I found the discussion below in the archives, I am in the process of mounting Cannon mag20's on my 692. I was hoping to hear from Whitetip or Quicksilver on specifics for mounting the deck plate... or anyone who has mounted this set-up in place of the step plate. I was considering using JB-WELD epoxy to secure two aluminum bars to the inside top under the step plate, then drill and tap for 1/4 20 1.5" bolts, then just bolt the deckplate down. Sounds good in theory, but am worried about things lining up, and the epoxy holding the bars while they are drilled and tapped.
Whitetip- where did you drill the access hole, in the deck plate or somewhere else?
Qicksilver- How did you mount your deckplate?

Robert,
I have two cannon downriggers on my 690 they work great. First you will need two 6 inch cannon pedastals and swivel bases. Remove the rear step plates and mount the pedastals here. I used bolts to mount the bases, you will need some long arms to reach the bolts or a hole saw to cut an access.I hope this helps.

I have 692 and have mine mounted like Whitetip. I removed the step plates on each side, mounted Cannon deck plates, then mounted the Cannon pedestals to the deck plates with the thumb-wheel type bolts. That way, I can easily remove the pedestals if I want them out of the way. It's a neat looking mount. I have a buddy with a 690 who uses the same scheme.
