			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.
