Bob,

I use these holders, also, and I wish I needed more--that's a good price.  I
have 8 on board now, and move everything portable from one to the next.  In
addition to drinks, I put cell phones into them, my gps, small hand held
compasses, little trash, and nuts and bolts when I'm working on something.
I have 2 on the stern rail, 2 near the captains seats, and 2 mounted on the
stationary arms of the pop-top.  2 more float around as needed.  I use the
one on the port side stationary pop-top arm to hold open a plastic trash bag
which is exchanged for a clean bag after every outing.

Jim, my solution to that is First take a big first sip out of your beverage
and then put it in one of these holders I found at Defender.com (they are
currently on sale) http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|406&id=128222
I have two on the stern rails above the "autopilot" clip with plans for two
more on the grab rails on the bulkhead.  They heal with the boat, not
gimpled, but they and your dirnk stay put.  I also think they are not
trashing looking.  Bob Weber
