All of the above, leashes etc. I have two electric scottys on my Seahawk. One with a telescoping boom on the same side as the kicker and a fixed boom on the other side. Works for me. I find a dont need a telescoping boom on the side where the kicker isnt. I used to do the same thing when I had two manual Penns on my old Glas Ply, long boom on the kicker side, short boom on the other. I've used this system since 1985, never had a motor fouled cable yet.
