I just converted to hydraulic last year after 2 failed cables in less than 2 years time. Somebody could have gotten hurt on the 2nd failure - running almost 30 mph w/ 6 people on board it snapped and motor suddenly turned violently to starboard. Sent us heading for a seawall but luckily I backed off in time and nobody got thrown out.
Its expensive but its the best.

A spade fish is black and white striped like a zebra ,shaped like a spade on a deck of cards. they average 4 to 10 # . The state record in Va is 14 # even I think. They are some of the best eatin fish in the ocean.

Just wanted to provide a welcome to the site. I too am new to my boat and leery of going out too far. There's great fishing out at stellwagon bank, but I may wait a few seasons before venturing out there.
