Cannon Stainless Steel Mounting Base

The Cannon Stainless Steel Mounting Base is a premium downrigger mounting solution engineered for Magnum and Digi-Troll large-body electric downriggers. Built from 316-grade stainless steel, this base delivers unmatched corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments where standard materials fail. If you fish offshore or in coastal waters where rust and pitting compromise equipment longevity, this upgrade replaces the standard Lexan base with marine-grade protection that maintains its structural integrity season after season.

316-grade stainless steel outperforms 304-grade and standard steel in salt-air environments because it contains molybdenum, which forms a protective oxide layer resistant to chloride attack. The compact footprint (8 x 2 x 9 inches) and 3.5-pound weight integrate seamlessly with gunwale and transom mounting systems without adding significant deck load. The base's heavy-duty design stabilizes large downriggers during deployment and retrieval, critical when managing weighted cables under load in rough seas or strong currents.

This mounting base suits both weekend anglers targeting walleye and pike in inland lakes and serious offshore fishermen running multiple downriggers for salmon and halibut. It's the preferred upgrade for boats operating in high-corrosion environments—saltwater trolling, Great Lakes operations, and regions with winter salt spray. The Cannon Stainless Steel Mounting Base (MPN 1904045) represents a one-time investment that eliminates recurring maintenance, refinishing, and premature replacement cycles associated with non-stainless alternatives.
