Where did you buy your new console switches? Do they fit the original faceplate?

Got them doing an online search..I had to modify face plate 1/16 of an in larger maybe. I used a Dremel tool. Very easy mod.

Water test..gotta change props..gonna bump up n check a 19...also some scupper issues. Water comming in to floor if standing in stern area. I don't want wet feet. Ordering new scupper flaps. Gonna move batteries fwd into console. If that don't fix it when I finish the rebuild of motor. I'm gonna remove the scuppers n glass them in. Re rout floor scupper hoses to go into bilge. I have already added a second bilge pump both wired to separate batteries so I'm not worried about a bilge failure if it comes to that. I hate wet feet..not gonna have that. Nope...no...not!

You best be careful tilting the motor up with the transom well door sealed up. It's designed to drop down when the motor hits it.
