Downrigger Mounting on Boats
A downrigger should be mounted wherever it is
easy to operate and observe. You want to be able to
see your fishing rod and to react quickly. So,
choosing a good location to mount your downrigger
on your boat is very important.
Due to the great variety of boats available,
mounting your downrigger can be a difficult decision.
Cannon has a complete line of mounting and fishing
accessories to aid in your fishing experience. Before
making any permanent changes to your boat consider
what accessories might be used in your application.
Installing the Base on Your Boat
Decks up to 7/16" thick
Where access to the underside of the deck is not
available, the mounting base can be mounted using
wellnuts. Use the base as a template to mark locations
and drill four wellnut clearance holes. Mount the base
using four 1/4-20 x 1-1/2" truss head screws and four
wellnuts. Tighten the screws so the wellnuts are firmly
compressed as pictured.
Decks thicker than 7/16"
For decks thicker than 7/16", or where the
underside of the deck is accessible, mount the base
with screws, nuts, and washers. Use the base as a
template to mark the locations and drill four 9/32" holes.
Use four 1/4-20 x 2" truss head screws and four each
flat washers and nuts. Fasten the base to the deck as
pictured. NOTE: Wellnuts
SHOULD NOT be used on
decks thicker than 7/16".
