The engine is a 2004 - Has 30 hours on it - Got it from a guy who had it on a Carolina Skiff - he decided he wanted a bigger motor - I got a sweet deal on it so I figured why not. The prop isn't even missing a chip of paint. You cannot tell this motor is not new - He gave me the tach with hour display and gave me a factory service manual to boot.

Dont want to throw more money at it until Im sure it will make me happy. [img]http://www.whalercentral.com/images/photoalbum_3/useralbum_14/hondacontrols_t1.jpg[/img] So whats left to do.... Mount the tach on the console - Debating that one - I really dont think I want to mount it next to the steering wheel - it will become a water dish - If I mount on the part by my knees it will be hard to see.... Not sure - suggestions are welcome. - I also have to mount the battery and battery box. Thinking port rear - Help offset some of my weight - Nowhere near enough but its a start..lol Then I have to get her ready for a test run.

You've really done a great job with it. Tom 1979 Sport 15'

Thanks for the compliments. It really has been hard working two projects at once. Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

I mounted a factory honda tach and trim guage and I used angled bezels to angle them a little better in my view as well as to help shed water. NOTE: If you are using a factory honda tach check the diameter its 3-1/8" a little smaller then the norm, the only one I found that made a bezel that size was lavorsi marine used one on the tach and trim guage came out great. No water puddling either
