Just bought the used outriggers from Bob. Now all I need to know is how to install them and how to use them!
By the way...The southern Groundhog (General Beauregard Lee) say`s early spring! The little Rodent better be right! Come on Spring!

Thanks, Rick / F-36 / MissKitty

All I can say is back them up with something....something large and strong.
Glue and screw the backing plates in place...

I had the same type you bought and they have cracked the gelcoat from the weight and movement.

Good for you.

I was going to buy them - it was a good deal. Just buff them up and they'll look great. I wasn't sure where I was going to mount them, as I already have this exact set on my F32 - somehow on my 26 .. but now I don't need to worry - and already have outrigger son both boats anyway.

Hey rossjo...Would you happen to have any pictures showing the mounting position and location of your outrigger setup?

Thanks, Rick

See if these help ... all taken on a -day cruise last Easter.

Did you get a backing plate? If not, make one for the inside to spread out the load. Aluminum or even a 1/2" or 3/4" Starboard plate ...

Ross...Great looking ride...Picture is worth a thousand words. Are you happy with that location and angle? If you were doing it again would you do anything different? Are those 20-footers?

Thanks, Rick / F-36 / MissKitty

Yes, they work great at that angle. I wouldn't change it.

They're 22' or 24' I believe.

Did you get the outrigger poles and spreaders, or just the Lee Jr. mounts?

Just the Lee Holders...I'm looking for the poles and spreaders. I had the mounts sent to a friend in Pensacola so he`s waiting for them to arrive. Waiting for the weather to break a little before we head back down to the boat. The trip from Virginia to Pensacola was a little rough on the ole girl. Lots to do and when I look at the list it seems over-whelming. So far we were able to pull up the old carpet and engine hatches in the salon. Went back with a little lighter and more user friendly hinged set-up for engine access. I guess we are going to go with a rubber backed indoor outdoor carpet in the salon. Also trying to decide weather to rebuild the 6.5 Onan or get a replacement.

Thanks, Rick / F-36 / MissKitty

I'll let you know if I run across a set.

On my F36 I mounted mine a little farther back pretty easy to do .
I also put more angle on them , not that it matters just a personal choice

Before you look for the poles you need to find the ID of the pipe on the out riggers . It looks like you have Lee Jrs or perkos ( both diffrtent IDs ) I thought I had lees but they turned out to be Perkos ( They look just like yours )

Yea Paul...I been looking at yours since I first came across the Trojan site.
Do you have any close-up of your set-up? Looks similar to Ross`s set-up except for further back and more angle on the dangle. Also...Where is the best place to go to find Trojan interior decor ideas for the wife?

thanks, Rick / F-36 / MissKitty

Rick what's wrong with the onan ? And as for the carpet replacement I'm redoing mine with allure flooring from HD seen it on other sites and we're going with that. And as for the wife getting ideals on putting her touches on the boat mine went online and looked at other boats and at RV's.

prowlersfish · Post by **prowlersfish** » Sun Feb 06, 2011 8:02 am

Rick send me your Email address and I will send you some close ups

As far as the angle "between twenty to thirty five degrees is normal."
thats from the lees site I can't tell you what angle mine are at as I did not messure it . Mounted the frist one by eye to what looked goog to me and matched the second one up . Mine I belive are 18 foot as that is the longest you can use with the perkos .

as far as interior ideas mine is box stock ugly , I need to replace the carpet and add new curtains . your most likely looks better in side
