Pontoon Pimpin'

[TubeDude]

[cool][#0000ff]I did some testing a long time ago on how many random holes I could drill in a piece of tubing before it weakened substantially. As long as the holes are small and not in a straight line...around the frame tubing...they are virtually unnoticeable in terms of strength of the tube.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I refer to my "RAM" mount with quotes. It is not a true RAM mount, but accomplishes the same thing. The PVC joints are not glued and move smoothly. It is an instant install of the sonar display and rotates easily left to right and up and down to provide whatever adjustment you want. Costs a lot less too.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Bryce casts left handed, thus the original mount on the right side. But, with the rods being well inside the outside edge of the pontoons, there is virtually no interference in his casting...as long as he doesn't get excited during a wiper boil.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The motor mount on the Colorado is to the right of the center line on the back basket/platform. That is why he has problems steering to the right with an electric motor when the rod tubes are loaded on the right side. No problem with them being on the left.[/#0000ff]
