I have a Skeeter boat and am looking for the rod straps (bungee cord type ) and the hooks that go with them. A boat dealer wants $25 for 1 of these  ,thats crazy. Does anyone know where I can find the parts to make my own ?

This place has them in their Catalog show room but can't find them doing a web site search. http://www.thesportscenter.com/I just bought them for my Javelin there and they were less than $10 each (I think $7.95). I bought a couple of spares but they are in my boat and it's at the lake so I can't tell you what the brand names is. The have two styles, one comes with the flange ready to mount in the side of the gunwall but has a much larger hook on it than I liked. The other is the identical ones in my boat with the smaller hook but without the flange. If yours are the same as mine, there's a flat slotted plastic piece on the flange inside the gunwall that keeps the end from coming through the hole. The bungie has a screw eyelet on one end and a hook on the other and are approx 12" long. I just took that flat slotted lock off my old ones and used it on the new ones which were identical to the old ones in every way. If you call them about them, I think you will want the ones with the eyelet mount on one end and the smaller hook on the other end of the bungee and don't have the bow mounting flange.

Thanks Way , this helps !

I remembered the name, I think these are what you're looking for. Just the gunwall mount has a rather large hook so I used the deck mount and the other parts I reused off my boat to mount them in the gunwall.http://www.thmarine.com/product.cfm?PRID=89. The deck 12" deck mount is the ones I bought for about $8.00

Might want to check this out http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0031035013618a&type=product&cmCat=search&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=Rod+Tamer&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=Rod+Tamer&noImage=0

This is the ones I used, and the clip that holds it in the gunwall off my old ones. I notice these are the 18" and mine were 12", but it's no problem taking the end off and cutting them if your's are the 12", just be extremely careful lifting the little locks after you slide the sleeve back, the locks will break off.

tbird.  I picked up an extra cord for my tracker in the main BPS store in Hampton.  I would think that the other BPS outlets would carry them.  Believe it is 9 inches long (will stretch) and $6.99.  It is the same one that comes on the Trackers.  I had purchased the components at BPS parts to construct one (which I had already decided I did not like) but took the parts back when I found the exact replacement.  Put it on the back platform.  I do like the ones that come on the Trackers.

Thanks for the reply guys ,my rod holder bungee's are about 5' long and feed through a hole in the side of the boat . To secure your rods you simply pull the cord with hook out of the hole , cover your rods and secure to the keeper mounted on the deck of the boat. I did find the bungee cord for like .30 a ft at REI (outdoor camping place) but still can't find the hooks the right size .
