if you come across a cheap RN pole, you can easily ( like 20 minutes) shorten it, and bolt it up to your bracket with some spacers.

Its shorter, stronger, and looks MUCH better.

when I cut my 1990 open, it was FULL of water, prepare for a defoam, reseal, refoam!

 

[Flat Brapp]

Yeah I would def de-foam it.

How about a prop?

Sounds like a nice start with the basics.
I agree, your boat is probably very wet and heavy. If you are going to do footholds and turf....now is the time to seal and re-foam. It's not a fun job, but getting rid of the extra weight makes a big difference.

i used washers to shim the pole, thats what ive seen done a few times and mine is nice and tight it worked well

[Mouthfulloflake]

there are some out there.

But why?

if spacers and the stock bracket work?

Im surprised there are no conversion brackets out there.

 

[Flat Brapp]

you got a point.

When i went to put my Rn pole on my SN bracket, it didnt fit? :thinking: Did you cut some material off the pole and bracket?
