Mounting Instructions
FOR MODELS 1080, 1085 & 1091
These models mount onto a Scotty 1023 tilt-up mounting bracket supplied with
the downrigger. This bracket should be securely mounted to the boat as
shown below. The downrigger can be mounted on the side of the boat, the stern
or o the corner. The mounting bracket must be mounted on a flat surface and
the rear of the bracket must be within ¼” of the edge of the gunnel so that the
downrigger spool has clearance for tilting (see diagram). Because of the heavy
stresses placed on the boat gunnel by the leverage of the long downrigger arm,
we recommend that a wood or metal backing plate 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.
Position the downrigger on the tilt bracket. Insert the stainless steel mounting
bolt through the downrigger base and mounting bracket. Hand tighten.
NOTE: If your boat’s gunnel configuration does not allow this standard
mounting, see the optional mounts on page 11
