tigress clamp on outriggers?

[bigg09]

Wondering if anybody has any experience with tigress clamp on outriggeres for soft t-tops? i have a 22c and thinking about putting them on. i wouldn't have to weld new plates or cut holes in the gunwells.

thanks, casey

That set up looks like trouble. I hate the design and tigress ain't exactly famous for quality.

WHY DO YOU SAY IT LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE? QUALITY MAY BE AN ISSUE, BUT WHAT DO YOU FEEL IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH THE DESIGN IT THEY ARE MOUNTED IN BETWEEN THE SUPPORT LEGS ON THE SIDE OF THE T-TOP. I HAVE A NARROW T-TOP SO THERE WOULD NOT BE A LOT OF UNDUE STRESS. CORRECT ME IF I AM LONG. I JUST LIKE THE THOUGHT OF BEING ABLE TO FISH AROUND/WHICH GUNWELL MOUNTED OUTRIGGERS PREVENT.

Outriggers flying around when running (especially those whippy looking poles) will put too much load on a small section of pipe. Bent pipe or cracked welds will occur in short order. Another classic case of a lousy shortcut.

THANKS, FOR THE INPUT. I FIGURED AS MUCH, BUT STILL WANTED TO TEST THE WATERS....
