hydro steering - tilt/trim

No pics this week but we were able to hook up the majority of the electronics that were only dry fit earlier. We now have lights, gauges, trim tabs and working tilt and trim from the new controls and the hydro steering. We mounted the trim tabs and will bleed those lines out a little later. Fuel/water separator was mounted and we have throttle/gear cables in route for the next session. We are optimistically thinking that an initial test run is drawing very near.

Dry Fit

We decided to cut the holes and begin to dry fit the boat with the instruments, rod holders, cleats, chocks, downrigger mounts, etc. We also mounted the steering column and the gas fill cover. My buddy Ian suprised me with a offer to help and he painted the transom area and saved us a day.
Here is the instrument panel with the hour meters, tachs, fuel, fuse panel, trim controls, ignition switches, compass, GPS, and throttle.
