TACO Grand Slam 170 Center Rigger 1-⅛" OD

The TACO Grand Slam 170 Center Rigger 1-⅛" OD is a professional-grade outrigger mount engineered for anglers and boat operators who demand precision elevation control in demanding marine environments. Built on decades of TACO Marine's reputation for reliability, this center rigger delivers the repeatability and durability required for tournament-level fishing and extended offshore deployments. Whether you're managing multiple outriggers on a sport fishing vessel or operating light tactical waterborne equipment, the Grand Slam 170 center mount provides the secure, repeatable positioning that separates professional operators from casual users.

At the core of this rigger is TACO's proven spline lock technology, which engages every 18 degrees to hold your outrigger at precise elevation angles without drift or creep during operation. The mechanism employs Delrin bearings paired with a stainless steel internal locking system, ensuring smooth adjustment cycles while maintaining absolute security under dynamic load conditions. Designed specifically for standard 1-⅛" butt OD outriggers, the Grand Slam 170 accommodates the most common marine rigger specifications, allowing seamless integration into existing systems. The all-stainless construction resists saltwater corrosion, critical for vessels operating in offshore or high-salinity environments where equipment longevity directly impacts mission availability.

This center mount rigger benefits commercial fishing operations, charter vessels, and serious sport anglers who run multi-rigger spreads where synchronized elevation control is non-negotiable. The 6.3-pound assembly integrates cleanly into standard marine mounting footprints without requiring modifications to existing rod holders or rigger systems. Installation is straightforward for operators familiar with basic marine hardware, though professional rigging technicians can ensure optimal gimbal alignment and load distribution. For anyone operating outriggers at tournament standards or in professional marine contexts, the TACO Grand Slam 170 Center Rigger represents the baseline specification for dependable, corrosion-resistant elevation management that performs season after season.
