Downrigger Mounting on Boats
A downrigger should be mounted where ever 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 spot to mount your
downrigger on your boat is 99% of the job.
Due to the great variety of boats available,
mounting your downrigger can be a dilemma.
Having proper mounting accessories is essential.
Cannon has a complete line of mounting
accessories to conveniently mount your
downriggers on any boat.

Mounting Accessories
Deck Plates are necessary when extra
strength must be added to the base material of
the boat and for attaching the downrigger to other
mounting accessories.
Gimbal Mounts are designed to fit medium-
sized flush mounted rod holders built into the
gunwale of many larger fishing boats and
cruisers. Only sturdy, high quality rod holders
should be used for this temporary mounting
system. Gimbal mounts are available in 9" or 12"
post lengths.
MOUNTING & SETUP
Clamp Mounts can be mounted at the
junction of two rail sections with the aid of two ¼"
pieces of plywood. They will protect your rail from
any marks from the clamp and provide a non-slip
surface.
