Abstract: A tubular housing is mounted to an outside bulkhead of a vessel with a tubular outrigger pole socket mounted at a first end to the tubular housing. An outrigger pole is mounted to the pole socket at a second end. A connecting strut, attached to a movable bracket at a first end, moves at one end within a slot in the tubular housing. The connecting strut, attached to a slidable bracket at a second end, moves at a second end within a slot in the pole socket. A collapsible strut supports the pole socket. A piston is hydraulically driven upwards within the tubular housing to retrieve the outrigger. The outrigger is deployed by pumping hydraulic fluid back to a pump reservoir. The pump is controlled electrically by a switch mounted on the vessel's steering panel.
