My 2018, 2075 Lund Pro V has this hole, in red (with a rod in it) and the hole in blue is for a seat.
I want to find something that goes into the red hole to mount a graph on, instead of drilling holes. It's about 2" in diameter and goes straight thru.
Any ideas? I'd love to have a graph about 18" above the hole.

Thanks,
Sin

Maybe you forgot to add the picture? But I am assuming it is the ski pole/pylon mounting hole if it's beside a seat mount.

Edit: Nevermind, the picture came through after I commented. Definitely a ski pole mount.

How much clearance will you have with the main motor trimmed all the way up? Even if you don't plan to have the motor trimmed all the way up, accident's happen. Looks tight to me from the angle of the picture, maybe a side view would revel plenty of room for the graph.

Maybe you could drill & tap new holes for this square base to sit on top of the current ski-pole base?

Plenty of room.

There is not "plenty of room" to trim the motor all the way up with the ski pylon in. More like no room. The engine cowling will definitely hit the ski pole if the engine is trimmed up.

Don't ask me how I know this...

I use that to provide a spot to put my tarp support :-) Would love to know its real purpose.

that is a nice mount for sure but I think he should look for a taller heavy duty one then mark the holes of the base and drill and tap'

go to ram mounts outlet store and they have a 16" adjustable extension. then add the base in accessories then add a ram mount or something like the one you have listed would work. then to remove just unplug and lift the extension out of the base.

It's stainless......not sure I even want to try drilling and tapping. Unfortunately it's all bolted with nuts underneath.
