Turbo rig hook
So it turns out ~9000lbs of boat and gear was too much for my rig hook and snubber. The snubber only lasted a few minutes in some moderate chop. Then the next trip was downright rough and with no snubber on the spectra line, the boat was slamming so hard against the rig hook it was knocking me and my passengers clean off our feet and the rig hook straightened out to the point out wouldn't hold.
solution........ buy an innner-tube for a tractor tire and double it up to serve as a heavy duty snubber and reinforce the rig hook with 3/4" pipe and 1/2X2 flat bar. |
