Lovetofish is the only one who got the question and that is a good idea.

Thanks for the comments about scotty's quality, but.....

If anyone has made custom swivel mounts or has the perfect setup due to customization, Id love to see photos.

If you never take your downrigger off and have never noticed that the thumbscrews fall out, dont answer. If you never leave your boat where someone will rip your downriggers or the swivel mounts off, dont answer.

I know theres a lot of experience within this group, just trying to tap into it as I make the mounts and finalize my boat.

Thanks,

Dave

Scotty makes a lock kit for the swivel mount and the pivot bolt-problem solved.
