I used it to mount a long shaft Merc (20") to the short (16") transom of my 1448 Lowe. Sold the boat and...

    Aluminum Console?

    Everything in your boat that is electrical should be "home run". That is, an individual ground and an individual positive. I would NOT recommend using the hull as a ground like in a vehicle. Use a QUALITY fuse block (Blue Seas) and it will have both connections.

Ya'll have to remember something, while in freshwater the Striper is at the TOP of the food chain while in saltwater they are nothing more than bait for fish farther up the chain. Ever seen a Striper with...
