Troller, one thing you can do when you use the Offshore clips is lengthen the line of the clip that you put the fishing line on so that you can pull it into the boat. Swivel mounts might be another alternative. If your having to hang ouside the boat Im assumming your useing 4ft or longer booms. When stacking I dont personally use the Offshore stackers but I do buy them and then make 2 release setups useing the clips skyguy pictured for a few bucks cheaper than buying them separately.
