Lee's Sidewinder Bolt-In Outrigger Mounts, Lay-Down Version - Silver(Pair)

The Lee's Sidewinder Bolt-In Outrigger Mounts, Lay-Down Version in silver are purpose-built for serious anglers who deploy outriggers on larger center console, cabin, or sportfish vessels. These mounts solve a critical challenge: securing outrigger bases without drilling through your boat's rail or hardtop structure. The lay-down design allows the outrigger to rest flat when not in use, reducing wind resistance and protecting your gear during transit or rough seas. Whether you're targeting marlin, tuna, or wahoo, a reliable outrigger system extends your trolling spread and increases strike opportunity—making these mounts an essential upgrade for competitive or charter operations.

These bolt-in mounts feature heavy-duty stainless hardware and a reinforced aluminum construction that withstands saltwater corrosion and the constant stress of outrigger deployment. The Sidewinder mechanism uses a smooth, low-friction pivot system that allows quick transition from stowed to fishing position without requiring tools or extra crew assistance. The silver powder-coat finish resists oxidation and UV degradation, ensuring long-term durability in harsh marine environments. Installation requires only standard fasteners to your existing rail or gunwale structure—no welding or permanent modifications needed. The pair configuration provides balanced, symmetrical outrigger positioning across your vessel's beam, critical for maintaining proper line geometry and preventing torque-induced handling issues.

Experienced captains and tournament anglers choose the Lee's Sidewinder system for its reliability and ease of operation when deploying or retrieving multiple lines in demanding conditions. The lay-down version is especially valuable for vessels with tight overhead clearance, bridge architecture constraints, or frequent high-speed cruising where wind loading must be minimized. These mounts are compatible with standard Lee's outrigger bases and most universal outrigger pole configurations, making them an accessible retrofit for existing tackle systems. Installation takes roughly two hours per mount with basic hand tools and a level surface. For anyone running a serious trolling operation—whether offshore charter, private sportfish, or long-range commercial application—this pair delivers the structural integrity and functional design needed for dependable, season-long performance.
