Butch,

Used to fish Lake Anna when I was stationed in DC. Not bad but the fish glowed
in the dark. :=)

I've had good luck filtering out the obvious stuff like Clinton, Bush, War,
Irag, Gun, OT, etc. Also, I pretty much know if a thread has 15 or more posts
it's probably drifted OT or become a flame war.

Re. the trolling motor. Once upon a time I saw a transom mounted electric
troller. As best I can recall there was an aluminun track attached to the
transom and the troller could be moved up or down as required for fishing or
travel. I seem to remember???? that there was a link which attached between
the anti-cavitation plate on the IO leg and the troller thus allowing steering
with the wheel. The link remained attached to the troller but fit over a male
pin on the plate via a spring loaded snap on on the end of the link???

Saw this on a boat in Deale, MD on the Chesapeake's Western Shore..... Harry's
main area, eh? It's been several years but it might be worth checking with
Cabela, etc.

If you can't find anything it should be fairly easy to invent something?

Good luck.

Butch

PS: Thought we talked about the name thing!!??
