This smart upgrade automates outrigger deployment and retrieval, reducing workload and helping prevent user error. Whether you're rigging up for a tournament or stowing gear after a long day offshore, AutoDeploy™ makes the process faster and easier.


What Is AutoDeploy™ (and AutoRetrieve™)?

AutoDeploy™ and AutoRetrieve™ are built-in automation features available on all Rupp Gen2 Power Rigger™ systems. With these features, you can fully deploy or fully retrieve your outriggers with a simple double-tap of the IN or OUT rocker switch—or from the wireless remote.

How It Works:

  • Double-tap the OUT button (on your wired rocker switch or wireless fob), and the outrigger will automatically begin its deployment cycle.

  • Double-tap the IN button, and it will automatically retract into the stowed position.

  • You don’t need to hold the button down through the entire motion—just activate it and let the system do the rest.

  • If at any point you need to interrupt the movement, simply press any switch in the opposite direction to stop.

These features are available through both:

  • Wired rocker switches (at the helm or bridge), and

  • Wireless remotes, which are included with every Gen2 system.

The system uses a printed circuit board (PCB) and sealed electronics to manage timing and motor control, ensuring the full cycle is completed safely and consistently—without guesswork or user fatigue.


Why It Matters

✅ Save Time

Automated deployment lets you focus on the fish, not the gear.

✅ Increase Safety

On Deluxe systems, built-in logic prevents incorrect movement sequences that could damage your riggers, hardtop, or vessel.

✅ Simplify the Experience

Perfect for solo operators or crews who want to streamline setup and breakdown.


Standard with Every Gen2 System

AutoDeploy™ is included with all Gen2 hydraulic packages—both Standard and Deluxe models—and works with:

  • Wired rocker switches

  • Standard wireless remotes

If you're retrofitting an older system or ordering new riggers for a custom build, Gen2 with AutoDeploy™ is a clear step forward in performance and ease-of-use.


Smarter, Safer, and Built for Offshore Conditions

Gen2 wasn’t just about adding new features—it’s a complete redesign for real-world reliability. With sealed enclosures, Deutsch connectors, and LED diagnostics, this system was built to reduce install time and eliminate common headaches.

AutoDeploy™ is the user-friendly upgrade captains didn’t know they needed—until now.
