Got some work accomplishedlast week. With the help of some torches and alot of wrench turning I managed to separate my 25" mid section from a stock clamp and install it onto a single piston Offshore clamp with the high performance 1-piece stack adapter. Then I installed the tilt tube for the side steer and mounted the entire assembly onto the Gil Bracket. Next I hooked up all the external steering rams. I also intalled a new "old stock" deck hatch, polished my shifter/throttle box, removed the old batteries, cleaned the bilge, and cleaned/conditioned the only seat I left in the boat (drivers's seat of course)! Getting closer step by step. Still have to swap out the lower powerhead studs for longer studs to reach through the 1-piece adapters, mount the second powerhead, run new fuel lines, service the lower units with new water pumps & gear oil, and mount the trim pumps..I'll get some pics posted..
