C'mon now ! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] I still see it work'n ! There's too many cranes , forklifts, other Heavy equipment,Custom apps. If you were to use Platinum shift cables (I remembered) These can almost be in a 90* angle and still shift smooth as silk as in mine. Just secure the cables ,hyd. lines to the console * LOOP * them, secure to the deck entrance.This would allow the movement.Wrap with chafing net etc. Gotta work ! ? Theres some pretty flexiable hyd. lines out there, may have to get them made up. Stock should work. as for as the wiring same run. the trick is the LOOP ! Oh yea Gotta see those POWER RAMS to raise it up & Down ! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]Man0Man !
Where there's $$ there's a way !

How about this: If it does turn out to be a problem (i hope not though) It should not be a huge problem to take off the throttl linkage, and hydrolic lines when I want to get at the engine right? Would I have to bleed the hydrolic lines everytime before I re-attached. I probably will be having Metan Marine in Rockland MA do most of the work. I have seen some of the work they have done on Seacrafts and it looks very nice. Check out the website:
www.metanmarine.com
Thanks for the replys guys. Still looking for a good chartplotter/fishfinder combo.

LOL- Hey Tug- i didnt say it couldnt be done- but i still think its going to be a bitch!!!!! Some good hydraulic hose and swivel fittings should get er done. The throttle and shift cables are very tough to get right for whatever reason and i think chance might have to run them normal and disconnect them when he needs to raise the hood.lol- ketchin any fish down there???

If you disconnect them and reconnect them you will have to bleed the system. That would be a PITA just to get a good view of the motor.

Quick disconnect hydraulic fittings are available - I have used them on brake systems on race cars - to facilitate removal and replacement of rear axle housings. We did not have to bleed the brakes. Sources would be Aeroquip or Wilwood.

all great ideas and thoughts, thanks for that. I am still going to try to have everything stay connected. If that doesen't I will have to get creative i guess. thanks guys.

Hey, another question for ya: If I get a plotter/fishfinder unit can I use my current thru hull transducer or do I have to install another one?
