Bob’s Jackplate Install

Can some of you that have a Bob’s post photos of your remote tank and pump locations and tips/recommendations if you have any? Any of you with an HPX Tunnel or HPX-T and this JP would be even better. Mine will be here Wednesday and I want to have a game plan ready so I can knock it out with no issues or trips to pick up parts.
Thanks

I used 3M body side moulding adhesive tape to mount control next to throttle. I could not deal with it wire tied to throttle. Pic tonight.

No holes. Even used an existing fastener to attach cable.

Well excuse me! Can provide pic later. I mounted mine on a partition between two rear hatches on my b2. That kept weight as far forward and center as possible.

You can just see my Lenco switches. I can use them while under way at cruising speed. Thumb wrap the throttle lever and can hit switches with fingers. Pretty much same with jackplate but thumb gets that switch. Blinker switch is a clean option. But I had your idea. Ordered, put that thing on and went. Didn’t even know about blinker switch at that time. Well maybe, that was 13 years ago.

I can also hit all with point of pole if I forgot to adjust any before I got up on platform.
I too would like to see pics. Make sure low water pickup is included!
