Thanks skunk...i am starting to get the picture now.

The single outrodder is the first pic in your post #26?

Do you suggest running these from holders closest to helm?

yes because the rod tip will be furthest out. When you are in a turn, its line will not cross the line of the rod that is straight back in the aft rodholder and both lines will stay outside the boat.

found a pik

The problem with this setup is that on a hookup the rigger rod line releases and comes dangerously close to the aft rod.
I can put that rod in the rodholder that is welded to the hardtop but we didn't want to mess with having a lanyard.

Skunk...why not run the transom rods straight back?
Would they get too close to each other?

Almost seems like the transom rods would be further out than the rods at mid gunnel with this setup?

Nice shot with the porpoise!

Hey skunk, picked up a pair of these; https://www.outriggerunlimited.com/
Should be just the ticket for a small boat!
