I fish from October to May both stays in the shed the rest of the time I haven’t got out to try to use them, but the installation was very easy. I’m looking at them and I don’t know if you make an extension cause they’re like 2 inches from the edge of my boat, but I think they’ll be all right. I have not got it in the water since I put them on there, but I will let you know what I think when I do get the boat in the water.
