Did a little project today, always hated the primer bulbs outside the rigging tubes so I got new rigging tube, rigging flanges and the hard plastic rigging grommet( I guess that’s what it’s called) that attaches to engine and replaced them. Moved the primer bulbs to the inside of the transom and then added Lumitec Exuma courtesy lights where then fuel line used to come threw rigging flange. Took longer than I had thought it would but super happy with the way it turned out. Looks much cleaner in my opinion.

I am glad I did it because the rigging tube had water inside of it since the rubber rigging grommet was not sealed against the motor. On our previous Tigercat same thing happened and over time the water that sat in the rigging tube swelled up the battery wires and left us stranded one day.

Very sharp. I've found little need for the priming bulbs once commissioned each year. I like the lights in the old fuel line location. Great idea.

Looks great. It’s a big job getting everything threaded and clean inside these tubes. Cool idea with the light.
