Nice project, I forgot I read this thread a while back; sub'd now.
Not taking anything away from you I like the fact that this IS NOT some sort of unlimited funds skys the limit build; its good to see a grass roots/shade tree effort so to speak. I like the cockpit layout. What are you installing for a helm assembly? Are the throttles far enough forward to have a good relationship between holding the wheel, your back against the bolster, and your throttle arm being at at 90 or less?

The black cap that says "oil fill" is for toping off the out-drive fluid and to the right of that is the round sight glass to see it full.

MR. LEIF - Please, You need to reconsider advice / comments on this project, as Mark McManus of Apache has Directed the Original Builds and Rerigs of more Apaches, Cigarettes, other deep vee's and cat's than you have seen in your lietime.
