I figured this out by his tone and him feeling my motor from top to bottom. Also if u have a big motor and a 9.9 on a boat, still "disable" the big motor. Just sayin...

Exactly what I was told. Not supposed to leave the engine where it can be used on the water at all.

I have a call into Larry Summerhill at the AGFC Brinkley, AR location. I will give an update when I find out. My local warden said that removing a plug wire, removing the fuel tank (which is not an option for me) would be sufficient for him in his area. He did say however that it would be up to the officer in that area so I'm making sure!!!

I found out that you can get by removing the plug wire, be sure and note removing plug wire not just unhooking it! You can remove the fuel line but it cannot be in the boat, you can remove the fuel tank or remove the prop.

The fine ranges from a minimum of $100.00 up to a maximum of $1,000.00 which is determined by the warden. This came from the AGFC!!!

Jbrewer is correct. You can disconnect the plug wire, fuel line or prop; the main thing is they must be left in the truck, not in the boat. Saw some guys get a ticket there last summer for using a 25 hp motor; cost them $250. The AGFC did a shocking there last week and found good bass numbers, but not many crappie. Bream and shellcrackers aren't on the beds yet but should be soon.

Thanks for both reports.
