I have only prepared for fresh water bladder. Installed water filler where oil tank fill was and ran wire from the accessory switch. Kind of an odd space so taking my time.

Thanks again Sir Jim !! The info you provide is amazing.
So where does one find the MSRP prices for ETEC G2 outboards and accessories.
I also read that during re-power that the ETEC motor should be mounted in the 2nd transom hole. This is a standard 25" motor, not a 20" correct?
