That's no fun. I like seeing someones face smashed against the inside of the transom.
I'll never forget a couple of years ago, I had a fiberglass guy doing some work on my boat. I had some piling rub marks along with a bunch of bill marks on the outside of the cockpit. I remember the guy spotted a chip on the fiberglass on the inside of the transom. I told him not to fix it. It was a great memory from a guy that lost four teeth from trying to hold onto a reel testing 60 pounds of drag. He went flying into the transom mouth first.
To me it was like a scar. Every scar tells a story in your life. So, please don't use the rod holder, and be a man. Stand up and if your worried, put on a helmet.
