Hello Group, and thank you for accepting me! I’m hoping to be in the water as soon as possible but have a few questions—if it is better to ask them one at a time, please let me know. 1. Is it best to mount the outboard on the original transom cut-out? Advantage/disadvantages? 2. Ladder suggestions? I would like to easily climb out of the water if unexpectedly needed. 3. Has anyone added a wet locker on a pre-wet locker model—if so, how to or photos? (I would like the area for the fuel tank, and better cockpit drainage) 3. Information for original sink drain plumbing and cockpit drain(one of the previous owners added hoses and I want to be sure I have the most safe and effective fixtures) 4. Any books, or how-to set up guides that could be purchased or downloaded for the M17? 5. Suggestions? (I will be lowering the keel to inspect and service... I am replacing waterlogged balsa core in fore-deck and around mast step... just trying to get everything safe and functional now, but still considering upgrades...) Thank you group!
