Jeff ,my Emu voyeurism brother (we should have taken pictures of RT) the rod should be parallell to the water, the angle that it leaves the boat does not matter ,by pointing the rods to the outside it covers more water if its a narrow slot then you could bring them closer together to make that situation work... thats my input and my limited knowlege,pulling plugs on my cataraft is a lot of work,because it's so responsive ( some cats aren't ) so I don't do it enough...but I'm ready to try boondoggin from my Cat though
