Thanks Cody! Looking forward to getting all the rigging set up. I can almost begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.... won't be long before things start thawing out.

Drilled my first virgin..........transom that is. When the mounting holes were laid out, they were raised 1.5" higher than the original stock positions. This was done so that there would be plenty of "above the pad" travel. There is 4-7/8th inches of travel in the jackplate, pretty sure there is alot of room there for dailing-in.

Used some leftover plywood to fab a battery tray/hold down for the Optima battery. Glassed in some wing plates so the battery can be bolted to the stringers, that will be supporting it.
