Cannon Aluminum Fixed Base Downrigger Pedestal - 4"

Upgrade your boat's trolling setup with a reliable foundation that stands up to the rigors of serious fishing. This 4-inch aluminum fixed base downrigger pedestal delivers rock-solid stability, letting you deploy and retrieve lines with confidence, no matter how rough the waters get. Anglers who spend hours chasing walleye, salmon, or stripers know the value of a mount that won't wobble or shift— this pedestal ensures your downrigger stays precisely positioned for those perfect depth presentations.

Built for Lasting Performance on the Water

Crafted from premium marine-grade aluminum, this pedestal resists corrosion from saltwater spray and freshwater splashes alike. Its fixed base design provides a low-profile, vibration-free platform ideal for smaller boats or tight deck spaces. Whether you're rigging up for a dawn patrol or a full-day charter, the pre-drilled and tapped top plate makes setup straightforward, saving you time at the dock.

Key Advantages for Everyday Anglers

• Unmatched Stability: The 4-inch height keeps your downrigger low and secure, minimizing sway during high-speed trolling or in choppy conditions.
• Versatile Mounting Options: Secure it directly to your boat's deck surface or slide it into standard track systems for quick adjustments and removal.
• Broad Compatibility: Engineered to pair seamlessly with Cannon swivel bases and downriggers, while accommodating popular brands like Scotty, Offshore, or Big Jon—check your swivel base bolt pattern for a perfect fit.
• Lightweight Yet Tough: Aluminum construction shaves weight off your setup without sacrificing strength, making it easier to handle during long outings.

Effortless Installation Tips

Getting this pedestal ready for action takes minutes. Start by selecting your mount location—ensure it's clear of foot traffic and wiring. For surface mounting, use stainless steel bolts (not included) through the base holes into your deck. Track mounting? Just clamp or bolt it into your existing rail system. The tapped top plate accepts standard 1/4-20 or M6 bolts for your swivel base. Pro tip: Apply marine sealant around bolt holes to prevent leaks and extend deck life. Once mounted, test with a light load to confirm alignment before going full throttle.

Why It Outshines Standard Mounts

Unlike flimsy plastic alternatives, this aluminum pedestal handles the torque of heavy weights and repeated cranking without flexing. It's a favorite among Great Lakes guides and offshore enthusiasts for its no-fuss reliability—deploy multiple downriggers without deck clutter. Over time, it maintains its finish better than powder-coated options, reducing maintenance headaches and keeping your gear looking sharp.

Caring for Your Investment

Rinse with fresh water after every saltwater trip to flush away salt buildup. Inspect bolts seasonally and tighten as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners; a soft brush and mild soap suffice. With proper care, it'll support countless seasons of productive trolling.
