    Yup! I have a few of those towers. I have all my boats wired for MSD, Phelon, and the Thunderbolt ignitions. That way all my boats can accommodate the Flathead, Konny, and the 500 Yamato all in the same weekend. As you know, it only takes us about 15 minutes to switch powerheads and units. But it took about 50 hours to make it all work like that...

    Oh I know just how fast one can change a power head and a unit. The hardest was the 500 Yamato with the 4 into cables to pull but it wasn't to bad. He made shorter ones for the lay down years ago. I knew of 4 with you having 2 of them on boats, my old boat and Geslers

    I run a little 3' throttle cable on all my engine that go to (What I call a pendulum) linkage so that all the engines with different cable travel requirements can be quickly disconnected and connected.
    I couldn't imagine running something simple... I would lose my mind even worse than I have already!

    Lol J-Dub. Yeah the tricky part for ours was the pipe cable but we had the extra cables mounted to a board in the boat. On the water pickup we had a small curved piece that bolted to the bottom of the tower to get good a good flow of water. And the prop that he ran on the hydro and runabout with the Konig was x651. I changed power heads on your 2 boats so many times with Howard and Mark over the years lol.
