We're going the side-mount throttle control as well. Great layout you have here. Do you have nay idea what length cables you used on your side-mount install? Or maybe you have the fly-by-wire throttle? They don't have that option with my 2015 250 Opti!

It's fly by wire

Waiting on the weather to break for an evening shake down. Too wet to get the rub rail installed but she doesn't look too rough to be seen at the ramp....

Got a break with the evening storms and we were able to get her on the water. Being so familiar with the hull and power i was immediately impressed with the improvement in ride and speed gained. I was previously running an 16x18 PowerTech which was not quite enough pitch but pulled heavy dive loads well in seas. For this build I started with 16x20 Zuke prop and she pulled it to 5800 @ 45 knots with 137 gallons of fuel below the deck.

Spent most of the re-orienting the AP and initializing the auto pro tabs. Everything worked great. Mel much enjoyed the new creature features and lighting. Still lots of little things to do but all in all the refit has exceeded expectations. It all has been well worth the time effort and expense.

Happy Admiral...
