Well heres the scoop, spoke with the factory. Up to 2012 no downrigger brackets, 2013 will be available.
Spoke with my dealer and they are going to custom make them. If anyone is interested I will post a picture after delivery.
Huh? They've have down-rigger mounts for the Sport Traks for a while. They're not the same as the ones that you can mount rod holders and other things to. They mount in the inside track, go over the top of the gunnel and screw into the outside track with about 12 screws and grommets. The down side is any one with a snap cover either can't use it or they have to take out all those screws every time they use their down-riggers. I was quoted around $90 a piece a few years ago for my first Explorer.
Well the boat is home, my dealer made aluminum mounts which turned out great. If I can figure it out I will post pics.
I can say Im not impressed with the sportrak mounts. Its a good idea but I had a hard time getting them in place and they are not what I would call easy to move.
