You have to be at least 100 ft from shore to discard fish parts. That is the law.

I'll take them. Where are you located?

As long as you don't have clearance issues between the skeg and the ground, trim them sraight down vertically and you are good to go.

12V auto heater that plugs into a cigerett lighter is what I use. Works good but draws power.

The answer is quite common. Common courtesy and common sense. If I'm out over deep water covering water looking for fish, I'm going to use as many feet of planner board line as I can. If I come in tight and work a shoreline with a dozen other boats, If I'm not smart enough or courteous enough to pull those boards in to a reasonable distance, I deserve to get chopped off. Same thing with fishing long coppers in traffic. You want to run um, your entirely responsible for keeping them out of peoples way and from getting cut off. Period. There isn't anybody on that lake special enough to take up that kind of real estate when other people are trying to fish the same water. Not that difficult.

Chop one off. Simple.

Hands down, Scottys. You won't need customer service.

You could go with a Yammy 8 hp high thrust and that would be plenty of motor for that boat. A lot of guys have that motor on bigger glass boats. Should keep your batterys charged, as well as less weight.

See.... Take it to Hank. The man knows his business

Trade them in for Scottys Jim.

I got a 453 kicking around. Any idea how much 50 lb typical braid backing I need to fill it with 10 colors of regular 27lb lead core?

Any mechanic should be able to do this for you or a friend with any kind of mechanical apptitude. If you live close to Port Bay bring it to Hank.
