Planer Mast Set-ups and double planer boards

[kd...]

Here are the photos of my planer board setup. The reels are made of 1/8" aluminum with 2" spacers in the middle to make the hub. The spacers are 3/8" aluminum rod. I used six in each reel. The mount plate is 1/2" aluminum and the clutch pad is 1/16" craft foam. The clutch knob is a big wing nut from Lowes. The mast mount in the boat is a "U" bolt through the aluminum angle between the two consoles and an aluminum knob on the floor that the pipe fits over. The boards are 1x6 redwood and aluminum strap. I think I would put an angle of about 30 degrees on the leading edge of the boards if I were to do it again. They work fine though.
