The Optimax 150 probably does not have the fly-by wire so then you have to do the throttle & shift cables as well. Still not as bad as it might seem. Battery cables, main harness and secondary Smartcraft harness if installed, pitot tube for speedometer or manual water pressure (if equipped) throttle & shift cables. If you don't spin the adjustment barrels on the control cables it should fall back in place without further adjustment. Adjustments for timing and link and sync are quite simple on an Optimax, there aren't any.. it is purely done by the computer.
All the modern Opti's can use the Smartcraft Gauges but Smartcraft does not necessarily mean it is fly-by- wire. The motors that are fly-by wire will be designated DTS - I assume it to stand for "Digital Throttle and Shift".
MJ has the best idea I have seen in a while. Xcept for the zipper, maybe use some HD Velcro?
