Slowly starting the rigging process for my Outback and want to give thanks to Echo5ocscar, Goody, and Dave FX35 for their help along the way. I just installed my FF past the right hand side forward rod holder, very please with the location.
I found an awesome pvc trolling set up from the archives, it was a photo provided my Reelaxin10. I like the set up and might tweak the design. Anyway, my question is: does anyone keep their gunnels completely open? I like having these cubbies for quick lure changes and bags of plastics.
I see most outback rigging with ram mounts or scotty bases inside the cubbies, but with my PVC outriggers for trolling I don't see much off a need for them....especially without a paddle being in my hand. It's amazing how easy it is to spin around and access everything behind the seat. I have confidence I will quickly be able to swing around and grab a trolling rod with a "FISH ON". I can always stash my rod in the "sub-par" rod holders temporarily that hobie provided in the mold. I might put an anchor cleat in a cubby, not sure yet.
I like the feeling of the open cockpit...I know everyone has their on flavor of rigging, just looking for comments or advice.
