hey guys, just received a scotty downrigger from my neighbor last night. after looking on the scotty web site a figure it is the manual 30" telescoping model. everything looks to be in excellent shape and barely used but does not come with the mounting bracket. i will not be using this downrigger alot other than in some of the deeper lakes as i am not ready for the salt just yet, but would like to get some opinions on the different mounting brackets on the market. i will be mounting it to the deck of a 16 foot aluminum Legend.

There are basically two types, tilt and swivel pedestal. Both a matter of preference. The tilt gives you
more room on the sides for smaller boats.

You need the tilt mount for the swivel mount to work. The tilt mount also works with a variety of prawn pullers.
The mount is Part No. 1023.
Have fun, Jason

hey firstlight, i appreciate the offer for the mount but i am in chilliwack and do not get into mapleridge very often any more. i,m thinking i will just head down to a local supplier of scotty here and see what they have to offer. i was looking at some of the tilt and swivel models which seem to be very handy, but i,m thinking for the amount of time i will be using mine i will just get the stationary mount.
