Looking to get outrigger installed in Atlantic Highlands.....

Northern Ivy · 09-20-2008, 04:14 PM

So after having the boat for a little over a year we are going to have outriggers and and a center rigger installed on our Coastal 330. I am thinking of lee 20' riggers but I would like to have someone other than me do the install.

Can anyone recommend someone to do this work? I have not purchased the riggers yet so I would fine with buying through the installer.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I am the least handy guy I know but since you aren't getting any love from anybody else, I'll give you my opinion. I bought a set of single spreader Rupps at the Miami boat show. I opened the box at the yard the day my new boat was delivered. I put them together following the instructions in the box and had no problems. I had photographed a number of installs I thought were good so I had a good idea of what I wanted. To be sure I had it right, I walked the dock to see if I saw something that I thought was better. The trickiest part was making sure that the back bar was the right length so that my riggers were parallel to my tower supports when in the stowed position. Doing it yourself gives you a chance to put a little vaseline in those spots you will never see again and give it a good coat of Alumagard before you put it together. You might even use the money you save by doing it yourself on upgrading your riggers.
If you really want somebody else to install them, I'd call Lee and see who they recommend.

I'll second the self install. I installed double spreader Rupps on my boat because I could not find anyone willing to install them in a reasonable time.

It is pretty easy to do. Just take your time laying out the riggers before you drill holes.
