Finally replacing the Cannon downrigger with a Scotty but the Scotty base plate is slightly larger and it won't fit between the trim running down both sides of the gunnel on my 19' Smokercraft Ultima. I can place it equally over both trim but then have a small gap under the plate with all the pressure on the trim or go to the inside so it's just on the one trim? If I go to the outside I'll be over the lip mounting the outside screws through that lip exposing it on the underside on the outside of the boat?
Also how the heck do you get inside the gunnel to place the piece of backing?
I hate the fact there's already 8 holes in it from the Cannon and now I have to add more. If I use two of the existing ones I have to go either on the inside of the trim or the outside trim but at least it's less holes.
Thanks for any advice.
