Thanks John, I know I'm a little OCD with how I approach everything. My wife reminds me everyday, LOL! I'm getting ready to mount the box in the boat. While I was replacing some of the long sheet metal screws, I noticed my strut was badly rusted out. My rudder has been missing the top bushing in it forever, so I knew I needed a new rudder anyways, so figured I might as well get what I need. Flex shaft is toast too, along with stuffing tube. Other than that, I think I have what I need.
