Thank you both!

I have it at a shop due to an alarm on my 150 VRO but will post pics when I bring her home. I think I've spent 6 hours looking at the threads here in the past 24. So many great mod's. Can't wait to do a new panel and rewire too.

I think I read in a thread that a dremel works well to cut the deck? - for the bilge. I don't think the I/O has the same recessed battery compartment in front of the transom? But it seems logical to drop a bilge pump in that location, right in front of the transom. I will definitely use a platform for it. I don't think my wife will miss a bamboo cutting board ;)

Would also like to get the battery(s) forward into the cuddy ... Previous owner had a power head on the bow with heavy gauge wire so I think I can use that. This boat excitement makes getting old acceptable ...
