I drilled the holes for the steering helm, then when the removable steering wheel adapter came in it needed a bigger hole. I was trying to figure out how to hole saw a bigger hole when there is nothing for the pilot bit. I put some bigger bolts in the holes used to bolt the helm and let them be the hole saw guide. It worked pretty good.

A few pages back we had another boat on my trailer and from measuring it we knew mine would not fit. They had to modify the trailer moving the bunks down and to the starboard a little. Now it is back together and the boat fits.

I made it back up here to skater at 3 am so I did not have time to make much of a dyno video but here is a start.
Tried to get it to show up on here didn't work?

Way to go, McGyver.
Total rookie question: In case of a large enough hull breach, such that pumps cannot keep up, can the water intake be modified with a mechanism to close and redirect intake from the bilge. Permits the engines to assist the pumps. (Maybe I've watched too many SciFi movies.)

We have had to do it before. We shut the intake valve and took sea strainer lid off

I sort of feel ripped off!
