Bracket and Engines Mounted

We have mounted the bracket and engines over the past few weeks with pops at the wheel. The bracket went on relatively easy, we had to add a couple of pieces of starboard as spacers in a few sections in order allow the bolts to grab enough.

We also installed the first portion of the hydro-steering with the tie bar, put a coat of paint in the bilge, mounted and wired the bilge pumps and raw water pump and I finally convinced Phil to cut a hole in the bottom of the boat for the raw water pick-up. After that convincing, we mounted the pick-up and the seacock. Then we got pissed off when Jake threw a pic with 1:50 left in the game and Miami beat the Panthers so we called it a day.

Here are the pics:
