Scotty #1021 Portable Bracket for Model 1050 & 1060 Downriggers | Non-Permanent Clamp-On Mount

The Scotty #1021 portable bracket offers a clamp-on mounting option that delivers a non-permanent setup for Scotty manual downriggers—especially Models 1050 and 1060. With this bracket, you can quickly attach the downrigger to a boat's gunnel or rail without making permanent fixtures, making it ideal for seasonal boats, rental fleets, or owners who rotate equipment between vessels and storage.

Overview and build

Built for durability, the bracket combines double stainless steel bolts with black anodized aluminum, giving a solid, rugged feel in hand. The 2" clamp opening is designed to grip standard gunnel rails securely without slippage, while its compact profile keeps the setup neat and unobtrusive when not in use. The design assumes use with the #1010 mounting bracket (not included), offering a modular approach to your downrigging system.

Thanks to its non-permanent design, you can move the same downrigger between boats, swap locations on a single vessel, or store the rig with minimal effort. The corrosion-resistant hardware helps maintain a clean look through seasons of spray, sun, and salt exposure.

Ideal uses and scenarios

It shines for aluminum boats and for owners who rotate gear between vessels, set up temporary configurations at the dock, or manage a club fleet that reuses equipment across seasons. The clamp-on approach means you can quickly deploy or stow your downriggers as needed, reducing downtime between trips and preserving deck space for other gear.

Care and storage

With the Scotty #1021, mounting a downrigger becomes a flexible choice rather than a fixed commitment—allowing you to tailor your setup to each trip and boat.
