube should be clean, dry and degreased. On a stainless steel tube, salt, deposits or grease can reduce grip and lead to uneven clamping.
Tighten gradually, without forcing. Even tightening positions the clamp properly without putting excessive stress on it.

When using PVC pads, place them correctly between the clamp and the tube to prevent slipping, pinching and marks.

After your first few trips, check the tightness. A quick visual and hands-on check confirms that everything stays perfectly stable despite vibration and the boat's movement.

Also make sure you use the right screws in each position and follow the product's fitting instructions.

Caring for mounts in the marine environment!

Even with tough materials, the marine environment calls for a little maintenance.

After a sea trip, rinse with fresh water to remove salt and abrasive particles. Pay particular attention to:

• clamping areas
• screws
• contact points between different materials
• tracks

SEANOX tracks need to stay clean so they're always easy to fit and remove.

Regular cleaning keeps your mounts working well and extends the life of the installation.

Secure your boat equipment with the right SEANOX mount!

Choosing the right boat mount keeps your rod holders and fishing equipment secure for the long term.

The right set-up depends on the available tube, its diameter, the number of items to fit and how much flexibility you need.

SEANOX single clamps handle standard set-ups, double clamps make better use of space, tracks and track kits offer a very practical removable option, and PVC pads protect stainless steel tubes when tightening.

The SEANOX range available on AMIAUDSHOP.COM lets you fit out a boat neatly with sturdy, easy-to-install solutions designed for real boating conditions.

Made in France, in our workshop in Vendée, these mounts also showcase local craftsmanship at the service of anglers and boaters.

FAQ: SEANOX boat mounts!

Which mount should I choose to fit a rod holder to a handrail?

To fit a rod holder to a handrail, a SEANOX single clamp is the right choice if you want to mount a single item. To fit two items on the same tube, go for a double clamp.
Can I fit a SEANOX mount to a roll-bar?

Yes, a SEANOX mount can be fitted to a roll-bar, but you must choose a clamp that matches the tube diameter. The clamps also suit rails, handrails and T-Tops.

What is a SEANOX track for?

A SEANOX track makes a rod holder or accessory removable. You can quickly take off an item when you're not using it, or swap it for another accessory.

Should I use a PVC pad with a SEANOX clamp?

A PVC pad improves the clamp's grip, reduces the risk of slipping and prevents marks on the stainless steel tube. PVC pads always come with SEANOX clamps.

What's the difference between a SEANOX single clamp and double clamp?

The main difference is the number of items you can fit. The single clamp suits a standard set-up with one item.
The double clamp uses both sides of the mount. It can, for example, combine a rod holder with a lure holder, a cutting board or another accessory mount.

Which clamp diameter should I choose for my boat?

It depends directly on the outside diameter of the tube. SEANOX clamps are available for diameters of Ø22 to 35 mm, Ø36 to 50 mm and Ø51 to 65 mm.
For an accurate measurement, ideally use a caliper directly at the spot where the clamp will be fitted.

Can a SEANOX rod holder be made removable?

Yes, with the track system. It lets you remove the rod holder quickly and, if you like, replace it with another accessory depending on how you're using the boat.
How do I look after a SEANOX boat mount?

Rinse the installation regularly with fresh water after sea trips to remove salt and particles. Also check the clamping areas, screws and tracks.

Are SEANOX mounts made in France?

Yes, SEANOX mounts are made in France, in our workshop in Vendée. Local manufacturing gives us control over the design, materials and build quality of products intended for marine use.
