After some success with in-line planer boards for musky fishing I decided to pick up a mast system (thanks kijiji!) because in rough conditions the smaller boards would dive....man what a headache that is! The mast has maybe a 6 by 6 plate that it sits on, and has a 6x6 backing plate to secure it underneath (if that makes any sense). I'm hearing the furthest front is the best place to mount (my boat is 16.5 feet). So I'm thinking to mount it right up by the trolling motor at the front of the boat. It looks like that is plywood up there under the carpet. Is that gonna be the best spot and able to hold on to 2 Riviera boards with a few musky baits in tow? Or one day will the front of my boat, trolling motor and mast come flying back and smash my windshield? It seems like an ideal spot because the base won't get in the way on the days that I'm not using the mast. If that area isn't secure enough I am open to suggestions.
