I have to see if I can just loosen the anode screw and slip the fin under the anode. The anode I assume is because in salt water it ends up being sacrificial but I don't think it is an issue in freshwater. The other option is to reduce the size which is a bit big.

I run a Yamaha 6hp in freshwater from a trailer, not sitting in the water for long periods of time. Is the anode attached to the cavitation plate necessary? I would like to remove the anode to install some fins. Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Though I haven't done exactly what you are doing, I have built wood boats. To get the shape of the deck I would make an undersize template. Cut a triangle of wood, say 6" on a side. Set the template in place. Position a corner of the triangle against the hull and trace the triangle on...

I'm new to the forum and to motor boats for fishing. I bought a 12' Lund which is too small but what I could afford to get on the water. The boat is in nice shape and has a 6 hp Yamaha and sits on a jet ski trailer. So far my only gripe with the boat is that my 200# holds down the transom...
