Taco Outrigger reducer question....

[greggo]

I have a set of 19' Taco Outrigger poles 1.5 diameter with spreader rigging. I would like to reduce to pole size to fit into a set Lee Jr Wishbone Outrigger Bases (1.25?) I believe the outside pole diameter can be reduced to fit inside of the mounted bases on my boat. Any suggestions as to where to find these reducers. Thank You in Advance

I would check with any shops in your area that do hardtops or T-Tops. They should be able to do something to help.

I think he's trying to go the other way, i.e. using a 1.5" outrigger in a 1.25" (or smaller) base. I wouldn't do it, as I believe it would create a weak area far too close to the base. JMHO, after thousands of miles on our 15-ft, 1.5", heavy-duty Taco outriggers.

You're correct, damn this dyslexia! Not sure I've seen a reverse reducer, either, and not sure I'd want one ... :?

I think the Lee Jr's are 2" holders.
