Would like it to fold down when not in use in front of the bow rails. I have heard you can mount it on a slide that will allow this to occur. The question is how long of a slide should I be looking for. 2 feet, 3 feet, 4 feet,?. Any advice as welcome photos would be helpful. Thank you all.

I prefer the longer 3-4' track to allow two deployed positions and ability to stow in front of the bow rail or in the stern. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
