[QUOTE="Hustler16, post: 407818, member: 20692"] So after I got the boat home and stared at it for a few days I started tearing everything out of it as shown in the previous pictures. Mistake 1 - was not taking as received pictures. Mistake 2 - was not really paying a lot of attention to where things were before ripping them out, most importantly electrical stuff. I didn't really have a plan, except I wanted to rebuild the boat into a bass boat, which included rewiring. Mistake 3 - not really having a plan first. It was not until I ripped everything out that I started searching what I wanted this thing to look out and how to do it. Lesson learned... Have a plan and pay attention to how things were not really to repeat but at lease to have an idea of what it should look like when you replace. Here is what I came up with as a plan, only after I tore everything out including the console that I wanted to remount further back for more front deck: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160212_204230.jpg"]82700._xfImport[/ATTACH] Console move picture is hard to see, but once you do that you are in for several more expenses, steering cables and in some cases controls for your outboard. If I would of known I was going to have so much trouble with my steering cable I would not have messed with it.[ATTACH type="full" alt="20151025_154928.jpg"]82704._xfImport[/ATTACH] You can see if you turn your head sideways that it was moved back around 16" from the non faded area.
