anyone have a good idea for a swivel-type mounting base for a manual downrigger that's less than Cannon's 89$ mount???:eek:

Re: downrigger bases....

I attached a the Canon mounting plate to a Scotty swivel base at less than half the price of Canon, I seem to remember they were $24.99 each. It may have added two additional inches of height but worked great for the 10 plus years I had the setup. I also refused to buy the $89 Canon bases.

Hey WH, might want to look into Riviera's swivel base specs to see if its going to adapt to the Cannons.. I don't remember if it will w/o a little fabrication.

Part# - 504 / 8 position swivel base
