My batteries and 30 gallon fuel tank will be under my console. I guess I will mount the motor this weekend temperally and splash it and see where I stand.

After thinking about it long and hard I'm gonna be building the splash well with the angled floor towards the transom to drain. SMOKE does it for wide open to the bilge under that angled floor on that splash well? Or is the main floor still intact but with acess to the bilge pumps?

my floor stops at the front of the splashwell and I have an access door to get under the splashwell for access to pumps and such. You could enclose the front of yours the same way or just leave an opening.... How does your floor height compare to mine?

Heres the measurements for the transom, My true floor height is 13 1/2 inches off the keel. Im gonna build the angle floored splash well but I need some specs.

#1 how high is the "curb" or wall height off the sole(floor)

#2 how deep is the splash well(inside measurement from transom to wall) so I know how deep to make for tilting motor?

#3 whats the angle of the pan in the splash well (low point referenced off 20" transom offset) and (high point referenced off top of "curb" or wall?

Then after I build the splash well I can mount the motor and figure out after i launch what way to drain the deck. If I find out my sole is high enough off water level then I will put the ball scuppers on either side of splash well at deck level. If the floor is lower or at water level then I will cut half circled in the bottom of the splashwell wall to allow deck water to then drain into the sump that I have installed assisted by a bilge pump.

Does this sound like a plan? SMOKE and REEL thanks for all the help fellas!!!!!

Yep, I already gave you most of those measurements....My deck drains go into my splashwell btw.... waves can't crash into them that way.
I'll get you more measurements in the near future

If our numbers are correct your floor is 5" lower than mine.... BUT you likely measured right at the transom and my floor stops quite a ways ahead of the transom... The floor angles up as it goes forward so I'll have to get you a distance from the transom to measure... I got to thinking, I could draw you some templates from my splashwell if you want and mail em too ya.

Im not gonna be able to go to the exact factory size. I'm gonna have to munipulate the a little to incorporate my steering and control cable Chase. Really now all I need is height off floor for the wall and inside measurement from transom to front wall or "curb"
