Will It Work
 

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.

Re: Will It Work
 

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!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Will It Work
 

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...

Re: Will It Work
 

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) ...

Re: Will It Work
 

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

Re: Will It Work
 

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.

Re: Will It Work
 

Check you pm's Hammer...

Re: Will It Work
 

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 *???

Re: Will It Work
 

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

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

Re: Will It Work
 

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

Re: Will It Work
 

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?

Re: Will It Work
 

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

Re: Will It Work
 

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?

Re: Will It Work
 

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

Re: Will It Work
 

When Hammer, not if ;D

Re: Will It Work
 

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!! ;)

Re: Will It Work
 

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...

Re: Will It Work
 

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

Re: Will It Work
 

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.

Re: Will It Work
 

Yo Air. Check your PM's. ;D

Re: Will It Work
 

YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwww ;D

Re: Will It Work

Re: Will It Work

Re: Will It Work

Re: Will It Work

finally shorter is better

Re: Will It Work
 

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

Re: Will It Work

Re: Will It Work
 

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

Re: Will It Work
 

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

Re: Will It Work
 

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

Re: Will It Work
 

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

Re: Will It Work
 

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.
