I have the Cannon 10's also.  I blew my top in a rant the other day because of how poorly 

some of this stuff is made.  (I'll keep my cool for now).  I am using the low profile swivel mounts,

which are insanely expensive for what they are, and after docking my boat saw that the rigger

was out of position.  That makes the second time I've had the lock pin shear off.  

   That being said, I've taken the thing apart and replaced the pin before (super cheap, fix yourself) and 

found that there is still going to be some slop in the swivel.  That slop is what allows the force to 

shear the pin.  I now drive at speed with the booms fully retracted no matter how short a distance.

Maybe you're supposed to do that anyway... oops.  

   As for the boom itself being sloppy, I haven't had that issue.  I would unscrew it and check to see 

if there is anything preventing it from fully compressing the pipe.  Otherwise, chalk it up to manufacturing.

Worst case, wrap it.  It only needs to fit once.

  I am waiting a week now for another pin, so sorry if I still sound a little bitter.  

With the slop, it seems to be common with these riggers.

Hey Troutman, I was looking to order 2 12lb torpedos and 2 16lb torpedos.

Do you have any left?  

And how do we do this? 

Do you use PayPal?

Hi everyone, 

   I have a 19' Sea Nymph with two areas under the hull with leaky rivets.  The problem is on either side of the keel plate but only involves about 4 rivets

in each spot.  Last year I was able to drastically reduce the leaking by using large sheets of Flex Tape.  It was a quick fix that allowed me to continue

fishing but I am preparing to tackle the problem properly.  I am looking to drill out the rivets and replace them with closed end pop rivets as I do not have 

access to both sides.  My question is what length rivet should I use?  I was going with 3/16" diameter and can either go with 3/8" or 1/4" lengths.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Those flies have been around a long time.  Brutal.

Here's a good little video on them:
