Rig Rite: Practical Accessories Built for Fishing Boats

Rig Rite is a Minnesota-based manufacturer of boat accessories, and it has been solving small but stubborn problems for anglers for more than three decades. Rig-Rite Mfg. Inc. was founded in Andover, Minnesota in 1992 with just two products. In 1999 the company relocated to Miltona, in west central Minnesota. Its catalog has since grown to nearly 100 items. The idea behind it is simple: if boaters need a product and nobody makes it, build it.

Marine Electrical Rigging Done Right

Rig Rite's roots are in electrical rigging. The company began by filling a gap in the market for reliable circuit breakers for trolling motors. That origin still shows in the lineup of circuit breakers, which includes manual-reset and automatic-reset designs for 12, 24 and 36 volt systems. A resettable breaker is a smart alternative to a fuse, since it replaces a fuse which can blow and ruin a fishing trip.

The broader range of electrical parts and accessories covers the connections that tie a boat's wiring together. Rig Rite makes livewell timers, grommets, marine fuse holders, quick connectors and more for electrical rigging on fishing boats. The watertight in-line fuse holders are molded from heat resistant, non-breakable plastic and push together for watertight marine applications. The V-groove trolling motor plugs and receptacles are sold in 2-wire and 3-wire configurations. Marine-grade copper wire, light dimmer switches and rubber clamps round out the electrical side.

Cargo Nets and Boat Lift Storage

Cargo nets are the company's signature product. Its core items are cargo nets for boats. Rig Rite's gear hammocks and hooks keep life jackets, clothing and tackle from blowing out of the boat. They come in several sizes and ship with mounting hooks.

The Stow-Zall series brings the same idea to boat lift accessories. It creates a storage area under the front of boat lifts and canopies, and the mesh allows wet items to dry. That keeps skis, vests and rods off the deck and out of the weather.

Why Boat Builders and Anglers Choose Rig Rite

• American-made: Products are made in the USA at the company's 5,000 sq ft building, where it does all the light manufacturing, assembly and packaging.
• OEM trust: Major boat manufacturers like Alumacraft, Lund, and Larson rely on Rig Rite components as original equipment.
• Right-sized for the job: The parts are used in most 14 to 22 foot fishing boats.
• Built by anglers: The company's own motto is that it understands fishermen's needs because its people are fishermen.

For anyone rigging a new fishing boat or upgrading an older one, Rig Rite's purpose-built parts are a practical way to add dependable power protection and organized storage.
