Re: Kill Switch

call c&c marine in modesto. i got mine from there. pretty easy to hook up. just tap some wires. not exactly sure what colors you need to tap into since i don't know how your ign is set up. ask the techs over at their shop for advise. they were pretty helpful to me.

why wouldn't you want to fish clear lake and the delta every year to start you season? wasn't clear lake nominated the best bass fishing lake in the nation with the cali delta in a close 3rd?
