Installing Hardtop Outriggers

[Fishtales]

Hi,
I finally pulled the trigger on a pair of Taco GS270s. I plan to use the wedge blocks and backing plates along with 15' poles. I was looking for the tube spacers so I don't crush the hardtop when tightening it down.

Does anybody know where to get them? If anyone has done this themselves, I'm open to any installation tips.

Thanks in advance guys...

Outriggers

Fishtales: I installed Taco Grand Slam 350's with 15 foot poles on my Seafarer 228. The boat had the factory installed hardtop. I did not use the wedge or the spacers, but did use the "Backing Plates" It was an easy install. It does say to install so many inches (I forgot the exact measurement) from anything, but I probably should have went another inch. This was due to when you roll up the eisenglass to the top then you are in the hardtop about one inch. Other than that everything works great. Hope this helps.
