Has anyone mounted a downrigger for their 2010 Tahoe Q7 SF? If so, what kind of downrigger do you have and where and how did you mount it? Pictures would be awsome. Thanks!

I use atwood mini riggers on my 2001 Taho Q3 s/f had have so from day one. The last place I was able to get them was at Cabelas. Here is a pic of the rigger and rod holder as I use them for eye and striper.

Thanks |Paul, i cant see in your pics if they are a clamp on or did you drill and bold them into your gunnel?

I used atwood through hull rod holder rackets(plastic) and drilled n bolted them in place. Alson used ss bolts and silicone around the holes to seal it up.Them come with a flap that covers the hole the the down rigger go into. I have six,three on each side two in the back close together as in pic for rigger and pole. The other on up in the bow because the area in the stern in port and starboard sides are short ares with the windshield going back. This works great as I can hide everything when the family goes out to ski/boat around after I have been out fishing in the morning. Hope this helps,Paul
