Cc28 Outriggers

[Patriot]

Hard top CC28.

Looking to install a pair of outriggers. I will not keep them on the boat full time so I was leaning towards the gunnel mounted Rupp or Taco bases. After inspecting for a gunnel installation however that doesn't look doable due to the gunnel sweeping up at an angle where they should be located. You really need a flat area for the holders or the angles the poles will sit are thrown off.

That brings me back to hard top mounted bases as an option. What I don't like about that is the visual of the boat without the poles installed ie; just the bases are sitting on the roof. The other thing with top mounted bases is the dripping factor, everyone with those mounts (Taco or Rupp) says that the bases will drip slightly during heavy rain. Not a big deal perhaps but still an annoyment.

Does anyone have Taco or Rupp bases on a hard top so I could see where you installed them? If you do, please send pics. Thanks.

would the Lee Jr's work on the cabin side?

I looked at them but on a 28 there really is no "cabin side" to speak of. I think I am just going to go on the hard top.

my 28 has the lee jr they will fit. you have to angle them some though. Will try to remember to take a picture of them for ya. But they do work.

Mounting Lee Jrs?

I am thinking about mounting Lee Jr outrigger mounts on my C28. Can you post a picture of them mounted on your boat?

if you look on Yachtword CC's for sale you can see a couple there. I decided to go with Taco Grand Slams on the hard top, I have no tower. I solo the boat often and getting forward around those Lee's was a concern. Much cleaner gunnel without them IMO.
