Default RE: First gasser, Prestwich Sigma51

Not wrong but on the cooling I prefer to have the outlet on the portside deck near to where it exits from the pipe. The reason is that you can then see it clearly as the boat goes past and see any problems. Having it to the rear of the boat or out the transom you loose the telltale in the wash and roostertail.

- Bracket for pipe - make sure it is rubber mounted as well, I like to use stainless [link=http://www.hjertmans.se/webshop/artiklar/artiklar.asp?rubnr=539&artname=]P-clips[/link] and a rubber engine mount.
- T-bar for stuffing tube, you can use a ply bracket as well if you feel the need to get on the water sooner rather than later (don't we all!!!).
- Floatation - DON'T forget some flotation for the hatch....
