I will be putting a lifting point in the ceiling of my storage building to pull the generator more easily.
There are several variations of mounting the generator. I think Nort's in in the center under the rear seat (there is an old thread here somewhere in the Formula section). Lynn Keller's '98 is also in the center, but behind the rear seat with exhaust out the transom. Mine is mounted on the port side with exhaust out the port side. I can grab pics of my exhaust location and Lynn's generator when the season opens here.

Any pics are greatly appreciated.
