Outrigger question

[FraJul]

I just added Lee Jr's to my Grady 265 with Lee 18' poles model 3519. My question is the poles rub on the hard top. What can I do to improve on this.
Thanks, Frank

My 265 has two hooks on the top to hold the riggers in place when up - I can send a photo if needed.

That would be helpful....thanks

Eppem, I found a rubber clamp at West Marine called Fist. I think it will work well. Thank you for the offer to photograph your set up but I should be all set

I have the same boat and same outrigger setup. The hooks will chafe the poles pretty bad over time. I took a wash rag and placed between the pole and hook and apply tension with a bungee cord on the long runs to the stream. Not the greatest fix but effective.

Get some plastic tubing from a home improvement store and push onto the hook. I works great to keep the poles from chafing.

That solution is one of those fixes that make you wonder, why didn't I think of that. Heading to Lowes tomorrow.
