[Yamaha 8hp outboard throttle cable]

The only way to check is to look through the carburettor and make sure the throttle butterfly is fullly horizontal. You can do this by turning the throttle to maximum throttle then remove an cover at the carburettor inlet opening look through and make sure butterfly is perfectly horizontal. If not then an adjustment is required. Possible by cable or linkage make sure there no broken or missing rollers in linkage or cable could be stretched.

[Panoptiix livescope]

Has anyone used this in saltwater. Looks the goods but big outlay seems like cheating what are your thoughts 

[Plumbing the outlet of a livebait tank]

Externally would be you ideal option but there is nothing to take the weight fixings would be in sheer on an aluminium transom could cause problems. Don’t be afraid to drill holes into your hull done correctly with the right fittings and sika no problems. Keep your bait tank as low as possible this will help with the handling of your boat remember weight distribution is very important your boat looks pretty heavy at the rear already with full fuel and battery. Depending on capacity do a trial with it full and move it to different locations before cutting holes for drainage spend the time it will be worth it cheers David.

[How To Fit Transom Bait Board?]

To achieve what you want which is ideal, you need to connect to the transom coming, you will need custom fabricated mounts bolted through. The method would allow freedom of a removable bait board and extra rod holders at the transom.  

[Yamaha gear oil]

 Penrite gear oil will be fine they manufacture for the big boys just re labeled with a different price tag.

[Horizontal Velcro rod holder]

Looks good. Be sure to remove any burs from the cuts  as these will cut through very quickly with movement. But super easy to replace less cumbersome than plastic *C* clips.
