Rustic-Fisher Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Running a G3 177 Outfitter , Tiller . Thinking of mounting a cannon track system on the gunnel, it’ll be tight …. Has anyone mounted a track sys on narrow gunnels ? was gonna reinforce under the gunnel where the track sys goes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bacon Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 I have contemplated it. I thought of using some 1" square tubing to widen the gunwale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pics Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 It's doable if the holes line up with a space to put the nut and bolts underneath.. a little hanging over the edge would be ok I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Greedydrift Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Are the tracks being installed to mount downriggers? If yes, think about mounting riggers in the boat, up on those narrow gunnels they get smashed against docks and walls when tying off your boat.

BillM Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'm not a fan of thin gunwales. I'd definitely mount your riggers on pedestals inside the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitsmith2k Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Big Jon had a thinner track system that I put on my gunwales.. i did have a tough time finding them a couple years ago, though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustic-Fisher Posted April 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Thanks for the ideas! after careful thought .. I bailed on it . Figure I'll just save the $$$ and continue to feed my new Muskie obsession lol. No riggers this year . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 I see you’ve given up on the idea for now, but I’ll give my thoughts for next time. I have wide gunnels and the tracks on the gunnels are great, but I have lots of area for reinforcement underneath. MY old boat had skinny gunnels and I mounted tracks on the decks and used pedestals. It was a great setup, and when they weren’t in use I put the inserts in the tracks and it was a very clean install. That’s the way I’d go if I where you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
