Downrigger mounting on Sorensen/Livingston type boat
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2019 11:14 am
I have been using the Cannon Mini Downriggers on my Sorensen for a few years but recently came in to a deal I couldn't refuse(?) and got two Scotty 1050's.
My question is where and how to mount them? I have the clamp on adaptors but they don't fit the gunnels(not wide enough opening). Also have the 90 degree mounts but not sure if I need backing or not since the downriggers are the 1050's.
I know I can mount them to my aluminum boat with the clamp on pieces but would like to be able to move them back and forth between boats.
As you can guess I'm trying to avoid drilling holes in the boat.
Thanks for any reply.
