[QUOTE="Ride_Klein, post: 230558, member: 6976"] Tonight I removed the keel 16" in front of the tunnel intake, drilled and sealed rivets, snapped a few more pictures, and then sat and made vroom vroom noises for a few minutes as I contemplated layout options. Here's a shot of the access window I cut in the aluminum box that I used for the front engine mount. [ATTACH type="full" alt="JSJB - Front engine mount - access window.jpg"]30474._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here's a shot of the 1.5" aluminum angle brackets around the transom. [ATTACH type="full" alt="JSJB - Tunnel mounting - angle brackets.jpg"]30475._xfImport[/ATTACH] Bottom view of the intake tunnel looking from the transom forward. You can also see where I removed the keel in an effort to clean up the water coming into the pump. (Thanks PSG) [ATTACH type="full" alt="JSJB - Tunnel intake - Stern view.jpg"]30476._xfImport[/ATTACH] View looking at the pump housing pushed through the transom. Shows the rideplate a little better. Time will tell if I made the right decision keeping that rideplate. [ATTACH type="full" alt="JSJB - Tunnel - Transom.jpg"]30477._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
