10-4, your right, I've seen that set up on some smaller rigs. I was advised that spending the money on a Hyd. J-plate may not really make a big difference on my boat. I pulled up Bobs fixed "set...

10-4, thx. My son helped me find some more info on brackets, etc. I have gone this far, I might as well do it right...

Got it, Thx... "picked up a couple extra jugs this weekend"...!

Euro, Thx for the response. I know this is not "rocket science, I'm just "old school". I just recently lucked up and found an older motor in pretty good shape, and I just don't want to take any...
