I have just finnished the transom work. Whew, what a chore...

I've started to do some of the things that were planned before the mulch project.

First, engine bay. New paint and diamond plate. Before pics...

good boy

Am I missing something? What are all the pumps mounted on the bulkhead for? 2 for the drive trim (one each) and 2 for the tabs (one each). What are the other 2?

Brian,
Are your battery trays screwed down to the bottom of the boat or are they bolted thru the stringers?
Thanks,
Dan

Pach,

The outboard two are for hatch lifts. Fountain robbed the parts bin and used an old hydraulic cylinder that was originally an assist for 400 TRS cable steering. I know this because I had one that was leaking. Robert Toll (sp?) from Fountain gave me the scoop. They use the same pumps as k-plane/outdrive but lowered the pressure so as not to blow the seals out.

Dan,

They have two screws in the bottom of the tray and two bolts through the stringer.

As an aside, for everyone that has complained about Fountain service the people that I have spoken with at the factory have been more than helpfull. They know that I have an old boat that I'm trying to get working. Each person has spoken with me as though I've met them before. Thanks Fountain!

A little more finnish work, then ready for power.

What 'cha think?

Last one for now...

looks good!!

Thank you.

Bryan looks pretty sweat, I will be sending you my boat to do over the off season
