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

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.

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?

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!! ;)

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...

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.
