If it's an Ace Line Hauler, it can mount on a Scotty mount. Here's our set-up for the Ace.

I use an Ace line hauler with the same Scotty rail mount as Roger only with a piece of starboard in place of the wood.

Ace Linehauler on a Cannon swivel base, with a homemade aluminum adapter.

The pic is on a TomCat 24', but I moved it to the TC 255 Discovery. Its hard to see in he pic, but I made a 12" extension for the Linehauler arm. This allows use of larger diameter pots to not scrape the hull. It worked great last summer in the Broughtons.

thanks again guys, that #1027 rail mount looks like just the ticket.



Ace line hauler and brackets ordered ! 8)

Got the pot puller installed today, a few more adjustments to make, found evidence of more damage likely sustained during shipping . . .

there was a bent tab during shipping I guess, that required a screwdriver and bit of leverage to get it to fit. No biggie . . .

When I got to run it today I saw that the stainless steel main drive pulley was also bent, about 3/8ths of an inch runout, no biggie I guess but not right.

the 12v Marinco receptacle mounted in the engine/steering controls access panel . . .

pretty slick setup, of course the $20 optional wiring kit was about a foot too short to install how I wanted to . . .

Thanks for the help all.

And thanks for the comments regarding my conduct.

I will tone it down and be more cordial/sensitive.

Sorry if I have offended anyone and please feel free to edit/delete any of my posts.
