[QUOTE="murphy67, post: 419501, member: 21244"] Didn't really get alot of time this weekend on the boat, due to kids and such...but did get a few things done so figured I would share: Remote steering cable was pretty rough at transom: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160807_152637.jpg"]87143._xfImport[/ATTACH] So I covered it with some self fusing silicone tape: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160807_153519.jpg"]87144._xfImport[/ATTACH] Next I finished routing the speedometer pilot tube through siderail, and installed the pilot and connected it: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160807_155011.jpg"]87145._xfImport[/ATTACH] and finally installed the much needed beverage holder to finish the console: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160807_155039.jpg"]87146._xfImport[/ATTACH] Outside of that, I vacuumed the siderails and splash guard area in prep for flooring...amazing what a little cleaning can do, especially after many years without. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160807_181514.jpg"]87147._xfImport[/ATTACH] I also was able to get a battery connected to test all of my new wiring finally, and the only issue was that my voltmeter was not working...but after reading about it a bit online today...seems many had the same issue as me with the same one....and turns out the poles in the back are opposite of what they should be...as in, copper pole connector being negative, and silver being positive, where as the USB ports i installed were reversed. Anyways...pretty happy most everything worked right out of the gates. Hoping to get my wood this week! [/QUOTE]
