Description
Traxstech LNC‑102 Narrow Gunwale Clamp
A no‑drill, rock‑solid mounting solution for narrow 2 1/4" gunwales
The Traxstech LNC‑102 Narrow Gunwale Clamp is engineered for anglers who need a secure, non‑permanent mounting option on boats with limited or thin gunwale space. Built from heavy‑duty anodized aluminum and machined with Traxstech’s signature precision, this clamp provides a stable base for rod holders, electronics, downriggers, and other accessories—all without drilling into your boat.
Designed specifically for boats resembling many Lowe models, this clamp distributes weight and stress evenly across the gunwale, protecting your boat while giving you the flexibility to build a fully modular Traxstech system.
Important Fitment Requirement
To ensure proper installation, your gunwale must measure exactly:
- 2 1/4" wide
- 1" tall
- Lip on both sides
The LNC‑102 is compatible only with boats that have a true 2 1/4" gunwale profile.
Key Features
Perfect for Narrow Gunwales
Ideal for boats with tight or limited mounting surfaces where traditional tracks won’t fit.
No‑Drill Installation
Protects your boat by eliminating the need for permanent holes. The clamp tightens securely to the gunwale using an allen screw and two metal dowel pins.
Heavy‑Duty Aluminum Construction
Machined from high‑strength aluminum and anodized for corrosion resistance—built to withstand harsh marine environments.
Fully Modular
Install these narrow gunwale clamps to your boat gunnel, and then add our mounting tracks, which accepts all Traxstech accessories, including rod holders, risers, electronics mounts, and more.
Quick to Install, Easy to Remove
Perfect for anglers who switch between boats or prefer a removable setup.
