Fisherpete Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I have one on my boat (24") - I like it - If I can remember it came with 10 heavy duty stainless steel screws. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I have 2 12" cannon tracks on my boat. They come with mounting bolts. So far so good, I really like them. I have heard that they show wear moreso than some other track systems, but who cares it's a fishing boat! I don't know much about well nuts, other than a bit of light reading I did researching trolling motors. Apparently guys use them for mounting trolling motors on some bass boats and glass rigs. I don't know how well they'd hold up over time with prolonged trolling and 12lb balls. Probably best to post on spoonpullers, those guys would know.

steelhedrmatt Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I've been using them for years. The only difference I can see between burt's and cannon, is burts are extruded aluminum, and cannon is cast. with Fiberglas gunwales, I would suggest through bolting with a backer rather than using the screws provided.

KraTToR Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks everyone. I will be using them for rod holders and I'll be mounting it on the inside of the gunwale, near the top. I'll have to use well-nuts as I cannont access this area to install any type of backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I've had them for a couple of seasons and they've been great. They came with screws but I bolted mine down where I could and hand tightened the few screws with Loc-tite. I believe most track products will fit in them as well. I do know that Bert's do. Sucks that you can't get to the back side of them. It was stress to me that there should be some kind of backing in place for them, I used an aluminum plate. Maybe go with the longest track you can to spend the stress load. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwilly Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I use em for downriggers and they're great. Also compatible with Bert's tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
