The cannon rail / side mount is designed to secure your downrigger to the “t” joints on rails of boats with narrow gunwales. It is driven by the same passion that inspires fishermen. It is compatible with all cannon downriggers (except mini-troll), subject to the strength of the tubing it is mounted on.
This mount requires rails to mount on. It is built with machined aluminum and powder coated to resist corrosion. The holes on the top of the mount are threaded, which is very nice. It comes with 1" tube washers to help level the side mount. It is convenient and quite effective.
