Yes, your post has actually been a big help. Which steering wheel is that? No biggie getting the lines up to the front, and the cylinder in place of the cable? I'm doing manifolds this year so that should make access to the transom assembly easier. Would have been cake last year when I had the engines out, but oh well. We're going with Simrad NSS 12 evo3, a NSS7 evo3 (with vessel link), Halo 24 radar, AP44 auto pilot display, the pump, controller, HS60 compass, AIS, an rudder sensor. PS I wish our 07 had your 08 dash layout! the NSS12 is a squeeze in that space.
