Scotty 1028 9" Gimbal Mount for Downriggers
Mount your Scotty downrigger with confidence. The 1028 Gimbal Mount provides a solid, adjustable base that lets you position your downrigger at the optimal angle for your boat's gunwale or transom — keeping the boom level and your line running true, even on uneven mounting surfaces.
At 9" in length, this gimbal-style mount offers more reach and flexibility than standard flat mounts, making it a popular choice for boats where the mounting surface isn't perfectly horizontal. Built to Scotty's marine-grade standards, it's designed to handle the torque and vibration of a working downrigger season after season.

Parts Desk Insights
The 1028 is the right call when a standard flat mount won't work — particularly on boats with a pronounced gunwale flare or a sloped transom. The gimbal design compensates for the angle so your downrigger sits plumb and operates smoothly. If you're also looking to add tilt-up capability, pair it with the Scotty 1023 Tilt-Up Mounting Bracket for a complete, deck-friendly setup.
