I have 3 vertical rod holders on both sides of my boat, just forward of the windshield on my 18'. Your absolutely correct in that when you open your walkthrough it will interfere, in my case with two rods. But for me this is the best option without adding one more thing to the floor plan of an already small boat. Prior to run up I lift the two rods about 6" out of the holder and shut the windshield. Or in most cases I just leave it open. Call me a dog, I like the wind in my face.
Also one of the nicest thing about having your rod tips up is you remove the chance of the little ones or the dog walking by and picking up a hook in the arm, eye, paw, etc.
