Ever notice your outrigger poles whipping while they are topped for running in choppy water? This can be a real problem with light duty slide together outriggers. Here is an easy way to minimize this problem. [/B]<o

></o

>[/B]Make up a short lanyard of Parachute cord with a snap swivel on each end. The length of the lanyard should be a little less than the distance between the outrigger bases. Snap the snaps around the rigger halyards above the pins and raise the pins about ¾ up the poles. This drastically reduces the poles motion, relieving stress on the poles, mounts and gunwales.[/B]<o

I can't afford Viagra so I use Spray Starch or a popsicle stick and duct tape.
