  • Patent number: 4645167
    Abstract: A fishing boat accessory which mounts a rotatable boat chair and a plurality of support arms which hold fishing gear and accessories.

A main support arm extends from the spool and carries on its outer end a collar and a vertical barrel. Extending from the collar is a rod holding arm which carries a fishing rod holder on its outer end. A compartmental tray is mounted on top of the barrel. Extending to the side of the barrel is an auxiliary arm which carries a mounting plate used to support a tackle box.
