Cheaper to bend a wire coat hanger to fit the mug then hang it from your guard rail.

I looked at getting a couple a few years back and almost fainted at the rip off prices being charged. I then hit on the idea of using cycle bottle holders which work for cans, bottles and mugs.

They don't gimble but are very secure being held on to the push pitr by cable ties. And at £4 just the business. I got Zephal ones but very similar to these...

Two gimballed mug holders for sale.

I put two for sale on ebay yesterday, I have fashioned wooden holders instead.

You can see them here …

You do not want ones that hook on the guard rails. Mate of mine bought two very expensive chrome plated ones which promptly spun round the wire when we hit a wave and jumped off into the 'oggin complete with glasses & contents.

Gulp an inch off the top and they don't need to be gimballed.
Than make a mniwashboard with mugholder holes, and drop them in there.

One upright washboard
One horizontal shelf
One retainer shelf with 4 can sized holes.

10 screws to assemble.

sorted.

And my version of the wire coat hanger cup holder

Pretty much, but without the serving box, just 4 tinny holes in a line.

Wooden cockpit mug holder

I have a couple of insulated 'car' mugs. They have a vary wide base with non-slip rubber. I think they came from a chandlery. They don't seem to fall over.

 

[FishyInverness]

Try one of these?

 

[pappaecho]

Any self respecting boater has tinny holders with a cut out so the mug handle fits as well!
