I bought a secondhand pair of telescopic outriggers, the type that fit into rod holders.  I was planning to put them in the two outermost holders on the rocket launcher.  I was just wondering about how and when to set them up.  I'm sure there is a good way and bad ways to do this, so thought I'd ask.  Do you extend them and mount them in the holders before you leave the boat ramp, then just turn them 90° when out at sea and ready to start pulling lures, or is there a better way to do it?

I have a similar setup one piece and swing out when ready to deploy. I secure to my bow rail via my front hatch. ...easy peasy

Kevin I also bought a set of telescopic riggers. I sit them in rod holders that are half way up the ali supports for the target top. Similar to BB I clip the support line to a rubber bungee that sits over the bollard. I'll flick you a couple of photos.
