Ketch Kustom Flush Mount Rod Tube Delete Plate Installation

Old Town® Kayaks

In this video, Jake walks through the installation of the Ketch Kustom Flush Mount Rod Tube Delete Plate for select Old Town Kayaks models. This plate is a direct bolt-on replacement for factory flush-mount rod holders, allowing you to convert an unused rod tube into a clean, functional mounting surface while maintaining a factory-finished look.

The installation shown demonstrates the ball-mount version, which is designed to accept a 1/4″-20 Allen head screw for mounting a 1.5″ accessory ball. While this video shows the ball-mount configuration, all versions of the Rod Tube Delete Plate install the same way.

This single video serves as the installation guide for the following Flush Mount Rod Tube Delete Plates for Old Town Kayaks:

• Ball mount variant
• Standard variant 
• T-Track variant 
• Wire Passthrough variant 
• Atwood 2 or 3 pin base compatible

Each plate is precision-machined from 6061 aluminum and finished in a durable Midnight Black anodize, making it corrosion-resistant, warp-proof, and built to handle harsh fishing environments.
