I always wanted to do mine also, I had 75 I/O and all went to he bildge.

After converting to bracket I said I was going to just go stright out the back, after all as long as its at deck level and above the water line who cares!

Higher then the water line is great cause you never have to worry about the water coming in the boat like some do!!

But I never got to it cause I was busy doing other things all the time and I had to find away to make the water stop going to the bildge, see I had the I/O box and had to put a lip on it to reroute the water away from there, then I had 2 fish boxes in the floor that drained to the bildge and there was no way to water proof them??

So there was to many ways for water to get to bildge so as I was trying to figure it all out, I fixed other stuff, and then after 9 years sold it last summer, so I no have to worry about it now!

Good Luck!
