Talking Ray- ST450's?

Ray, have you looked into Teague's ST450's? Check them out --I think they are the style you are looking for. I have them on my Fountain. Keep up the good work. I have followed your product since day one.

I have been working on the plumbing and wires. I almost have the transom done. I spruced up the Fresh water flushes. I painted the brackets with Epoxy paint, the stuff you use on appliances. It looks much better. I also attached the pipe with a 1 3/8" x 2 1/2 x 5/16" U bolt instead of the hose clamp. I also ground down the valve body so it sits flat on the bracket. ( I like details)

Bilge area, It's taking much longer than expected but I only can work 1 or 2 hours a day. Next thing that goes in is the sea strainers.
