[QUOTE="Badbagger, post: 304019, member: 5389"] Well played a bit today removing a few things like the fuel gauge (pain in the azz in tight quarters and big mitts). I'm now wondering on my jack plate. I do like the thought of a self contained unit with the pump built into the unit. However, of some concern is the fact that the pump is so close to the salt water and will be exposed and get WET. On the standard units with the separate pump, Bob's recommends they be placed in a DRY area. Now my wondering.... with 4 batteries and an external oil tank I am running out of storage room. I'm thinking I can place the hydraulic pump under the console next to the external oil tank. My question IF anyone knows is the size of the pump. I'm wondering IF the pump will fit into a battery box? Say a group 27 or group 31. Also decided to add to additional gauges. Hour meter on the console and also a water pressure gauge for the jack plate. Just kind of put some circles on the attached pic. Going to cut the console Monday or Tuesday before the run to Sarasota. Last minute decision :LOL2: [/QUOTE]
