Dara Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Last weekens I took the kids out for a first trip. Needed downrigger mounting spots. I grabbed a bit of stainless steel from work and had the guys cut and bend it for me. Then took it home and marked, drilled, and polished it with an orbital sander. They came out pretty nice. I think I should scrape the green paint off the mounts from the previous boat. I didn't want to add any holes and they fit right where the cleats were so I just matched the holes. I went with 1/8 thick rather than 1/4 so I could even use the same bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnAB Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Nice boat, congrats. I also like your downrigger mounting plate set up. Currently looking at mounting my two into my boat and your setup has given me an idea or two. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
