It's been a while since I've done an update, that's mostly due to the fact that that I haven't been getting much done. I've been chipping away at things here and there, but it's just little things every weekend that hardly add up to a blog post. The engine is about 85% installed, I just need to hook up an ignition switch and the fuel line.
This was my project for the weekend. The previous owner sold the engine controls with the old engine, and it wasn't practical to use the side mount controls that came with the Honda outboard, so I bought this NOS Morse control off of eBay. They didn't quite fit the pedestal right, and there was no good way to mount the fishfinder / chartplotter, so I acquired some teak planks, busted out my mediocre (at best) carpentry skills and made this spacer/ adapter board. Not perfect, but given my limited access to carpentry tools I'm fairly satisfied with it.
