looks good and good luck with it.
do not take this wrong but only as good advice - on your wiring and the crimps I would have used heat shrink crimps or you can put heat shrink sleeves over the exposed portion and use a hair dryer to seal it or use liquid neoprene - I would do this on all crimped connections that are exposed. - even ground wiring and all cables if not already done. Not only it seals the wires to the crimp from moisture & corrosion - it also helps to keep the wire in place rather than an open crimp. . just saying and again solid advice especially being Florida and any salt water boating that might take place. .

Went for a quick ride today with my boy and we now officially have an 80 mph boat. Gonna send the props out this winter as we were on the limiters and I think there might be another mile or two in it.
