Great job, Larry! I've got potentially stupid question about that cool rigging tube. Will you use a priming bulb for the fuel line? If the line goes in the rigging tube, where do you put the bulb? I've been wondering about this for years

Thanks,
Will

The metal flange came from Boatstoreusa.com. It is T-H Marine RG-1CP-DP 2 Rigging Flange chrome plates. The texture of that flange is a little off, but it is the only one I could find.

The rigging tube came from Shipyard Island Marine -- SimYamaha.com. Yamaha rigging seems to be purposefully difficult for non-Yamaha dealers/techs to understand, and there are any number of different ways to connect the controls and gauges to the engine outputs. Andy Jr. at SimYamaha is an absolute master when it comes to explaining different options and helping to order the required parts. I have talked to him several times, and he is a great resource. Very patient.

Will, the line goes through the rigging tube and into the hull somewhere accessible to meet the fuel filter, the priming bulb is usually between the filter and the end of the rigging tube.

Yes, the primer bulb will be inside the motor well, before the line enters the rigging tube.

The boss is coming by today for inspection, I better get ready

You can use one of these if you want to put the primer bulb in the motor well.

Rogerdog came down today and I put him to work, he ain't going to stand around and watch me have all the fun by myself We masked and sanded and Kiwi Gripped the rear seat and front deck. Now he is a KG expert and he's pretty good with a razor knife too. They came out real nice. No pictures yet, he didn't leave until dark and I didn't take any. Also got the horn mounted and the trim tab gyroscope thingy for the auto-tab controller installed. Still plenty left to do, but not nearly as much as there was.
