I didn't have the foresight to measure where the console and rps were. Can any of the members give me some locational information for them? Obviously I center them side to side - I am looking for where to place them in relation to the front or rear of the boat. Thanks! Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

There are some pictures in the 19 Outrage album that may give you what you need. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v42...an0028.jpg I have raised my console 6" (highly recommended because of the very low wheel and control height on the "winged" style console 1973-1982), but it is still in the exact original position, front to back. In the photo, the holes under the beam section of the riser have screws countersunk into the original holes in the floor. You may be able to interpolate the dimension in this photo. If not, I can get some measurements off the boat this weekend. Incidentally, your boat is looking fabulous.

If you happen to be on the boat this weekend an actual dimension would be great but please don't go out of your way. For my first mount I'm going with the stock height. I may raise down the road but would rather get a feel for it first. One other quick question. Do you know what size screws are used to mount it? Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

Member Posts: 4 Comments: 0 Joined: 06/02/07	Measuring to the foot of the console.....24 1/2" back from the front step to the front of the console and 53 1/2" back to the rear of the foot. My first front screw was 26 1/2" back from the front step. The console was centered, thus 19 1/2" in from the sides of the boat. All measurements are at the outside flange at the base of the console...does this make sense? If not send me an email with a phone number and I willl call you. Ray
