Outriggers New Installation Need Help - 02/21/09 02:19 PM
Hi Guys;
I have not posted in a while. I was near selling my boat this year and moving up but in uncertain times I decided to just upgrade instead. This year I added a Mercury 9.9 Kicker motor starboard of my Verado 250 and a Pair of Taco Outriggers model 270.
Outrigger installation is complete and was a bugger because Wes at Westlake with help from Ivan from Phil Dill had to unbolt and lift the hardtop to mount the outrigger mounts.
But here is the reason for my post.
I have rigged my poles correctly and am unsure how to tune my rigging, where to secure my shock cord, whether or not to use a tagline with return, etc. I am using Rupp NOK OUTS and double Hal-Locks on each rigger.
I AM ASKING FOR SOMEONE WITH EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE TO HELP ME TUNE MY OUTRIGGERS. I AM WILLING TO PAY A NICE GRATUITY IF NECESSARY FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS ON THE LAKE (Lewisville) WITH AN EXPERIENCED OUTRIGGER FISHERMAN TO SHOW ME SOME OF THE ROPES. PLEASE PM ME OR GIVE ME A CALL AT 940-206-2642. I AM THINKING SOMEONE LIKE ZEKE OR ANOTHER EXPERIENCED OFFSHORE GUY.
THANKS PLEASE REPLY!
