| Ok I still need some help. I set the scotty swivel mount on the gunnel and it looks like if I were to simply drill the holes where they have them in the mounting plate I would be either in or right up next to both of the inside walls of the gunnel. There wouldn't be room for a washer let alone a nut. I purchased the 1101 30" boom model. Any insight on how to fasten these down would be great. |

I mounted my Cannon swivel base not on the gunwhale but on the forward edge of the port lazarette. Two of the mounting bolts go through the top of the lazarette. The other two, which overhang the edge of the lazarette, are bolted to a big-ass chunk of SS angle which in turn is bolted through the front face of the lazarette with a SS backer plate. It's solid as the rock. You could do the same on the gunwhale which would allow you to get at least two bolts in the middle.

I had the same problem on my palmer with the scotty bases, thats why I went with the offshore mounts in the first place, but it should fit somehow, I know Tom on the Susan E has the scotty swivel bases. I'll be mounting my riggers this week or nextas well, When done I will post a pic of the bases I use.

Flapbreaker,
Unless they have changed the width of the gunwale since 2002 it will fit. I made a cardboard template to exactly locate the mounting holes and then put it under the gunwale to check where the holes will come through. A little careful measuring should locate it right.

Just thought I would update my "issue". Well it would appear that in my initial haste I didn't notice that the mounting plates hole patern is a rectangle and not a square like the base so I figured out today if I just rotate the mounting plate 90 degrees the holes will fit the gunnel  Thanks for all your help. Someday I'll have something to contribute.  |
