Title: 14' smoker craft Alaskan
Post by: whitey on July 08, 2011, 07:07:06 PM: Need some help here.
I have a down rigger I want to install on this boat. Its a Scotty 1050c depthmaster.
What mount would work on this application?
Do You all make one or is there a mount they sell that will work.
If you have made one do you have pictures.
Thanks for the help, silvers and pinks are on the way and I want to be ready.
Whitey..OUT!!

Scroll a little way down the page and you can see all the scotty mounts
