Default ANY TIPS installing dual Ram IMCO hydraulic steering between BRAVOS?

I'm installing IMCO dual RAM Hydraulic steering on my boat this week or next week. I've never attempted this before and looking for some tips on alignment and placement of transom brackets so its spot on. I'm going from the inside of drives for a center mount set up. I know we have alot of folks that have done this. Please share your knowledge and mistakes so I can attempt this with confidence. Any help is definately appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Go on the Imco site, I think you can either download the instructions or at least there is some good diagrams of mounting measurements. Plus what diggity said and rams should be on line with gimble bearings.

Ron from Imco has been great and sending me instructions with some parts. Just looking as to how folks go about it. Some I hear use a laser level others use a square. I know if its off just a fraction of an inch you can have some unwanted stress on gimble ring upon docking. Just want to make it as easy as possible. Thanks for reply.
