This shows generally the configuration, although you can't see relative position related to seat/doghouse/etc...

I am a bit of an odd duck, I hang mine out the starboard side, it is tight up against the drivers seat. Looking for a good picture.

Mike, I have the gunnel saver, but as you and Tim noted, it really doesn't do much. I throw a seat cushion (throwable PFD) between the boom and gunnel as well.

I use a throw cushion... Ive seen too many boats with spidercracked gunnels for me to trust the rubber "gunnel saver" alone, especially if it doesnt sit flat on the gunnel (mine never does).
Ive seen some people use trailer guide pads as well, but those arent super thick. |

Hey all,
We were up at the Wisconsin Water Ski Fed/Expo this weekend and Mike Seipel was there selling all his factory second stuff. My friend got a 2 piece stainless fly high for $200 and we got a BI contour boom for $250. Couldn't really pass that deal up. What do you guys use to protect the gunnel? I know the booms come with that rubber piece but never really trusted that. I'm looking for something a little more cleaner than simply adding a throw cushion under the bar but maybe that's the only/best way to go. Thought about those step pads some of the newer boats have but didn't know how that'd look either. Thoughts? |
