Just received a new kayak for Christmas and was thinking of installing outriggers for stability. I have found a couple of different outriggers on-line, one set from Scotty that are inflatable. The other ones are made of foam and use the Scotty bases. My question is has anyone used either type or have any recommendations. Thank you in advance Russ C.
I suggest that you take your new kayak out a few times - and then decide if you need the extra stability outriggers provide. Newbies biggest fear seems to be that kayaks are too 'tippy', but usually find that a modern kayak - especially a fishing kayak, is actually quite stable.
Outriggers can get in the way and be a real PITA.

Buddy and I have Native kayaks and we put on the outriggers from "StandNFish". Best thing we ever did. Impossible to tip over and the come on and off really quick. I have a lean bar for sale but no way will I seel the outriggers.
Instalked Outriggers on my canoe. I can stand up and cast. Might tilt 10 degrees. Also installed electric motor. Cruise 2.5hrs at 4miles hr. Cover a whole lake. Take two batteries can do 5 hrs.
