need info on elmer davis lake!!

I just checked, and it's 10hp. Glad you posted that. I was going to explore that lake myself. So, if I show up with my lil' ol' 15hp runabout, and stay at no-wake speed the whole time, am I going to get hassled?

if the reg is 10 hp then no motor over that can be used. At one time you could idle any size motor on Beaver Lake but that was stopped cos some people couldnt just idle. So I was told no motor over the posted reg could be used at all, that was by a KFW.

What if you have a motor that's over the limit, but don't even start it up? I've looked at some aerial photography of the lake (mapquest), and it looks to me like a small enough lake that I could get around just fine with just a trolling motor. Do I have to take the **** thing off my boat? That's a pain.

I know you could do that several years ago, but do'nt even fire the big motor when loading back up. My Dad had a 9.9 cover on his 15HP.

You don't have to take an oversized motor off your boat -- you just can't run it legally. Trolling motor use only with an oversized motor on the back is legal.
