Phil; I have run downriggers for years. Skip is right ,don't put it too far forward as the cable can get caught. With only one, do yourself a BIG favor and get the Rodholder mount that fits into the gunnel rodholders. Also get a swivel base. You will have all the options covered and NO HOLES. Mine are located in the two rear, corner mounts. When I don't want them. I just pull em' out and stow em' away! Also, if you haven't allready done so, get a HEAVY ball. I use the "pancake" style, salt water weights. They are shaped like a "Frisbee" and track deep and straight. There is a lot of drag when you pull umbrellas and you want your cable to be as verticle as possible.
Hope this helps you out.
