Quick take

A rigid stainless steel riser that lifts a downrigger 12 inches above the gunwale, compatible with all Scotty mounts.

The Scotty 2612 is a 12-inch pedestal riser that raises a downrigger higher off its mount. It pairs a fiber-reinforced nylon base with stainless steel tubing and bolts on with a 4.5 by 3.5 inch pattern. Trolling anglers pick it when a low gunwale or rail would otherwise get in the way of the downrigger.

Best for

Boats where a downrigger needs to clear the rail or cabin
Anglers who troll for walleye, pike or salmon
Any Scotty downrigger mounting system

Skip if

You are mounting a riser to a small center-console boat
Your boat already has built-in trolling structure

Strengths

Heavy-duty stainless construction resists corrosion and lasts
The 12-inch rise clears most obstructions on boat tops
Works with the entire Scotty mounting line

Trade-offs

Installation requires bolting to the boat; not portable
The height raises your downrigger's center of gravity slightly
Adds weight and changes the boat profile
