HuntNY:
I have the same bracket for my Lund 1700, and it works well for my manual downriggers. I also have the brackets for easy removal of the downriggers when they are not in use.
I have had my Lund for 2 years and I love it.
I have a trip planned in your neck of the woods in two weeks with my son. We go out there a couple times a year and stay along the Little Salmon River, eat at the Eis House, and fish Oneida Lake. This year we are going to try our hand at trolling for salmon. I was hoping that Little Jon guy could point us in the right direction.
Maybe I'll run into you out there...
