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. 

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.

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 surface.
