Apologize for the off topic question just under the gun to get my downriggers figured out on my newer boat so I can be posting some fishing reports and somewhat confused.
Have the right angle swivel mount bases on my downriggers that on my old boat just had two thumb bolts on the inside wall plate to release the downriggers. New boat just has just standard base plate mounted on the top of the gunnel and I was considering removing right angle option from downriggers but my old thumb bolts won't work on two levels... First as per the photo they appear too long and therefore just not enough room to get them into the base holes and they will be too long and bind up against the fiberglass gunnel before getting tight. These appear to be the standard 1 and 3/4 in thumb bolt and I can't find anywhere on Scotty's website anything shorter for this application?
Any thoughts?
And if I can find shorter thumb bolts is trying to put in four of these bolts on this horizontal base plate just going to be a recipe for lost thumb bolts over the side and going back to the right angle option with bolts inside the cockpit my best bet?
Thank you for your help and feel free to PM me if you want to spare others the distraction.

See a strong wind warning in effect till morning might hold back and err on the side of caution as taking my daughter out . Don’t want to ruin fishing for her like I did with my boy.
Report back the conditions if you don’t mind

Out near Roger Curtis this morning. Similar condition to yesterday morning: large swells coming down the straight with about 5knots of breeze.

Still big swells out in the straight at Roger Curtis. When trolling upwind bows get dipped occasionally.
Quite a few boats now but haven’t seen much action

Thanks for the update guess I’ll un hook the boat not worth taking my kid out in the swells.
