Re: Project Seafari Tuna-fication
Bill - I have the Lee's outriggers with flush mount base similar to rodholders. They work well and appear to be a much cleaner installation than the Taco unit nestor showed, although you do have to drill about a 1.5" angled hole in gunnel and install backing plate underneath. They have notches in the base that lock them at 0, 45, and 90 degrees. My poles are KGS aluminum telescoping type and when stowed measure 6'10" including the chrome/brass holder. I mounted the base about where the bow rail comes down to the deck, which puts the ends of the poles about flush with transom. I angled the base so the poles lie between the vent scoops and cockpit coming when they're laid down.
