Ultimate Rod Racks Compatible with Kingfisher® Boats
Looking for a rod rack that actually fits your Kingfisher?
Ultimate Rod Racks NZ designs and manufactures premium aftermarket rod storage systems engineered to be compatible with a wide range of Kingfisher® boats.
Built around our proprietary GunnelCore™ System, each rod rack is configured to suit the varying storage pocket designs found throughout the Kingfisher range. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution, we select the correct mounting system for your boat, delivering a secure, drill-free installation that keeps your rods organised, protected and immediately accessible.
From compact multihulls to larger offshore hardtops, Ultimate Rod Racks provide a premium rod storage solution engineered to complement the practical, hard-fishing nature of Kingfisher boats.
Engineered Around Kingfisher Boats
Kingfisher boats have earned a reputation for practical layouts, outstanding performance and uncompromising build quality.
Across the range, storage pocket designs vary considerably between models. Some feature exceptionally low, angled storage pockets, while larger models utilise deeper, wider pocket designs requiring a different mounting approach.
Rather than forcing a universal rod rack to fit every boat, Ultimate Rod Racks uses the modular GunnelCore™ System to configure the correct mounting solution based on your boat's pocket geometry.
The result is a cleaner installation, improved rod support and the flexibility to adapt as Kingfisher designs continue to evolve.
Two Engineered Systems. Configured for Your Kingfisher.
To achieve the best possible fit, Ultimate Rod Racks uses two purpose-engineered GunnelCore™ mounting systems across the Kingfisher range.
Silverback Low Rider (SLR) System
Many Kingfisher models feature exceptionally low storage pockets with angled mounting faces.
To achieve the best possible fit, Ultimate Rod Racks utilises our purpose-developed 100mm Silverback Low Rider (SLR) Backframe, specifically engineered for these compact pocket designs.
Where required, the SLR is paired with our SLR Angled Bracket System, allowing the mounting geometry to match the storage pocket angle while maintaining a clean, low-profile installation.
Built around the adjustable GunnelCore™ System, the correctly configured SLR creates a secure Mechanical Friction Fit™ by combining the geometry of the storage pocket with the correctly sized backframe, angled bracket and premium marine-grade EVA padding.
The result is a firm, rattle-free installation that remains fully removable without drilling or permanently modifying your boat.
This system is particularly well suited to many of the smaller Kingfisher models and multihulls featuring compact storage pockets.
Hybrid System
Larger Kingfisher models with deeper or wider storage pockets are generally better suited to the Hybrid System.
Depending on the storage pocket dimensions, Ultimate Rod Racks configures either the 34mm or 60mm GunnelCore™ Hybrid Backframe, ensuring the correct contact area, support and adjustment for each individual boat.
Like every GunnelCore™ mounting system, the Hybrid creates a secure Mechanical Friction Fit™ using the natural geometry of the storage pocket together with premium marine-grade EVA padding.
The Hybrid System remains fully adjustable, allowing the rack to be positioned as low as practical for improved rod support, accessibility and stability while remaining completely removable whenever required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my Kingfisher?
Most Kingfisher boats can be accommodated using either the 100mm SLR System or the Hybrid System. Simply provide your exact boat model and we'll configure the correct solution for your boat.
Do I need to drill holes?
No. The GunnelCore™ System creates a secure Mechanical Friction Fit™ using your existing storage pockets. No drilling or permanent modification is required.
How do I know if I need the SLR or Hybrid System?
We'll determine that for you. Simply tell us your Kingfisher model or send us a couple of photos of the storage pockets and we'll configure the correct mounting system before your rack is built.
Can I move the rack to another boat?
In many cases, yes. The modular GunnelCore™ System allows the backframe to be changed to suit another compatible boat.
