Making the push to get ready for hanging the motor. Three coats of perfection on the transom and was able to bolt on the bracket. Its been hot and it was tough to prevent the sweat dripping off my head from hitting the areas I was painting !

Looks like a beautiful paint job. I can't wait to see the rub railing installed. Like a frame on a picture.

Where are you running fuel and steering lines?

Fuel lines are run down the center and up thru the starboard aft corner. I just ran the hydraulic steering lines today. I put a 3" pvc pipe up under the starboard gunnel.

New deck drain tubes, flaring tool in place, taped to make cleaning up the 5200 easier. Hydraulic jack plate bolted in place ready for new Zuke. Steering installed.

Safe trip Cap.

It was a safe trip, thanks Mud. It was a long trip though. Just over 3 hours to clear the GW.
Expressway was closed down to one lane for "construction". GW was down to 2 lanes. It should have been 6.5 hrs, took us 9hrs.

Stopped in on the install ...... 40 something years of doing everything on my boats myself including rigging, made it hard to drop the boat off this morning at Sandpiper Marine. My friend Bob tried to as best he could to convince me it would be ok. We stopped in this afternoon ..... I was very impressed with the work and felt way better. It's looking good! They are going to take it for a ride tomorrow and make sure everything is good.

She's got legs, and she'll know how to use them.

I know she'll exceed your expectations...

No, not yet anyway ....... the mechanic that did the install said it was a pleasure doing the install and said it was a very nice job compared to some he has worked on.
