UTRIGGERS
The optional outriggers spread the fishing lines being trolled from your boat and decrease the
chance of entanglement.
• Advantages
Advantages of outriggers include offering bait throughout a larger area behind the boat,
placing bait out of the wake zone, automatic drop back following strikes (which allows for
fish to completely accept bait), and a reduction in unnecessary twisting action characteristic of
artificial bait.
• Instructions
For installation and use, reference the sheet included in your Owner’s Packet.
• Care And Maintenance
- Outriggers should be washed with fresh water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Never use abra-
sive cleaners on outriggers.
- A periodic waxing is suggested if your outriggers are exposed to salt water. The wax will
provide a protective coating and seal the pores of the metal. A non-abrasive high quality
marine or automotive wax is recommended. Before storage, clean and wax the outriggers.
- During assembly, grease all threads, bolts, and tubes where one section is inserted into
another. Disassemble and regrease all applicable surfaces on an annual basis.
