This year I tried many new items, two of which I really liked, worked great and were not so expensive that you needed to take out a loan. The first was these tire deflators, they screw into the stem and allow you to deflate all 4 tires at the same time to a pre-set pressure. (you configure the setting) Once they are all all set they work GREAT!. Allows me to air down in about a minute or two now.

The other were these "rod-riggers" . Sort of like a poor mans outrigger but they increase the trolling spread and allow more rods to be trolled (or minimize tangles). I found a new pair on ebay for 30 bucks and used them all summer.

a pic of the rod riggers look like this:

30 bucks :eek: what a bargain!
I paid 100 bucks for mine and I never ended up even using them(motor crapped out again and sold boat)

I have those tire deflators on my wish list :btu:

$30 is a steal.

redlite's father was going to weld me a pair, but I sold my boat. $100 a pair is the cheapest I've ever seen them.

you can get them for 69.99 here.

You guys probably have a super deluxe version of them. Last spring there were a bunch auctioned off pretty cheap.

I don't have *any* connection with this fellow but I have bought some stuff thru him last winter.
