Outrigger question
All right Ya'll, I have another question. Getting ready to rig my riggers. What is the best thing to connect the ring to the boat. I've seen people use bungee cords and various type of ropes, but what is the bestest, easiest thing to use?

Hole in the gunwhale for the rope to pass through, jam cleat or regular cleat underneath for rope to cinch down on. Nylon rope from the ring to the cleat. You may have to lose the rope then cinch back down while deploying and stowin the riggers.
The easiest solution would be a set of Halocks but not neccisarily the cheapest. Another solution would be to run a small diameter line (1/4" or less) from your glass eye through a grometed hole in your gunnel down to a cam cleat which can be easily adjusted to tension the system. In my opinion this is the cleanest looking set up.
