Was at a friends house today and of course the talk turned to fishing.He owns a 704 as well myself and many others here.We started to discuss the manual bail conversion.

I did a search here and didn't find much other than a referance to doing it on a 6500ss.

My question is:Is converting a 704 easy to do or would a "pro" be needed?

PS.I plan on drilling drain holes in the rotor cup.Any recommendations on bit size or does it really matter?Where should the holes be...near the center or out towards the edge?
