Decks thinner than 1/4"

Use a Cannon deck plate (PN 2200693) to prevent deflection 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" flat head screws and four wellnuts to mount deck plate. Tighten the screws so the wellnuts are firmly compressed.

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" flat head screws, nuts and washers (flat and lock). Fasten plate to deck. To secure 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-Profile Swivel Base mounting follows the same

Installation

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 fix the swivel base to the boat deck.
