Installation 

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". 
 
 

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.
