I already got footholds louie,but what kind of nosepiece?

And guys i really do appreciate all the advice.

 

[Kennay]

there are some out there.

But why?

if spacers and the stock bracket work?

Leverage is not at that things advantage. I'd say that's alot more prone to twisting than a stock RN bracket with the RN pole. I wouldn't trust it personally (Sorry Matt )

 

[Kennay]

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?

You have to shave down some of the pole metal.

dont worry i had the same concerns, but this has been tested by others and worked fine. i didnt want to do this and at best this is just temporary for me anyways i would like to wrap a rn around this pole by next year. at least ill prob put a lowered rn brkt on and level out mount area, but this will get me in the water !!!!! and kennay im getting very close.......i should have a very important pkg in a few days :fingersx:

 

[Kennay]

Ah man, whatcha got coming? Now I'm excited

light battery

Where can i get a really lite weight battery>?

 

[keefer]

Get with RD and have him order you the Deka ETX 15L. It is only 11lbs which is 6 or 7 lbs lighter than a stock type. It is a good AGM battery with plenty of CCA. I ran one all last season with no problems.

Why would you not want to reduce the weight of your ski by 6 pounds or more? This is an easy way to lose weight and the lighter batteries are cheaper than the heavy 17 pound 16CLB stock type batteries.

roundnose pole

I got the RN pole today!Yankee boy im boucing between your nigga-rig style on the rn pole or the washers?Could you give me the sizes on your bolts?

 

[yankeeboy]

o yea sorry i didnt see your post, i believe they're 9/16 inch, or 14mm. We got them from lowes. I also had to make 2 pvc spacers to take place of 10 washers, ( 5 washers = 1 spacer on a side )and i also needed 5 washers on the inside to make up for lack of threads.
