Trying to figure out what type of bases I need to attach to my boat. I’m assuming I need a piece that gets attached to the boat and a secondary mount that swivels? Or is there an all in one that will do the job? I tried looking online, but couldn’t find any bases that fit the mounting of these old Downrigger’s Appreciate the help.

I used 1/4" aluminum plates and just drilled matching holes from my base (Scotty is what I use).
