Quick take
A 9 inch welded stainless gimbal mount that fits flush boat rod holders and eliminates permanent drilling.
This 9-inch gimbal mount drops into a boat's existing flush-mount rod holder, so a downrigger can be set up without drilling new holes or leaving a permanent bracket behind. It is built from welded stainless steel and nylon, and it fits Scotty downriggers. It is meant for heavy-duty factory-mounted gimbal holders, and a Scotty 1026 pedestal swivel mount can be added once a 1036 mounting plate is in place.
