At least get the brackets for the downriggers and you can add the actual units later if its a cost issue. If you save a little for electrics you will never regret it. I was all hot for my first set of downriggers and went for manuals, had them for years and they worked fine, then I got a new boat that already had electrics and boy I wish I had had some patience when I bought my first set.
