Watching gear go overboard is never a fun experience. Retractable push pole holders from Accon Marine keep valuable equipment secure and within easy reach. They also tuck out of the way when not in use, preserving a boat's clean lines and reducing the chance of snagging a line.

Accon 708 Flush-Mount Push Pole Holders feature durable 316 SS and UV-resistant glass-filled nylon construction for long life and extreme durability. In use, they suspend poles 27mm off the deck, eliminating the need for riser shims, then retract discretely into the deck for a flush fit. Both standard Model 708 and ring-type Model 708-R holders are available.

An optional waterproofing cup to protect against water intrusion inside the boat fits both styles. Installation is easy, requiring only a 122mm x 35mm opening and four #10 SS screws.

Where deck cut-outs are impractical, Accon Marine's Model 710 Fold-Down Push Pole Holder is the easy-to-install surface mount solution. Featuring the same durable construction as its retractable counterparts, it mounts with three #10 SS screws and folds flat when not in use.
