I had my base originally mounted to my bow deck, but the advantages to getting a higher pull point is a wider spread. It helps to mitigate the seas. As far as reachability, just attached a cleat line with a glass ring. Hope this helps your install. I typically use inline boards for walleye but I am planning on trying weighted steel line for Lake O and salmon fishing. The beauty of my set up is it is not permanent and very versatile.

It has a seat base on the post, which allows me to screw it to the wood deck. 

Hi everyone. 
I am new to LOU, and I would like to share my mast and rod storage solution. I mounted my mast base plate to a wood deck on a seat post. Additionally I added two 4 tube rod holders to it. I am fishing out of a G3 Outfitter. It is a small 17’6” boat, which I multi-species fish out of, so space and flexibility is key. I am looking forward to utilizing it this spring on my virgin attempt at fishing Lake O for salmon.
