The Kilwell Wishbone Outrigger Base is easy to
operate, tough and dependable. It offers trouble-free performance
when laying out for fishing or down for bridge clearance. The large
screw-clamp secures your outriggers firmly at any angle, but there
is also a preset stop collar for your favourite fishing position
too. A separate clamp on the wishbone arm secures the outriggers in
the up position, out of the way when travelling. Compatible Kilwell
Powerpole PP42 outriggers are designed to drop straight into these
bases.

Kilwell Wishbone Outrigger Base Installation:
To successfully install these Kilwell bases onto your boat you will
require:

• 24 x 6mm or ¼” Stainless Steel 316 countersunk bolts with
  washers and Nyloc lock nuts
• 2 x Backing plates (recommended depending on hull
  thickness)
• Electric drill with 6.5mm drill bit
• RTV silicone liquid gasket if attaching to aluminium hull
  (optional)
• Loctite

Considerations before drilling the holes in the
hull:

• Check all under deck clearances and access
• Read and understand installation instructions contained within
  the sheet
• Measure twice and drill once! Kilwell will not be responsible
  for any errors you make with
  the installation

Installation Instructions:

1. The Kilwell Wishbone Outrigger base is designed to fit with two
   feet on the cabin side and the bottom base mounted to the gunnel,
   or buy fitting a spacer it can be mounted with all three feet on a
   flat side. The area needs to provide adequate support and allow for
   easy operation. It is recommended that backing plates are mounted
   inside the hull, to spread the load.
2. Position the bases so that the outriggers are on an angle
   towards the rear of your hull. Ideally the when the outriggers are
   deployed, the outrigger tips should be towards the stern of your
   vessel. This avoids tip wrap on your rods when the lines
   release.
3. The distance between the top and bottom bases should be kept in
   the range of 18cm-36cm apart for proper operation.
4. The base with locking latch should be placed on the underside
   of the main tube on both sides. This ensures that the latch will
   hang free when the outriggers are deployed.
5. All mounting bases should be through bolted using 6mm Stainless
   countersunk bolts with backing plates, washers and Nyloc nuts. If
   installing against aluminium you will need to
   create an RTV gasket on each base to prevent electrolysis.
6. Adjust the stop collar and secure in place with a hex key
   wrench, at the desired deployment position. It is recommended to
   apply Loctite to all bolts once you have the collars etc. in the
   correct position.
7. Outrigger poles can either be glued into the bases, or if a
   snug fit can be installed without glue, but ensure the outrigger
   cords are fixed to the bases or boat when in use.
8. The outriggers can be laid down on the hull for trailering or
   when navigating under a bridge, by releasing the locking latch and
   disconnecting the quick release pin.
