As far as not being centered, you steer with your left anyways so it's centered with your left arm. Right?

Lots of sawing and trimming glass this afternoon. Last bits of rotten wood removed from the boat. Started cutting engine stringers.

Fitting everything and trying to plan things out in my head. I’m leaning towards hanging my trim & tab pumps off the bulkhead. Otherwise I’ll have to put platforms back on each side. The advantage to having them on the bulkhead is they stay dry.

After spending much time on measuring I figured out how wellcraft did it. They put the stringers in the ballpark THEN drilled the offshore mounts to make up the difference. Notice this original offshore mount almost has the holes drilled off the edge of the mount!
