Wanted wtb penn swivel mounts

[geezer]

Got a good deal on 2 penn 800 fathom master 4' electric down riggers. Got the stationary mounts, but since I will be fishing mostly alone I think I will need to be able to move booms quickly when landing fish. The swivels I've seen on eBay are big bucks. Anybody got a pair to sell reasonably or an idea on how to make/adapt something else?

take a kid fishing with you

[geezer]

Gee...thanks for the wise guy come back. Do you know me or my circumstances? Did you watch three retirement plans go down the toilet? Can you live on social security ? Do you know how many/few kids I have access to, where my grand kids live in relation to where I live? You assume much and have no basis for doing so. This is the first time I have been really let down on this site. If you got nothin good to say...shut your pie hole.

I don't have any to sell but just a FYI some of the penn swivel bases only swivel but do not lock into place

[Todd in NY]

There are 3 types of swivel bases.

1. Ones that swivel 180 degrees lock to lock

2. Ones that swivel with only maybe 6 licking positions, 180 degrees maybe. I'm guessing because I have only seen pictures of them.

3. Ones that swivel 360 degrees and can lock in 36 different positions (622 ASM, I think).

Ebay prices are ridiculous. Be patient and some will become available.

Do Penns have the same bolt pattern as Big Jon?
