There really isn't a lot of other places to put it on the inboards... I considered mounting it forward of the raw water pickup but I was too worried that it would interfere with the water flow to the intake.
I know that the b60's lacks a lot of performance compared to what else is out there today but there just is not a lot of available space on the inboards.

Great info thanks guys. Question where is your raw water pickup located? Is it more aft under neath the engine and transmission? I was thinking of putting it on the opposite side of the engine raw water pickup as well.
My livewell thru hull is more forward of the engine, right aft of the battery tray. I think this would be too far forward if I located it on the opposite side?
