I got to try the outriggers today and they work great! I found hardly any wobble in the yak when getting in and out of it. When out on the water I realized I’ll have to add pins to the float bars because they wanted to ride on top of the outrigger. I just slid the float bars into the plastic “tee” fittings and never permanently affixed them. So, when in the water the floats spin above the bars.
As for stability on the water, they work perfectly. I could still rock the boat but I doubt the kids will ever flip it again!
Hey guys, if you haven’t found it yet check out the new Paddling board FAOL added with this change. You’ll probably find more good advice there --plus make Jim Hatch happy.
