outriggers
Hull-steadying side pontoons
Outriggers are projecting structures that extend from a main body to provide stability or support.
On canoes and boats, an outrigger is a float attached by poles parallel to the hull, preventing capsizing—common in Pacific Island watercraft.
On cranes and fire trucks, outriggers are extendable legs that brace the vehicle during operation.
The term extends to any stabilizing projection: The scaffolding's outriggers kept it from tipping.
