So I got a new console from PontoonStuff and I'm almost done. I got wheel/gauges/etc mounted. I saved the shifter for last...prob going to be a big mistake. The shifter is pretty long, and it's flat, and the shifting/throttle cables extend flat beyond it a ways. The problem is the console does not have a flat side, it's wider around the top then tapers in to the base. If I just drill a hole in the center/side, the shifter cannot sit flush to the side of the console. If I move it all the way up and forward it might fit, but it's going to be close, and it will put the shifter in a pretty awkward position. Does anyone have any ideas???   |

So I think all the internals will clear and cables stay free if I put it up high where the green circle is. I wanted to have it lower near the red circle. But I guess this will have to work.

Looks like that would work. I switched mine up to top mount so I didn't have to deal with it..... ------------- Craig n Paula http://www.pontoonboatforum.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7781&title=the-floater-rebuild" rel="nofollow - THE FLOATER Rebuild 94 Party Barge 24' 115 merc 22mph OP KS Truman Lake |
