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 fi rmly
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 fl at washers and nuts.
Fasten the base to the deck as pictured.
NOTE: Wellnuts
SHOULD NOT
be used on decks
thicker than 7/16”.
Decks up to
7/16” Thick
Decks Thicker
Than 7/16” Thick
Installation
DECKS THINNER THAN 1/4”
Use a Cannon deck plate (PN 2200693) to prevent defl ection and add stability to decks thinner than 1/4”. Use
the deck plate as a template to mark the hole locations.
If access to the underside of the deck is not available, the deck plate can be mounted using screws and wellnuts.
Use the deck plate as a template to mark locations and drill 4 wellnut clearance holes. Use four 1/4-20 x 1-1/2”
fl at head screws and four wellnuts to mount deck plate. Tighten the screws so the wellnuts are fi rmly com-
pressed.
Where the underside is accessible, the deck plate can be mounted using screws, nuts, and washers. Drill 9/32”
holes. Use four 1/4-20 x 1-1/2” fl at head screws, nuts and washers (fl at and lock). Fasten plate to deck. To se-
cure the mounting base to the deckplate use four 1/4-20 x 1” truss head screws.
NOTE: When using the telescopic boom, we strongly recommend the use of a deck plate on all boats to
provide adequate stability for the downrigger.
The Low-Profi le Swivel Base mounting follows the same procedure
as for the deck plate except that four 1/4”-20 x 1-1/2” truss head
screws are used to fasten the mounting base and four additional
1/4”-20 x 2” truss head screws fi x the swivel base to the boat deck.
