I was finally able to go for a boat ride. It took my engine guy 2 days to get it all done. The motor ran well but I do have a few minor problems to resolve, nothing that I can't fix in a couple of hours. She was able to do 32.5 knots at WOT 5200 RPM according to my GPS. Not to shabby for a 115 that had been laid up for 2.5 years.
Here are some pics. Now I gotta get her out fitted for fishing.

Hammer the throttle cables are in the starboard tube and the services (Fuel Elec Oil)are in the port sidetube. The hydraulic lines for the steering run along the back of the transom. I have to finish the install of the steering as far as the cosmetics go.

Thanks 2ndchance. Thats still a swell job you did. No hard feelings I hope when I tried cutting your lock and chain securing your bracket. ;D :o :P

Glad all has worked out for you!!

But I have a question, why are there so many holes in the transom??
I see one for cables, two coming in front of motor and I can't see the other side but seems like there are steering from yet another hole?

2ndchance...yer bracket job is lookin' GREAT!! 8) ...

...I'm wonderin' if ya might be leavin' some top-end on the table...ya mentioned 5200 as max RPMs and I'm pretty sure there's another 400-600 RPMs in yer 115 ... but here's the main thing; if it's set up the way YOU want it, then GO FOR IT!! ;D ;D ...

You sure put together a nice lookin' "V" ;) 8) ...
