Downrigger Install Gspot

[willy]

Finally got around to installing my new Cannon EasiTroll's

The gunwales were too narrow for a install of the baseplates, I did not like the normal method of dealing with that. Which would be a pedestal mount. Not strong enough in my opinion and would not position them for easy use.

So to the workshop we go, picked up some marine aluminum plate, nice and thick, cut to shape, holes marked and drilled


positioned and bolted to pre-selected and marked spots with 1/4x20 stainless bolts and lock nuts and washers, one inch washers under the gunnels to spread the load


Another view


Finished mounting, nice units


Did full service, plugs oil filters lower units water sep/filters on the Yammi 60 four stroke and the venerable Suzy 9.9 two smoker. A little ring free in the tank and all is set for tommorow going for browns rainbows and lakers in Round Valley Reservoir, hopefully the weather accomodates


OOP's how did this get in here


You all take care and comb your hair
