Thanks for the offer, Terry. I'll let you know if I need any measurements.
Dan, I’ll keep an eye on clearance for the drain hose. My garboard plug is on the starboard side, so if the drain hose is on the port, I may have to do what your dad did and put a conventional plug in it.
So I’ve done a bunch of little stuff. Here are some pics:
Decals for the drive and gimbal housing
I also installed the trim rams and pump so I could verify the health of the system after sitting up for over a year. After running some fluid through it, it looks pretty good. Started out a little stiff, but worked the squeaks out of it with a few in/out cycles.
I’ve installed clam shells and sea cocks for two through hulls. There’s a 1 ¼” for engine cooling water:
And a ¾” for the live well and raw water washdown:
Installed the water tank and got started on the plumbing:
Last but not least, I installed the garboard.
The only hole left to plug is the one where the outdrive goes. Hey, I may actually have her floating this year.
