Hi

Would be interested to see any pics that anyone has of a downrigger that has been fitted to a cruisecraft?

Also any advice i need to keep in mind when fitting it.

(I have the rotating base)

Cheers

Its too easy man. I just fitted a 1050 to my quintrex. Just put it straight out the side, as close to the back of the boat as you can while still being able to reach it to wind it. Drill 4 holes and put in the 4 bolts that it comes with.....Make sure you use the washers aswell. If the metal is a bit thin then use bigger washers to spread the load, or even something bigger like a square piece of wood about 10mm thick inbetween the mount and the boat.
