Crossbar Mounts

Hi Guys and gals I have a question for all the Hobie AI owners. For those of you that don’t know, I make the rod holder mounts for the AI’s PatR Mounts,  and for those of you that have purchased my mounts Thank you for your support.    Recently I have had a couple of people want to mount single rod mounts to the front crossbar, not something I would won’t but was wondering if there was others that had thoughts of putting mounts on there front crossbars. As of yet I do not make singles mounts for the crossbars on AI’s from 2011 to 2017 was wondering if it would be worthwhile to do so.  Thanks for your thoughts .

Pat, Your rod/fish finder mounts are the best. All the hardware and perfect make trolling an ease. Maybe you might post some pictures.  I will snap a few photos of my mounts tomorrow.

maybe I'm not envisioning it right, but can't you just use the FF mount and put a ram ball rocket launcher or a Scotty mount with rocket launchers?

I do not think the FF Mount would be strong enough for a rod holder mainly because it has only one clamp, I could be wrong. Come to find out the crossbars on the 2015-2017 are wider, I think they are the same as the Tandems this is what I was confused with because on my 2012 there is not enough room up there for a rod mount. The Pic is mounts on a 2015 this is what I was wondering if others would be interested in something like that.
