TACO OUTRIGGER HELP

[Beach]

SENT THIS IN TO TACO...WAITING ON A RESPONSE...

I have a pair of 18' Black and Gold Telescoping Outriggers. They have served me fine but now I notice this spring that one of them is kinda droopy...one is straight and erect as a young sailor on liberty and the other droops like an Old Chief Petty officer coming home from sea to a homely overweight wife...LOL...anyway on a serious note...it appears that one or two sections are a little sloppy and I was wondering is there was a fix for this, perhaps replacement sections? I have looked at them and surmised that if I drilled a locking pin hole about 6 inches further back on each rigger section that this would cause them to have more bearing surface and hence more rigidity. I realize I might loose 2 or so feet of rigger but 16' of stiff rigger has got to be getter than 18' of droopy rigger...anyway looking forward to your response...

I have a pair of 15 ft telescoping poles that are 2 years old and on one of them is malfunctioning. Spoke to Hank at Taco and he send it back, no problem.

As one who is old enough to be an old petty officer, I would never want to lose 10% of my pole no matter what.

Had the 18 foot tacos. I did not like them after one cracked at the top of the bottem pole.

BUT their customer service was excellent!!! Sent them back to taco and had them back in two weeks all fixed no questions asked!!!

I ended up selling them and put lee's on.
