[pete/ny]

I need alittle help please. I just bought a boat that has 2 Cannon swivel mounts already mounted.I have found 2 like new Big Jon manual downriggers.Question is- will these Big Jon riggers fit onto these Cannon swivel bases? Thanks in advance.

[pete/ny]

Thanks. Got the question answered. They will NOT work.

You may be able to make an adaptor plate that will interface the two together.

You can make an adapter plate, I did to mount my Big Jon HD rod holders to the Cannon swivels. The BJ riggers will bolt up just the same. Shoot me a PM if you would like to see a picture.

Drill and tap new holes. Some on the cannon swivel bases had holes for other riggers , so there were lots of extra holes. These are on E-Bay
