Re: took her under the knife (need some opinions)
I've been admiring your project here. I've got a '20 Mako I'm finally riging after a loooong rebuild. Some of the issues you talk about I've dealt with as well. For instance, the weight transfer....moving two batteries under the console at 50# - 70# each, depending on the type, seems like it would easily make up for the new 'zuke. I moved mine forward as well. I went with the Trollfury setup. Both batteries and box are 134#. The thing to remember is now the run of the battery cables are 5x's longer than before.....
You need to upsize the wire (diameter) to account for the voltage drop and heat. As for the transom issue, I just helped a buddy do his on a Grady, I suggest using a piece of luan door skin to cut a template before you cut the expensive stuff! (lesson learned the hard way by many!) just my .02.. Look forward to seeing more pics.
