[quote wiperhunter2]It will work fine Allen, there are many people that run 4 riggers, even a few on this site. Bduck is one member that uses 4 riggers on his boat and has no issues but of course you have to be careful not to make your turns too quick. He likes to run one rigger deeper than the other just for that reason and it seems to work great. He runs two rigger straight out the back of his boat the other two are on the side, like your boat. You have to be careful with the one that is near your trolling motor and that is why some folks will only run three riggers, so they don't have to deal with a rigger near their trolling motor.[/quote]
Having 4 riggers can be a headache if your not paying attention to how your setup. My long arms reach out 4' to the sides with the short arms off the corners. On port side is kicker which that cable runs right next to prop. A prop guard prevents cable from getting entangled. My short arms run deeper and depending the target fish I will use a lure that will still get a little deeper than the rigger weight. This helps with line tangle prevention. Also, I don't use long setbacks. When making sharp turns is when lines tend to tangle especially long lining. Before going to 4 riggers I use to stack. Premature releases kept me very busy and frustrated at times. Its easier for me to handle 1 rig at a time with less stress of keeping lines in the water. This problem is lessen when I would have company on board attending 2 riggers but line tangles are always a threat.
