trolling plate line

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to figure out the best ways to run the line that releases the trolling plate, into the boat and keep it outa the way any ideas. I tried running up over the engine thru a piece of rubber hose. I had the hose achored to the cowling with self sticking wire thingies (not really sure what there called) but that didn't work they pulled off the first time I yanked on the cable ideas appreciated.

Okay, I'll try, my old partner, rest his soul, had a 70 Evinrude with a trolling plate, ran a peice of nylon starter cord from the release to the cleat at the rear ouside of the boat, long enough to allow turning hard left/right, but short enough so it would never get close to being snatched by the prop, going fwd or rev.
