Following up Old Deckhand, it seems like 99% of the recreational downriggers on the BC coast and Puget Sound are Scottys, and it seems like 99% of those are electric.
Fisheries Supply in Ballard, Seattle Marine at the Fishermen's Terminal, Trotac in Victoria, Harbour Chandlery in Nanaimo... the only downriggers they carry are Scotty.

I also would like to figure out a good alternate mount, so I don't have to drill into the teak on the gunnels under the rails.

We have mahogany caprails on our boat and went with the Scotty 1025 side gunnel mount to avoid drilling them. Works great.
Adding: for manual downriggers, try Seattle craigslist. Folks upgrading to electric will almost give them away.
