Skull-Saver boating safety tips for you and your family while boating!
We recommend periodically taking off the skullsaver and cleaning the actual rod holder to prevent any damage or corrosion to the aluminum rod holder.
It is also important to note that the weep hole in the bottom of the Skull Saver is used to drain rain water so its important to have the hole at the lowest point.

Tips:
- To maximize the life of your Skull Saver and your rod holder, it is important to periodically remove your Skull Saver and clean both the rod holder butt and the inside of the Skull Saver.
- On the bottom of each Skull Saver there is a weep hole. This is designed to keep water from collecting in the bottom of your Skull Saver, so it is important to have this weep hole at the lowest possible point.
- Stay sober. Nearly one-half of all boating accidents involve alcohol.
- File a float plan with a responsible person.
- Wear a personal flotation device; know how to swim.
