Plethora Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 No, I have a Stacer 509 SeaRunner (out of the same factory as yours) and I use the factory ski pole & the large bait board, (swap them out) and I stop them from moving about in the hole with two metal roofing screws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffb5.8 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I haven’t had a issue with my Stacer 539 and I have a BaitMate Ski/bait board and also use the factory ski pole if I know I’m not fishing. I have had 3 large guys over 85Kg each multiple times at full speed in a lounge chair tow tube and no issues in the 4yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welster Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) I had a 5.3 freedom sport I think around a 1999. It had the Quintex ski pole and bait board option at the time. The bait board was a bit sloppy but we had a live bait tank with bait board fabricated to fit in the pole so it didn’t matter. I now have a Stacer 5.7 with a ski pole. It has two stainless braces onto the transom. The thing with this one is we need to unbolt it to change to the bait board. So it isn’t easy to do both activities on the sane outing. It’s the third pic and the best I have of it, if you need more let me know. Hopefully that helps. Edited November 11, 2020 by Welster Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffb5.8 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Welster that’s the same ski pole mine had, swapped it for the the bait mate ski / bait board, save removing it each time i even still use the two support arms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing it uses the ski pole mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffb5.8 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Yeah it slips into the ski pole hole and the chrome Arms bolt up to it. The arms bolt on with that threaded Rod. I just drilled a hole at the correct height about 80mm under the board it had a lug fitted to stop the ski rope dropping down the pole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffb5.8 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Only thing I would change is to sit the bait board back 60mm to stop you hitting your head on it when sitting in the back seat. Baitmate will modify all their designs, I had mine raised 120mm to allow for being 6ft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice thanks for that Jeff. Do you have a live bait tank too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
