Decided due to the holiday weekend and less than favorable conditions to stay at the dock and get some work done on the boat and of course some adult beverages and plenty of snacks and food that accompany bad weather on our dock.

I installed three new rod holders.  One just off center in the transom, would have liked it to be in the center but could not due to the transom fish-box.  The other two were installed foreword up near the pilothouse.  These will be great for the rigger rods.

Also installed the outriggers I picked up last fall.  They got installed on the aft part of the pilothouse roof.  The poles are collapsible so the poles can be installed and the angle of deployment can all be adjusted while standing in the cockpit, despite them being top mounts.  I really like the placement, you don’t have to climb up on the gunwales to deploy them which is great on a narrow beam boat.

The only thing left is to get new release clips and re-rig the lines and I will be all set for trolling this fall.  Can’t wait!  Now all we need is some decent weather for a change.
