SeaSucker Sunction Cup

Does anyone have any experience with the suction cups mounting tanks or any accessories? Thinking about trying them out for some tank holders and other things.

Re: SeaSucker Sunction Cup

Yes they work great. On a prior boat I built pvc boxes that I could take on and off the boat with sea suckers. On my current boat I've put 4 tank holders on a roll control and mounted it on the back of my helm seat. Not only do I not put more holes in the boat, but depending on the trip, I've got options to set the boat up different ways.

Re: SeaSucker Sunction Cup

Do you use the 4.5" or the 6"? They use the 6" for there tank holders, but the 4.5" are rated for 120lbs. I would think that would be plenty? Do you have any pictures available?

While not for tanks, we use a 6" sea sucker to keep the big frigid rigid from sliding back when its rough.

Re: SeaSucker Sunction Cup

So assuming I uploaded correctly. One pic you can see in the corner the pvc tank holder with gun rack on front. You can barely see the seasucker in the back.

Pic 2 is current 4 tank rack. I already had the seasuckers and just bought the roll control and cut to fit.

Re: SeaSucker Sunction Cup

Ok cool. Thanks. Looks like you have the 6" I guess I'll go with those unless you think the smaller cup will work.

Re: SeaSucker Sunction Cup

Yeah I used 6 inch to be safe since it was 4 tanks of weight. Added bonus of current setup is space between roll control and boat created by seasuckers is a nice spot for fins.

Re: SeaSucker Sunction Cup

I made this for all related dive gear. Fins, stringer, gloves, etc.
