Been a frustrating few days. Determined that the lines cannot be removed without taking off the gimbals so.......the lines stay and I am moving forward with stainless bulkheads. I have a hydraulic place local to me and the guy said he can make me up any lines I need all out of braided stainless.
I got all the bilge pumps, blower, trim pumps mounted and wired, The engine compartment is pretty much wired, All engine specific wiring will come in though a millitary type quick disconnect. The entire fuel and electrical system will be mounted on the engines. Started tinkering with the drives, looking to have them media blasted and then repainted, Need to freshen up the external hydraulic sterring rams as they are weathered, Still need to design new tie bar mounts as the existing tie bar mount and steering ram mounts interfere with the exhaust tips. I will see if I can snap some photos. Not to much worth of photos though!

Hey 502 I just replaced my hyd lines which go thru the gimble housing in and down around the trans tailshaft to the bottom manifold on the drive, I had to pull gently and twist at the same time, they came out and I was able to push the new ones thru, it took a while but I got it .

So I have started to compile a list of items I need to get for the outdrives. How can I tell which model TRS I have or does it not matter. Where is a good place to buy TRS parts other then ebay? I need things like new trim ram hydraulic lines both in the boat and out, new driveshaft bellows, etc. Any tips?
