Re: outrigger installation???????

What kind of layout is the boat? Cabin? Flying bridge? Do the sides of the radar arch come close to the gunwales? <br />Most boats of this size have a cabin and the outriggers are usually mounted to sides of the cabin. Remember the purpose of the outrigger is to get separation of the lines. The further out the better, so you want to mount them as far out as possible. Outriggers that mount to the side of the cabin are not cheap though. But maybe you can find a used pair someplace. Try e-bay.
