And just so you don't think I was messing around all day- pulled the engine so I can replace the pan and exhaust, looking at the bilge I think I am going to paint it, recommendations?

You need to look into oil coolers and remote oil filters...I wish I did. Nice tranny Ditch the exhaust and heat exchanger...the motor is hiding under all thoses hoses.

OK- so I got the trim tabs on today- and got the shifter mounted in the dash, got the little cable ends from Mercury($34 bucks a piece, they see you coming on that one) got the right cables from Eddie Marine, the wrong U bolts, etc.
I also got my manifolds, the set I got off EBAY are aluminum, and the set I got from Teague are cast, so I think I am search of another set of manifolds. The exhaust gaskets that came with them were destroyed too- so I didn't get that done.
Tomorrow is prep the bilge for paint day so I will shoot some more photos and post them if I make some progress.
