  • Boat Type: Illinois, MacGregor 26X, Boat Type

Drink holder model #54210300 from ssicustomplastics.com fits nicely in my 26X helm pedestal. I use it more to hold my VHF handheld radio than drinks. Added a 12VDC receptacle in the top of the holder which is a dry location. Convenient location to plug in my spotlight when a neighbor is dragging onto me in the anchorage at night. SSI makes quality OEM marine components.
