prop nut Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I am going to have to buy a couple tx 44s and make some of those pins a well if its only a little longer I made a jig to make the pins myself, with the jig its fast, if its just a little longer it will be a minor change the first couple dozen pins I made years ago I spent some time getting rite Myself I much prefer the reg. size boards its just a lot easier to see if you have a fish on the std size has any one with the 44s had the same problem ?

prop nut Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 looks like the 44 board uses the same pin a little longer the next batch I make will fit both it will just stick out the top of the standard walleye boat a little further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Line Dancin Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 just screw in a small screw eye and a snap swivel on an a split ring does the same thing and about 20 cents to fix it. Or use a screw eye #8 split ring and a OR-16 and the board doesnt slide down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
