This year for my birthday my 1st and only mate gave me 15 foot telescoping Taco Outriggers. After some thought I installed them using gunnel mounts. It really adds a new dynamic to my spread for sure, in as much as I can control my baits and numbers of rods I can fish.

Here's my plan .... please chime in with ideas. I thought about fishing two rods per outrigger but decided to try one to see how it goes. On the trip to and from my offshore I plan to run with the outriggers collapsed.

Here are some pictures.

Running position ......





Plan A ...... teaser rods will be deployed one at a time .....







I've got some starboard wedges being cut when they come in I'll replace the PCV board ones.

Questions - have you or would you ever risk running a boat without testing your bilge pump?
Do you test your bilge pumps prior to getting under way?
Would you run a boat with a slow leak with a working bilge pump?]]> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:07:47 +0000 http://reelboating.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4909-sinking-boat/ http://reelboating.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4906-wheres-wiley/ http://www.comcast.net/video/caught-on-tape-sinking-yacht/1552146198/Comcast/1551864505/

Not to good for the owners of the boat!!!

While I was at Marco Island a couple of weeks ago I installed my new Lowrance Sirius Satellite Weather Module --

which overlays satellite weather radar data onto the HDS-7 GPS chartplotter, which is also new to me--

http://www.lowrance.com/Products/Marine/....S-Chartplotter/


This is really an awesome system. The HDS-7 itself is really cool, very user friendly with good charts already installed, but adding the weather module gives you a ton of additional info which is very useful such as wind speed & direction, water temps AND weather radar.

The weather radar shows T-storms with an icon that also has an arrow showing the direction it is moving.

Allows you to set alarms for T-Storms and lightning. Had mine set at 6 miles and it worked great--especially when the forecast calls for dodging thunderstorms every day.

A lot of you guys probably already have a newer system similar to this on your boats, however I had not bought any new marine electronics in a LONG time, and all I can say is......WOW!]]> Sun, 25 Jul 2010 11:55:06 +0000 http://reelboating.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4895-lowrance-sirius-satellite-weather-module/ http://reelboating.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4891-garmin-colorado-400c-gps/ Sat, 24 Jul 2010 01:48:54 +0000 http://reelboating.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4891-garmin-colorado-400c-gps/ http://reelboating.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4890-world-cat-and-glacier-bay/ Now that WC owns GB.. what is the difference in quality.. Did anything change in some of the tooling on the GB..meaning have the boats gone over a big redesign..small bottom changes or blueprinting..stuff like that or are they the same with WC behind them.. I understand that one is a semi and the other a displacement.. but what gives.. Thanks Guys..
