16Ft 6in powered by Minn Kota
The outriggers keep the top side pointing at the sky.
No problems standing to cast in this one
On the Brunswick River, Brunswick Heads, NSW, Australia
I made new quick fit and release fittings for the outriggers. They used to be held on with U bolts. That meant doing up 8 wingnuts. It was a bit slow and rough on the fingers. Now it is fastened on in less that a minute.
The bolts going through the pipe aren't holding anything down, they just pass through holes in the metal mounting plate to correctly locate the outriggers and to stop fore & aft and side to side movement.
This shows how stable the canoe is. Try sitting like this in a canoe without outriggers. The outriggers only go as deep as is needed at the time. I can actually stand with one foot in the canoe and the other on the outrigger.
(Have never tried standing on the outrigger alone properly as I keep falling of)
