[Rhodes22-list] Why Do You Want Seaworthy Drinkholder?.

[Bob Weber]

Jim, my solution to that is First take a big first sip out of your beverage 
and then put it in one of these holders I found at Defender.com (they are 
currently on sale) http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|406&id=128222
I have two on the stern rails above the "autopilot" clip with plans for two 
more on the grab rails on the bulkhead.  They heal with the boat, not 
gimpled, but they and your dirnk stay put.  I also think they are not 
trashing looking.  Bob Weber
