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. 

 

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 
urface. 

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.
