Mounting rod holders on pipe railing

[777]

I'm rigging up my new to me boat. I need to mount the Scotty rod holders on the 1 1/4" railing. I can't seem to get the rod holder receptacle tight enough on the rail for my satisfaction. Does anyone have any experience with this? I think the Scotty part for rail mounting is spec'd for only up to 1". Is this my problem? Hoping to get out fishing first thing tomorrow!

Tia!

I had the same issue and installed an additional screw to stop it from turning

Scotty also makes a rail mount adapter that uses a center bolt pins.

scotty 245 is for 1 1/4" rails, 242 is for 1"

Some rubber tubing or something to take up the space would do maybe black tape till something more suitable just to get you out fishing
