Thanks everyone

So from the looks of the video that Jim posted as well as Tony shortening his rails, looks like I will modify something, kinda what I expected. All good.

Thats powered one looks legit though. Specially for late season pulls!

That's me in Jim's video. I'm glad I took his advice and mounted it weak-side. You will have more range of motion with your dominant arm if you do so.

Can you mount it to your rail? I would not want to go too far forward or it will be harder to put the line in the roller. But too far back and you are pulling laterally instead of front to back. I tried for a balance to where I was able to use more than just arms to pull, like engaging your legs and core when paddling.

Biggest advantage of the puller is that you can get a full arm pull instead of short pulls. Much less tiring.

My only option is to cut the rail or mount on the side somehow.

The mounting boards are too far up.

That's the thing.. the fact that they are far is an advantage. More room for longer pull, full arm pull vs half. I was hooping at 110 feet last weekend and I'll tell u the short pulls was a killler.
