Trimming our Stabilizer Poles - Emerald Isle: Ep.84 Fishing Boat Refit
Today we are cutting down the length of our stabilizer poles. The excess length is needed for trolling fisheries in southeast Alaska that we won't be participating in.
We want to say a big thank you to our Patrons and all others who have sent us gifts or have purchased our seafood. Also to all you viewers who have watched, liked, subscribed, and commented on our videos. You all make us so happy and proud to share our way of life with you.
In this series, you'll find us doing many different things to refit the boat. From framing and fiberglassing to fabrication and welding.
With all that said, please be sure to subscribe so you don't miss the next episode of the series! Share the journey with friends and family. If you enjoyed the video drop a comment and hit the like button! We look forward to interacting with you all. Thank you!

This family is the best ever, with all the turmoil in this world, this is like a breath of fresh air! They just roll their sleeves and getter’ done! We love this family!
Great job y'all!!
Wonderful. Looks good. Reminds me of flagpole my father erected in our front yard back in the early 60's. He built it from scatch with a long and straight douglas fir tree. Block and tackle was used to raise and lower it for painting and maintenance. He was handy too. You guys do such a good job and certainly not afraid of tackling what needs to be done.
Looks good!!! Hard work in cold weather... great job!!!

Sure would of been a sight to see her trawling lines out. Shes looking good I really like the look of her now with her new facelift. Cant wait for the plastic to come off and the new bulwarks put on shes gonna fish as good as she looks.
I can’t believe how much cleaner it looks. Nice job family! Thanks for the video.
That was cool 😎
Wow, that looks way better!
Looking forward to being able to buy some rockfish from you

You guys are hard-working, I admire that I worked on our Florida stone crab boat and did they scallops late at night and I know fishing is a hard job You guys are admirable
Nice weather and good work guys. Greetings from Misery Bay 🏴☠️ Northern Denmark
I love it go folks!,
You guys are not afraid to tackle anything. Not sure what you are doing today but I am sure it will improve the EI.
Cool...
I know where that theme music comes from :D
Looks like Mom needs an EIS flag and flagpole to find the boat.

Great job done on Boat - always Great works you all do. Hubby and I follow/watch. Sometime when we get to come home we can check out your boats❤
Boat is looking really nice.
Finish cutting off the other ends mounted near the bow. Make use of the cables at your place .

We’re going to build aluminum forestays for them once we wrap up some other stuff.
Hi guys, why oh why didn't you use the fish cutting tables advised on the port sign? 🙂
Hope the snow missed you for damage.
Don't need them that long if your not trolling. Many would take the pole tips off for other fisheries, and put them back on for trolling. I've seen a few pole tips go under water in bad weather. Less chance of them breaking when they are shorter.

Yeah thats for sure. They’d wobble all over the place when they were long. Just really hard to manage all that weight.
Hey, Matt, I like your glasses sunglasses. Do they fit over your normal glasses? Because I wear glasses too. And I really like your show.
I didn't notice if you have the name of the vessel on the bow or stern yet. Lots of work on that pole to get it to where you want it.
Long jig poles. Must of had a bunch of lines when she fished Albacore.
Thanks for the video.i always appreciate y'all's content.so do you have to have them stabilizers because of the type of boat it is or ? Could you just take them all the way off just wondering but the boat is coming along just fine but are you going to keep the canopy on or how are y'all planning on setting up the long line wheel I am ready to see the completion of the boat been a while as we all know it takes time to rehab anything and still work same time maybe I didn't ask everything the right way but maybe you'll understand what I am asking lol I talked texted everything I don't have my glasses on thank you y'all for the awesome time

We could take them off if we wanted but life is good with them in a choppy sea. The canopy in the center we’ll likely remove just for offloading catches and gear. The aft shelter will stay on for the time being.
Great video all. For the uninitiated (i.e. me) what do the stabilisers stabilise? And how do they work? Many thanks.

Sure, they are basically a board that exerts downward pressure when the boat is moving forward. This pulls down on either pole and stabilizes the boat in a rolly sea state.

Do you have to plug the hole where you cut off the top to keep the out rigger from filling with water.

The bottom of the poles aren’t capped so we’re good for now. However we’ll be fabricating a pad-eye for forestays, top line and the staby fish to come off of and at that time we’ll cap the end.

@EISAlaska You guys are doing a top notch job on the refit and I can't wait to see how the boat fishes. Are you going to rename her .
@EISAlaska

Yep, we did right after we bought her, she’s called Emerald Isle.
Soon?
Can you explain what they are and what they do pls. It looks like the shrimp boat in forest gump and I know you don’t do shrimp

Formerly they were to spread out trolling lines in southeast. Thats why they were so long. But since we dont have that kind of fishery here its not necessary for them to be that long. Now they’ll just function as stabilizing poles when at sea.
Did you get Bluetooth mic's?
Are these not run on a power winch of some type?
Too funny , if it takes 4 people to let down a outrigger pole how many to screw in a light bulb. Ha Ha

I don’t understand why you are cutting the poles, I would have thought that with the size of the boat, the longer stabilizer poles would be needed to do a proper job when they were in the water.
@EISAlaska

Nah, the extra length only made them unwieldily. The length we cut them to is still plenty long to provide ample stabilization with the fish in the water.
