On my 32 even with jackplates I'm scared to death that someone is going to lean on trim button or it gets stuck and wipes out my cowls and tears up paint so I decided to tear down offshore ram and install limiter . Do have same concern ?

I have'nt decided where I'm installing trim buttons yet.
Installing limiters on trim rams is cool. How did you do that?

Also I'm working on the dash area of the Skater. I've got all those gauges and carbon fiber sitting around taking up space

Here's what I'm working with. Even though the painted areas on dash will be covered with the carbon fiber, I think it's still a good idea to mask off with tape, it sure is easier to mark holes with tape there anyway

Looks great !!! I siimply removed ram from offshore clamp , removed cap and installing a alum spacer . I cant complete task until I have mids mounted on boat with cowls to see how far and can be tilted up . The reason I'm doing it I have seen damage many times before infact that is how I wound up with the cowls I have now which I repaired
