What is the difference between the standard rails and large rails? How can we tell which ones we have? We have a large pontoon boat.

I bought this for my dad they have a 46foot boat and it fit. Im not sure, sorry,Stacey

I have a teak railing around the stern which requires the large size. Otherwise the smaller size fits most stainless steel railings.

Air gauge won't work on these due to the twist valve. I just go by feel . You'll need to adjust depending on water temp and heat of sun. Its no problem though. I love my boat.very stable...quick set to set up and break down.. its awesone for floating the river. Although its not recommended in the instruction manual. I only recommend securing the seat because if it slides back while on the water its almost impossible to fix. And a non level boat is difficult to row. I promise you won't be disappointed.

I ordered a set of these for my 16' Lund...it has 1 & 1/2" rails (across the top). The clamps open to max 1 & 7/8" and measure 3 inches wide (from bow to stern) and seem to work just fine. You must clamp them down hard since they seem to tip when catching large fish but definitely won't come off the boat!

My boat has 6 "Scotty" mounts on the side rails and I have no problem moving my 4 "Scotty Power Lock Rod Holders" in and out of any of the holders. I'm pretty sure that they are manufacturer specific tho. Hope this helps!

Yes, I have rhino over the rails and all is good. Either way you should be fine.

The rail clips are designed to clip on/off the railing of your boat. We permanently attached them to our grill so that we can just pop it on and off. We love these attachments.

Hi Tom,I use this on a Suntracker 21 foot pontoon. I still have another foot and a half of depth I can go from where I use it now. It is a non-issue. Sincerely, Paul

It will probably depend on what size weight you use. The unit itself is not that heavy but I use a 6lb weight and find that I need a 10lb to get the line down further with less 'blowback'. You may need to reinforce the rail to use any downrigger on a pontoon boat.

We too have a wide heavy kayak...we tried rack but since our vehicle had unique existing roof bars, this unit wasn't ideal and we ended up going the more traditional folding J mounts.

Generally they will not fit over the rails on covers the same length and width as the boat. I have had a customer in your same situation and he ordered one about 2 ft longer and he was quite satisfied with the result.

These have quite universal clamps and open quite wide to clamp on the rails, you need to measure the width and see if these are what you want. We wanted wider then stock to give easier kayak loading and didn't care if they stuck out the sides. Under the product features it gives the rail size and location these will work with but if you still have concerns you could contact Discount Ramps but I would bet they'll just tell you what's on the listing. They're great rails, we use them a lot and easy to mount and remove.

We had the same question. We took a picture of both to a hardware store and they sold us the proper heavyduty bolts to use to secure the seat to the swivel. We attached the swivel first to the boat then attached the seat last.

Kenneth-I am using my drift anchors on a 16 foot boat. I am not sure what size you might need for a bigger boat. I would imagine it depends on the type of lake and conditions you encounter. I "googled" for information before I purchased mine so that might be a good source. Sorry I cannot be of more help.Bob Watson

They will move around if the only point of attachment is the straps over the railing. I positioned my fenders in front of the brackets that attach the pontoons to the bottom of the deck itself. After securing the straps at the top of the fenders, I looped rope through the side holes in the fenders, around the bracket on top of the pontoon, and snugged it down. The fenders will not move around or become dislodged with this extra attachment. IF the boat is not on the trailer you might have to get in the water to do this.

inches. and be aware that you will have to buy straps or C-clamps or whatever you would prefer to attach it to your rails. ( I was a little disappointed that these weren't included. But it IS sturdy and has been useful for us!) Just a little FYI. ;)

Hi Karen; I really can not answer your question, because I purchased mine for my pontoon boat, and it was too big. The dimensions listed were wrong.

I dont know what that is. Measure your boat from mounting points. It works great on our pontoon.
