wow, mighty mouse is going to be even more impressive?? Can't wait to see her when she is done.
Very cool deck lifting setup.
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.

Add thru hull, bottom mounted water pick up.
Mount extra trim pump for Rocker Plate and bilge pump.
