The gulfstream is tight here, so live bait is king. I didn`t want to go thru a stringer and was stumped. George said cut out the well. Huh? Oh ok. I can get to anything in a jif now.
I can hold many pounds of prisoners now. Watch the intake flow as the clamshell can ram enough while runnin to overcome the drain. An adjustable intake nozzle is a good idea.
I can also slide my chair forward and the controls fall to hand. I never have to stand , which works great for me. Mock it up over and over to avoid mistakes. I also mounted the shorty on semi permanent pads for removal and console access.
