I have most the wiring and plumbing done, I still have to put in the big sea strainers and re work the battery area. The amount of wires and hose really makes it look messy bu I am not about to re invent the wheel.

I did add a connection to the freshwater flush system to the generator. I am still waiting on the valve to ship. Doesn't make sence that fountain would leave this out.

You are doing an incredible job. That is a tremendous amount of wires & hoses!

Thanks, I'm off to Ft Lauderdale and Aruba for a week. So no work on the 47 for a while. When I get back I will finalize the bilge and be ready to drop the engines in.

Here are some progress pictures. I am having Rod (RPM) at Performance Marine in WI. Finish up the engine and drive installation as well as a few upgrades - Pre Lubers and water pressure relief valves. Pictures are from Rod:
