Cannon Standard Mounting Base

The Cannon Standard Mounting Base is a heavy-duty platform engineered specifically for large-body electric Cannon downriggers, including the Magnum and Digi-Troll series. Constructed from reinforced Lexan, this mounting base delivers the structural integrity and UV resistance demanded by saltwater and freshwater trolling applications where equipment durability directly impacts your fishing success and long-term reliability on the water.

Lexan construction provides a proven balance of strength-to-weight performance, withstanding repeated mounting and adjustment cycles while remaining lightweight enough for easy installation and repositioning. The robust base design accommodates the mechanical demands of electric downrigger systems, which cycle through hundreds of lowering and raising sequences each season. Weighing just 0.95 lbs with compact dimensions (8 x 2 x 9 inches), the standard base integrates cleanly into most transom mounting configurations without adding significant bulk or compromising gunwale space—a critical consideration on smaller vessels where deck real estate is limited.

This base suits anglers running multiple downriggers for precision trolling operations targeting walleye, lake trout, pike, and other depth-sensitive species. Weekend fishermen benefit from straightforward setup and reliable performance; serious offshore and Great Lakes trollers appreciate the durable Lexan construction and proven compatibility with Cannon's downrigger ecosystem. For maximum corrosion protection in aggressive saltwater environments, Cannon offers an upgrade to 316-grade stainless steel construction, which eliminates pitting, rusting, and corrosion concerns in high-salinity conditions. The standard Lexan base remains the cost-effective choice for freshwater and moderate saltwater applications where UV resistance and structural durability are the primary performance drivers.
