if you've got the money, change it over to bravo sys. you will need from the transom assy back, and it will bolt up to existing cut out, may have to drill a couple of new hole's and modify the cut out a little, but it will work.

Since you have to buy everything anyway, might as well go with Bravo's. There is a marine flea market coming up in Dania March 18-21, you may be able to pick up the stuff used at a good price there, or buy used from someone here.
