need help to install down rigger

[2knots]

With the boxes you have on the inside ( based on pics of your type of boat)you could have some heavy Alum or SS pieces bent similar to the pic that could be attached to the gunnels and the top or side of the boxes using a backing plate on the backside. Pedestals are also an option but my experience with them is they can apply a lot of torque where they are fastened so it needs to have a very solid mounting surface. Go with electric you will be much happier in the long run
