Winter Work...
New 60gal fuel cell. Move rear tank bulkhead back next to battery location.
Rewire and fasten wires & steering hoses. The loose wires will go to two switches on the throttle. One switch controls the drive trim, the other controls both rocker plates together. I still can use the dash mounted tab switch to control the Rocker Plates individually.
