Default Drill/Tap Holes in Bravo 1 Rear Cap

Anyone add an IMCO add-on steering kit to your boat? I am doing the install myself, but I am a little hesitant to drill and tap the two extra holes in the outdrive housing for the 2 extra bolts to secure the IMCO rear cap. It doesn't look difficult, but I would like to know what it really takes to do it. Are there any ideas to make it easier?

I installed the 2 extra studs on my bravo. It is not hard. Just make sure you drill ther holes straight and don't go to deep. Put lube on the tap. Good luck
