Scotty Downriggers-HELP !
Posted: Fri May 19, 2023 4:38 pm
Hey Guys,
Got a nice pair of lightly used Scotty Propak Downriggers. Working on where/how to mount them. The gunnels on my Crestliner are too narrow to accept the standard mounting plate. They make a mounting plate that would go on the side of the gunnel, I am just unsure of the strength of that application. Anyone face this ? Has anyone used these side mounting plates ?
Considering if I should use gimbal mounts like I have on my Big Jon's........
Happy to hear any suggestions, I appreciate the help !
