Thanks so much Warren!

The photo will really help. I can probably make this one work , if yours is
not that much wider.

Maybe we'll cross paths sometime here. Boat is currently at Lake Hartwell,
but will be moving it to Lake Lanier in another 3 weeks. (38 minute drive
versus 1 hour, 20 minutes plus now).

Thanks and take care!

Sincerely,
