How do I install my Cannon 1901200 Mini-Troll Manual Downrigger on my boat?

[DelLola]

To properly install your Cannon 1901200 Mini-Troll Manual Downrigger, consider these mounting options. For a transom mount, you may need a wood block to ensure secure clamping and to distribute the force, preventing potential damage. When mounting to the gunwale, use a wood block on the inside of the boat to spread the clamping force. Depending on the rail's overhang, you might also need a block on the outside. If needed, use the included spacer block by sliding its dovetail-shaped tab into the matching recess on the downrigger's frame, ensuring the holes face down. Ideally, mount the Mini-Troll off the transom to handle weight directly behind it. Gunwale mounting is generally not recommended as it could cause stress on the frame. Always consult the Cannon 1901200 Mini-Troll Manual Downrigger user manual for detailed diagrams and instructions.
