Date Problem Solution
Reliable Rodriggers

Reliable Aluminum rodriggers


In Service: 12-AUG-2001
Oct. 12, 2001 These rodriggers come with vinyl liner sleeves in the rod tub. The liners are not glued in place, and tend to come out. They also make the inner diameter a little too small to accomodate some of our rods with hypalon grips. Removed the liners. No problems since.
June 27, 2002 These rodriggers only have one set of notches in the stand, so it only locks in the correct position in rod holders that have a pin pointing fore-and-aft. Does not work in the factory-installed stern rod holders Cut a new set of notches in the stand, at right angles to the other set. Works fine now.
Windline SS Rodriggers
Aug. 12, 2001 The Windline rod tubes are too small to take the hypalon grips on most of our rods Replaced with the Reliable rodriggers, which have a larger diameter rod tube.
