    jack plates and positioning

    I have that jackplate on my boat. If you mount it even with the top of your transom it is a 3" raise. I would go ahead and mount it there for starters. That would put your cavitation plate even but you should still be on the safe side because of the setback. I might be wrong but that is my opinion.

    transom savers

    Yes. I use one on my 15 Johnson for the same reason. It will drag on my driveway if I don't. If you read the package on the Attwood it says not for use on motors without power tilt/trim. I don't know why.

    no air vent on my 6 gal fuel tank....opinions?

    I just went to their website. That is the same Moeller cap I paid $5 for 3 weeks ago and now it is $13. I guess they figured out people were buying them to replace the self venting ones and jacked up the price.

    Trailer mod

    If his driveway is anything like mine I believe him. My tongue is about 2" from scraping my driveway and my trailer is perfectly level.

    no air vent on my 6 gal fuel tank....opinions?

    I recently bought a new 6 gallon Attwood at Wally World. It had no vent on the tank itself but the cap had the automatic vent which sucked. The tank would swell up like a balloon in the sun but still not enough pressure for the cap to self vent. I went to Gander Mountain and bought an old style...

    Small flexible automotive antennas for boat stereo?

    I had one on my Nitro bass boat a few years ago. Reception was ok but not great. There are a couple of other options though.

    1980 35hp Evinrude Motor Mods?

    Question to anyone who might know. Some Digital Multi Meters have RPM measurement capabilities. I wonder if that would work. Maybe someone here has one and knows.

    Jackplate-my version

    Looks great. I wish I had built my own. I bought the non adjustable one from Bass Pro for $89. After I bought mine I found a place locally that has great prices on aluminum. Is that 6061? They have 4x4x 1/4 6061 for $8.06 a ft.

    fuse question

    The fuse holder I offered up doesn't have wire on it at all. It has an opening that will accept up to #4 and set screws to hold the wire in. I work in the car audio field. We stock #0 wire and fuses up to 300A.

    fuse question

    If you can't find a fuseholder or circuit breaker let me know. I have some extra AGU fuseholders at work.They are a little larger than AGC. I can throw one along with a few 40a fuses in an envelope and mail it to you free of charge.

    tow vehicle info

    I tow my boat with a 1999 CR-V all wheel drive. My boat is a 2010 Polar Kraft MV1468 with a 15 Johnson. It pulls it like it is nothing. I even get about 20 mpg towing. I guess all boat ramps are different but where I live they are all concrete. I have never had even a slip of the front tires...
