Will It Work

[msbhammer]

Ok guys, getting a small amount of change back from Uncle Sam. Before I buy this and make another mistake like I did with my bow lights, I want to make sure that this will work. So will it ??? Good points, bad points, dont buy it and just go out and get a Bayliner or what. ;D

Looks like it will suit your needs diving and all. For me it's more crap to hang on the boat. I've removed bowrail and other "unnecessary" crap on mine.

[macojoe]

Looks good, whats the leanth? You don't want it to short, you like it to go back on the puplit some for better levrage on the bow.

See thats what I wish I had got a Launcher style, But I didn't know that they had them till some one here posted a pic.

But be careful to get the right one!! Don't get the roller for the rear of the boat, make sure they have and you get the front rolling type!!!!!!!!!!

[Airslot]

Hammer, stop it, your getting me all worked up. *I've got the money sitting on my desk for this next project. ;)

I love that roller, but does anybody sell it in the USA? Who makes it. I can't find any info on it other than EBAY, west coast of Cananda...

[reelapeelin]

As long as your anchor SHAFT will fit between the front roller and the horizontal pin above the roller, that looks like it'll work great...looks well made...you'll still have to feed chain, rope over back roller as it plays out, but that's no big deal...will you use a chain tensioner or bungee to keep anchor in stored position?...bungee (good ones and keep an eye on those) is fine IMO ;) 8) ...

Took picture of choc Krispy Kremes and hot coffee for ya this mornin', only to find new drive disallowed... :P ...

...and I don't consider those lights a mistake...may notta been zackly what ya had in mind, but they'll look/work good where ya pictured 'em last nite
;) 8) ...

[macojoe]

Just make sure you get the front roller type not the rear!!! :o

[msbhammer]

Dont be surprised if I put you guys to work over the weekend when you guys stop by for the weekend in June. ;D

Air, spoke to the guy who has the starboard, says for another 10 or 15 bucks, he will cut and finish the sides.
Not too bad at all on prices.

[Airslot]

Check you pm's Hammer...

[msbhammer]

Hey Airslot, here's another one, but longer. This is 20" long. 100 bucks. That is with shipping . Not sure whats better, the longer one or sjorter one. Thinking the shorter one might be better since the pulpit is only 22 3/4" long. Going with the longer roller only gives you a few inches of play to have room for the chain tension clamp. Unless you exstend the anchor roller farther out over the edge of the pulpit. Any input *???

[Airslot]

I'm trying to find measurements on the other one now.

I'm also trying to get out on the V at 3 ;D

[msbhammer]

The other one "here" only measures at 12 3/4.

[Airslot]

12 3/4" long X 3 3/4" wide. I think it would work fine. I really do like the self launching idea. Who knows?

[msbhammer]

Yeah, I think I like the shorter one as wel also.

[Airslot]

OK, after looking at a bunch of the "self launchers", none of them have that much material on the pulpit, because of how they hinge. Looks to me like the longer model just sticks out further, off the pulpit. Who knows?

[msbhammer]

Airslot, if we get these, we cant have them lying around when M.J. comes down in June. I'd say double bolt everything. ;D

[Airslot]

When Hammer, not if ;D

[macojoe]

Mine is triple bolted!! ;)

I am going to steal them lights if they are hanging around for sure!!
And you not going to know till i am gone! You will be blue lights trying to get me before the border!! ;)

[phatdaddy]

i don't understand what the "self-launching" feature is? *you just undo the tension and the weight of the anchor tips the roller down? *i just have a roller and when launching, i just unwrap off cleat & push anchor off. *i think you are going to have to push the anchor off this setup also..

i think longer is better the amount hanging over the edge of the pulpit will be the same, but the longer channel will allow it to tie into the starboard and the deck of the boat. the shorter one looks to me to be for a set up with no pulpit, just bolted to the deck...

[msbhammer]

Damm Phatts, you sound like my wifey when saying
"Longer is Better" :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :P ;D

[Airslot]

But, if tou look at the self launching models, longer doesn't appear to be better. The "channel" is off the end of the pulpit.

[msbhammer]

Yo Air. Check your PM's. ;D

[Airslot]

YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwww ;D

[msbhammer]

Top Secret package to be mailed out on Tue. Air. Shhhh.
;D

[Airslot]

Sir, yes Sir. Top secret it is, besides, the blue ointment is nobodys else;s business....ooopps :o

[msbhammer]

LOL. ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Airslot]

And Hammer, you really owe Turbo a visit on his thread. It can be found in a section that you don't frequent ;)

[msbhammer]

Hmmmm ??? ??? ??? Must be the fishing section ??
I'll take a look see. ;)

[phatdaddy]

air i see what you mean, the part that bolts is the part that counts.
finally shorter is better

[msbhammer]

That what I keep tellin the wifey, Shorter is better. ;D :o

[msbhammer]

Yo AIR, other top secret package was ordered today. All 32 pounds of it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Airslot]

WooooooooooooooooooHHHHHOoooooooooooooooooooo ;D

[msbhammer]

Hey AIR, one of our two packages Just arrived at my door step minutes ago. Off to the neck doctor. SHould I post a pic. ?? 8) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) :P

[parishht]

[msbhammer]

AIRSLOT, we have twins.

[msbhammer]

1 1/2 thick too. Heavy as hell.

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f153/msbhammer/DSC02519.jpg

[parishht]

Nice, that is going to look good on your V.

Just an idea, mount it to the keel right at the sharks teeth
and it will look like the V is sticking it's tongue out. ;) ;) ;D

[Airslot]

Oops, disregard the P_Mail where I gave you he!! for not posting pics ;D I'm so excited, I'd drive up and get er now, but then I'd have to come back, well you know, in case there was a second package or something ;D

[msbhammer]

Glad you like, just need the other pieces of the puzzel now. ;D

[macojoe]

Wow what have I started?? thats what 4 + mine all Starboard now.
I knew I should have gotten a patent!!

[msbhammer]

Warner had his for some time, did he mount it yet. If so....PICS ?? You cant beat the price for what he sold them for either. 58 bucks I think and thats with rounding the corners and cutting. Just hope the bolts dont cost as much as what Stinky had put out for his bracket. :-/
Still need a bottom plate, but Air is look ing around.

[turbinedoctor]

Mini diving boards ???

Tomb Stones :o

Did MJ kick the bucket and nobody invite me to the party.

[Airslot]

Turbo's right. they could be either a bow mounted spring board, or a tombstone, hmmmmmmm wifey don't know yet......hope she's not looking into W.E.T. :o

[turbinedoctor]

W.E.T. ???

[Airslot]

Dam Turbo, if you can't figure W.E.T. out by morning, I'll personally revoke your GOD status, even though I don't have the power to do so ;D
