[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 87338, member: 1523"] 4-11-09 Another small update since the server crash... Spent some time getting the transom cap and corner braces removed, welded some more frame sections in and finally made the fuel selector plate and mounted it on the front bulkhead of the rear deck. Made a recess out of 1" angle and left the top chunk missing so I could put a green light up above the switches that will shine down on the floor at night, but not be visible, so no glare from the bulb. Did the same on the port side. [img]https://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/Ranchero50/Boat/Seadoo%20Swap/P1010082.jpg~original[/img] I also welded in a plate for the electrical box to mount to and started on the fuel and oil tank installation. I made a plate for the fuel and oil fills to mount in and have to mount it to the side of the hull above the decking. I'm thinking about fabbing a 2" stainless pipe for the fuel fill and just mounting the oil tank below the oil fill. So many little things to think about...
