Quick take
A 6-inch plastic riser that elevates a downrigger for improved sightlines on trolling boats.
The Scotty 2606 is a 6-inch pedestal riser that raises a downrigger above the gunwale. It suits trolling boats with low sides or rail obstructions that get in the way of the rig. The base plate measures 5.5 by 5.5 inches with a 4.5 by 3.5 inch bolt pattern, so check it against your mount before drilling.
