It's a 1997 model with a short shaft and with power trim. Back to the two Gang switches one for front deck and rear deck. The 4 gang switch is lighted in red,  and has two USB hookups and a cig hookup. I measured them and made a square box to mount them in,  but before mounting I painted the wooden box to match boat it is Battleship Gray. Then mounted the gang switches to it with a back to it,  that I ran screws from the back biard to the deck and all the four corners from top long enough to hold on the switches abd all but still attached to back board. Did the same for rear. But had a door that opens facing the front from side like of deck. There I wired two a Positive and a negative bus which also ran one positive cable and a negative cable to a lithium battery. Also ran wiring from second gang switch in rear of boat in a piece of 1/2" PVC pipe that I painted to. Ran both a positive & negative wire up front to same lithium battery. On each corner of the rear decking is a new 12 volt Marine battery for the outboard motor in a case. And in opposite corner is the second 12 volt Marine battery ran to front rebuilt Minna kota foot controlled trolling motor. And mine already had be rebuilt once,  last owner built a deep fairly long metal livewell between both the passenger and driver seat. Works great.</p></blockquote><p></p>
