Mounting Instructions
Our recommendations with regard to mounting locations are:
Downriggers work best if they are mounted near the stern of the boat. They will
work at any location but the risk of tangling wire line in your prop during a turn is
minimized the further back the downrigger is mounted.
The downrigger should be mounted in a location where it is easy to reach and
operate. Remember you will be handling heavy weights on and o and you will
be setting lines and releases. The downrigger needs to be convenient for these
activities. Do not mount it where you have to reach or lean a long way to make
the connections.
FOR MODELS 1050 & 1060
These models mount using the 1010 slide-in mounting bracket supplied with
the downrigger. This bracket should be securely mounted to the boat as shown
below. Slide your downrigger into the mounting bracket and secure the lock bar.
We recommend that a wood or metal backing always be installed on the
underside of the mounting surface. This spreads the load and avoids damage to
the boat, in the event of a bottom hang up.
