Today I actually turned the prop and pushed the boat fore and aft in the slip with the new electric setup. I still need to drill mounting holes in the fiberglass engine bed stringers to anchor the new motor mount base rails, and do final alignment and bolt it all down. Testing was at low power with the mount not properly bolted down, and #4 temporary cables for easier handling and moving components. I will be using 2/0 cable throughout, when everything is complete. I might go ahead and finish mounting the mount, wiring the wire, and take a little boat ride this evening, just for fun. No meters yet... I will install them tomorrow.
