AE-21 Rigging

Post: # 5746Post JUPITER VALERO »

Sorry guys, haven't logged in for a while. My AE-21 is coming along nicely (but slowly). The transom knees are completely rebuilt, the bilge is painted, Panter 4" setback brackets and Detwiler 8" Hyd. Jackplate installed with Bob's backing plates, motor is hung, Mercury Racing Trim Pump mounted to the Transom knee, etc. etc. Here's a link to a Screamandfly thread: http://www.screamandfly.com/showthread.php?214459-AE-21-Rigging-begins!
