Here's the thing I learned... with these mods done the boards work better at pulling heavy stuff (ie 300 copper) BUT they will run worse at pulling lighter stuff (shallow diver). Once you do these mods the boards are pretty much dedicated to running heavier stuff. I have a 3 sets of un-modified boards for browns/walleye and 2 sets of modified ones for running coppers and leadcore.

I just ballparked mine, it’s not that it has to be at exactly 45* at a specific location. The whole idea is to raise the point where the line attaches to the board.

This is pretty much a universal mount for larger electronics, guy i bought it from used it on an HDS 12 and I was going to use it on a Helix 10. I decided to go a different way with mounting mine. https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-D-111U-C $75 shipped -
Inline boards will never run even close to as wide a big boards. No matter what mods you do to them. They simply weren’t designed to run like that.

60ft to the side is prolly about right depending on what you’re pulling. So you’re not comfortable running 2 boards in a 60ft space? I doubt my outside board is ever more than 50ft off the side when running doubles and I have room to run a third IMO. How far away do you want the board to run?
-
something isn’t right... I pull full size thunderstick divers running 25ft deep off unmodified boards with no problems. Never tried 3 boards but I run 2 per side just about every time I’m out. I modified a set just like they said to and they pull 300 coppers just like they said they would do. Both offshore and church make a larger inline board as well. If I ran longer than 300 coppers more often I wouldn’t hesitate to try those.

I have a brand new Ranger net model 9855tfb. This is the 34”x30” hoop, rubber net, with extendable octagon handle 54”-84”. Still has tags on it. Pickup only in the Utica-Rome area. Or I fish out of Mexico on the weekends. $90 -
Depends on what your intended use is... If you're looking to talk to people and monitor things like chatter/weather a handheld isn't the best choice. If you're looking for something as a safety precaution then a handheld is suitable and much better than not having anything.

I understand the added benefit of a 2nd tank, but I'm only running an 18ft boat so space is at a premium to begin with. I spend most of my fishing time on oneida lake for walleye and only make maybe 10 trips to ontario a year. I'm also very vigilant about the weather when I go out, being in such a small boat. I have alot of respect for Lake O and don't even attempt to go out in even remotely sketchy conditions.

We used to go out of Albany every mother’s day weekend. Never bought bait, we used sabiki rigs and jigged up our own herring. Always had best luck with live herring. We used baitrunner reels with a 2oz pyramid sinker on a slider, 30lb flouro leader to a 4/0 octopus hook. I believe they call this a “fish finder rig”. Toss it out and let it sit, once they pick it up let them run with it for a few seconds (reason for the baitrunner reels) and then set the hook! They are a blast to catch and really good to eat as well.

With your setup you are definitely going to want to switch the primer ball to the OUT side of the F/W. But you could save some money and keep the F/W you have now and just install a 3-way shutoff valve after the F/W then primer balls to both motors and you would be all set. Your setup looks pretty easy to access so a manual ON/OFF valve shouldn't be an issue for you. Reason I want a 4 port F/W is because it doubles as a T letting me go 1 IN and 2 OUT, plus added benefit of the F/W itself.

Definitely a few different ways of doing it... I'm still going with my original plan though. Main tank IN to F/W separator with anti-siphon (check) valves on both OUTs, followed by individual primer balls to each motor. The 3 way valves with a shutoff is probably the most fool-proof way to do it, but you have to manually switch the fuel on/off. Where I want to put my stuff isn't the easiest place to get to so I'm trying to avoid that. With the check valves on the F/W and inside the primer balls, there shouldn't be any issues sucking air/fuel from which ever motor is off at the time. I'm still doing a little research but seems like my plan should be ok.

I read a few posts on other sites where guys that used the bulbs as anti-siphon (check) valves, had the kicker bulb sucked completely flat by the main motor. They ended up installing some kind of check valve before the bulb to avoid possibly breaking/splitting the bulb. Not to mention now there is air in the line up to the bulb that you would need to pump full of fuel before the kicker would start. I figure with a check at the F/W separator you wouldn't have that issue.
