whi7eindustries Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi Raiders, looking at buying some 16' Black Pete outriggers for my 6.4m Savage Marlin. Just wondering if anyone has used these or has any info on them. I've had alook and they seem great, nice and stiff with solid side mounts, two piece by the way. Any info would be great. Thanks Tobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy0884 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi Mate, The black pete riggers are just Pacific composite poles with black pete rigging and weights, i also think they run Reelax bases. Reelax also use Pacific Composites poles made to their specs.. Go for it if the price is right, just make sure you use some solid backing plates when you mount them.

reggie Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Sammy, Noticed you have/had relax gunnel mounts on your boat,recently picked up a new boat and set of these came with it,mate appreciate pro's and cons of these as never used them before,any tricks? Cheers Reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy0884 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 No worries.... Pro's: No need to cut holes, small footprint. cheap. Cons: Must be setup correctly to achieve correct angles, separate base and mount means you can lose the elbow if not glued to the pole. Potential to drop the pole in the drink because you have to separate the base and elbow to lay the riggers out at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Sammy, I was hoping they were PC poles, heard good things about them, have some good stainless backing plates ready made up for inside the cabin, well chuffed. Picking them up next week, fully rigged too, can't ask for more really. Thanks again. Tobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyh Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hey guys, I have used and installed the black pete riggers before and i can vouch for them being top notch, for memory they do 12 and 16 footers. Give them a call at their office on 9905 7888 and they will advise you on what to use and where to purchase them from. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Black Pete 16ft they have a strong base, (Not Relax actually Black Pete), while traveling in big sea i store riggers down side of boat full lenght and strap to bow rail and rear tie off cleat , this saves stressing the bases and pole mounts, i have cracked and broken fitting at end of both poles while traveling with riggers up, And that goes for all riggers especially 16ft or up, their is too much strain on all items traveling while up. They are a great set up for a realistic price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
