Been thinking about location of trim pumps, as the 280 K-planes purchased showed up last week, freight form USA taking forever at present due to covid, shipping schedules.
The best location would be bolt them to inside rear transom, close to the actuators, however would be difficult to get in there is any future problems
Few weeks ago travelled to antique race boat meet, and when moving around the pits noticed a lot of the boats had windows cut out of rear deck, with access panels there, generally made from tinted lexon, so you can get access to the inside transom, as well as see what's going on from outside the boat.
Thought this seemed a good idea
Thinking I could router a step in the window cut out and then drop the lexon panel into the recess to make a smoother look
Not sure how else you could do this without relocating the trim pumps forward and running longer hoses between pumps and actuator fittings
