Cannon Clamp Mount

Upgrade your trolling setup with a reliable mounting solution designed for serious anglers. This clamp mount grips securely onto your boat's gunwale or transom, keeping your downrigger steady through rough waters and long days on the lake. Crafted for compatibility with popular Cannon models, it delivers the durability and ease you need without drilling or permanent modifications.

Why Anglers Trust This Clamp Mount for Downriggers

Fishing from a smaller vessel or wanting quick setup and takedown? This mount shines in those scenarios. Its 2-inch clamp opening fits most standard gunwales, while the heavy-duty coarse-thread screw and comfortable hand knob make adjustments a breeze—even with gloves on. No more wrestling with flimsy brackets that slip under load.

Made from precision-machined aluminum and finished with a tough powder coat, it stands up to saltwater spray, freshwater splashes, and constant exposure to the elements. Anglers report using it season after season on everything from aluminum fishing boats to pontoons, praising its rock-solid hold during heavy trolling runs.

Key Advantages Over Traditional Mounts

• Portability First: Clamp on and off in seconds, ideal for multi-boat owners or trailered setups.
• Versatile Positioning: Mount on either side or the transom to optimize lure deployment and avoid propeller interference.
• Low-Profile Design: Keeps your deck clear for casting, fighting fish, or stowing gear.
• Proven Compatibility: Seamless fit with Lake-Troll, Sport-Troll, Legacy Easi-Troll, and Mini-Mag downriggers—no adapters required.

Installation Tips for Peak Performance

Getting it right the first time maximizes stability. Position the clamp so the downrigger arm extends away from high-traffic areas. Tighten the knob firmly but avoid over-torquing to prevent denting thin gunwales. For transom use, align it parallel to the waterline to reduce vibration. Test with a light load before your big trip—many users add a rubber pad inside the jaws for extra grip on varnished wood.

Pair it with braided cable for smoother releases, and always check tension after a few hours of trolling. This simple step prevents unexpected releases mid-fight.

Maintenance for Long-Term Reliability

Rinse with fresh water after every saltwater outing to flush away corrosive salts. Inspect the screw threads seasonally for wear, and apply a marine-grade grease if needed. The powder coat handles UV exposure well, but touch up any chips promptly with matching aluminum paint. With basic care, it outlasts cheaper plastic alternatives by years.
