Quick take
Plastic rail mount adapter for round boat rails that accepts all Scotty post-mount rod holders without drilling.
The Scotty 287 is a rail mount that clamps onto 7/8-inch round boat rails and takes Scotty post-mount rod holders. It lets you add a rod holder to a boat without drilling new holes, which suits boats with little room for other mounts. Stainless steel fasteners are included.
Best for
- Boats with existing round rail systems
- Temporary or adjustable rod holder placement
- Keeping mounting options flexible
Skip if
- You have flat rails instead of round
- You prefer permanent drilled mounts
Strengths
- Fits 7/8 in round rails without modifications
- Stainless steel fasteners resist corrosion
- Lets you position rod holders anywhere along the rail
Trade-offs
- Plastic material can flex on heavier reels
- Requires separate Scotty rod holder purchase
- Rail mount is less secure than drilling through the hull
