Hope these help out, they're all pretty comprehensive (i.e., LONG), but we wanted to capture things step-by-step.  We filmed an Intro to Downriggers on the water yesterday, I'll post that link up later this week.

Tight lines,

great video of all the install!!

I used the ram ball holder with the downrigger and notice it would slip. Since installing the h-rail in front, its rock solid!

I also installed the h-rail on the right so I can install the downrigger as well, so far its been great however putting the nut and washer was a pain in the butt lol

I still need to replace the steel cable from the DR to braid. I'm looking forward to your DR on the water video :)

Glad you guys are finding them useful! We'll have that on-the-water downrigger clip up soon, and will work on the LED lighting vid next, then a PowerPole install video.
