engine hatch /sundeck

My wife has started to do the upholstery ,we ordered charcoal and graphite carbon vinyl at Great lake fabriks,which is awesome stuff, the blue is peachskin and looks like suede ,but is marine vinyl too.
We made a pad in the centre of the deck so we don,t have to walk over the vinyl ,and we are waiting for the flexiteak guy to have him made that part .
I have the hydraulic lift ram for the deck ready for install ,the stroke is almost3 1/2 feet so I guess the deck can be opened up pretty far to have good acces to the engines.
Swimplatform is powdercoated ,I am thinking to do the flat Ali plate in flexiteak too, or in anti slip coating.

Ok,I will switch props , the shift cables are not installed yet ,so thats easy
Whats your intention with inboard rotation ,more bowlift ? the 6 blades are 21 inch diameter ,so I was expecting tremendous stern lift ,but like you mentioned in an earlier post ,, never sell a prop before you try ,, so I will do .

Thx A.J

Looks Good AJ !

Man what are those props big even when they are on the ASD 8 !

I hope you not go on plane when you put them both in gear ,the hustler is fast on idle but if I look at this I am afraid you gonna win this one !

C'ant wait to go for the first sea trail hope it go's like the hustler's first one ,Perfect !!

I was hoping to have a decent speed at idling in 1 th gear ,especially in the marina , if not I need to get out of the marina with 1 engine ,cause the people with those large sticks on their boats wil cry !

The trannies are ZF 110 TS 1,30:1 in 1 th gear , and 1:1 in 2 th gear.
They are 5 inch drop down ,no angle ( straith output )

So it's no big deal to switch rotation??? Just run 'em the opposite direction???

Yes,according ZF ,the gearboxes can run ahead & astern under full power ,there is aprox 1 % difference in gear ratio when the box is turning astern vs a head ,dunno why but must be due switching different/extra gearshaft to make it run the opposite direction?
