Looks like you need to cut away part of the dual rod holder base in order to get it to fit on a Berts swivel base or even a traxstech swivel base. Dont want to use the Scotty swivel base that came with it because its so tall.

Has anyone found a "Fix" for this without cutting the rod holder base? Spent big money and the last thing wanted is to cut the thing.

Seems like someone should make a 1 inch adapter plate to fix this. 

 

Ideas are welcome.

Are the Berts or traxtech bases that much shorter? Ask duke, his are on Berts bases.

Iron duke..chime in!

I ran into the same problem and I made a spacer plate out of trex deck material.  You could probably use awood spacer.

After speaking with Gord at Scotty, I think there is an answer. It involves taking the top plate off of the Scotty swivel base and flipping it over and mounting it to the Berts swivel base. The rigger can then be mounted on that upside down Scotty plate. It looks like the holes line up or come close to lining up where some slight over sizing of existing holes on the Scotty plate will work.
