Something I made in 2008 for a new boat I was reluctant to modify in a substantial way - this knee tube is just for holding a bailing pump under the deck. Got a fishing rod holder from West Marine, shaped the edges a bit so it would fit snug under the deck, then used 3M Dual-Lock Tape (same as used for the EZ Pass on your car) to secure it under the deck. Works reasonably well and removable.
Requires that you roll some foam or duct tape around the pump so that it fits snug. Also, the fishing rod holder I used was a bit wider than some, got this one free of charge at West Marine in Norwalk because they were throwing out a fishing rod display rack. Some of the retail rod holders are too narrow - check before you buy.
