[QUOTE="smackdaddy53, post: 368606, member: 10154"] Left the house at 4 am and arrived at the shop to pick up my motor. These guys at Texas Outboard Rebuild are top notch. They had all my paper work ready to sign and the rest in a nice folder so it was in and out. They broke in the motor for the first 4 hours and it is up to me to finish the powerhead/new lower unit break in this weekend. I got home around 3:00pm and got her mounted and started assessing what I need to pick up tomorrow to finish the install and have her ready to go Sunday bright and early. I will get it all buttoned up tomorrow along with the trim tabs/jackplate switches and wiring installed. I am going with a blinker style switch for my jack plate on the left side of my steering and putting the trim tab switch panel right above my motor controls if it looks good there. If not, I will mount them on the vertical panel somewhere easy to access while under way. The motor is trimmed all the way in and jack plate is all the way down in the picture. I get 5" more vertical travel with the jack plate. I will find out if my compression plate helps maintain water pressure. If it doesn't, I will fabricate a low water pickup. Here she is!
