Abstract: A variable load control valve comprising a load control chamber, a control port for communication with a source of control fluid under pressure and a test point associated with the control port. The test point is normally configured to permit communication between a source of control fluid and the load control chamber. The test point has a first testing configuration permitting communication by both the source of pressure and the load control chamber with a test port. The test point has a second testing configuration permitting communication only between the load control chamber and the test port.

Abstract: A rod holder assembly formed from an upper flange member securable to receiving a socket mounted beneath a gunnel surface. The upper flange has concealed fastening bosses located beneath the flange member which are used to engage fastener that secure a backing plate that is coupled to the receiving socket. The backing plate can be attached directly to the lower surface of the gunnel wherein removal of the upper flange allows for refinishing of the mounting surface and/or the upper flange, without disturbing the receiving socket mounted position.
