My boat has a inboard/outboard that, I don't mind. It gives me a seat/working area.
I am thinking of removing the sleeper seat (that is never used for sleeping)and rebuilding it as a single seat.
This would allow more room in the fishing area.
My question is what is the preferred location for downriggers,
At present my downriggers are as far back towards the transom as I can get them.
I am thinking about relocating them to the center.
I checked out the "Wolfs" Blue charter website and he has his riggers located at the middle of the boat. This makes sense as it will make it easier getting to the downriggers, and also will make more room when using the kicker.
Will relocating the riggers to the center of the boat cause problems getting them wrapped around the prop. Or does the wire get down below the prop out of harms way?
I fish mostly at the Sandheads at the entrance to the Fraser the currents there are fierce and I have had the wire round the prop a couple of times.
What are your Pros or Cons.
