I really like that bracket, it looks a lot sturdier than the ones you buy. Any details on how you made it?

They also make great flag pole holders. :D

I like that you attached it to a cleat and no holes were drilled. Definitley need pics of that.

used one of the pinch clamps to mount to cleat. 2 thumb screws hold it to cleat , they go between the cleat and the boat . cut out a slot in the pole to slide over the cleat. still need to clean up the cut , then im going to take a piece of vac tubing an cut a slit and wrap it around the cut out drilled a hole thru both clamp and pipe to put a pin thru to keep it from turning, I used the 4 flat bolts from the dish to mount my plate to grill with the nut towards the grill need to get 4 more thumb nuts so i can remove the grill from the mount for storageImageImageImageImage

fact I kept the same bracketry when I threw out my dish 6 months ago.
