Hello all.
Time to rig the boat for salmon fishing.
I got rid of the fishing boat, so only have the cuddy cabin now, 28 feet.

I want to install at least one downrigger on this boat. but can not find any Ideas how to.

anyone have a downrigger on Cuddy cabin or have any Ideas that would help ?

We need a picture of the back of the boat including the sides. where it could be mounted.

lets see if these work, pics from summer time, still have to un wrap the boat to take new pics.

So I think I might be able to install a right angle portable plate [Scotty side mount] on top of the storage at the back port side ?

ill post a pic of the back as well. but not sure if possible. there is some clearance under the back seats, but might be way too close to the prop.

Yes, on the port side right behind the bottle between the arch supports if you can get under there. Then add a support plate underneath to keep everything nice and stiff.
