OK... So who's built a Thrust EZ-Flow Pro trim system before? I have a minty 155mm pump from a donor 98 XL1200 that I planned on using for this build. So I picked up the Thrust trim system minus the reduction nozzle cause I didn't see the sense in dropping $100 for a nozzle when I already have one and my thoughts were, all I'll have to do is drill and tap the two side bosses.
Turns out the already factory drilled and tapped top and bottom bosses hit the trim ring.
I suspect I just have to grind them down, but I'd rather hear that from someone before I start grinding away. Also this is the hardware that was included. Not certain what all six bolts are for, seems like there are a few extra
I'll reach out to Thrust tomorrow, but if anyone has some insight tonight that would be great.

I believe a couple of those button heads are for mounting the reduction nozzle to the hull so that you can run the cable in the top position on the cable bracket.
That was an issue I ran into because I had allens for the pump mounting, and the head of the bolt is too thick for me to run the cable at the top position. So the lower profile button heads allow you to run it in the top position.
Here is a pic of what I am talking about.

I put the thrust trim on my phantom it was the 144-148 trim on the 155 nozel just a little grinding on the sides for the trim ring Toulouse in and bolt up to and some grinding on top for a bit more throw it went on pretty easy. When you bolt your pump up you might have to rotate the stator I had one of the cooling lines get in the way of my steering cable

If you rotate the stator section do you then have to pull out all the alignment dowel pins?

155 pump is shimmed and aligned.
Midshaft alignment tool indicates no shimming necessary for the midshaft.
Front bow eye had to be mounted a bit off center because of location of internal water box bracket point.
Not that big of deal from the outside.
Pole bracket all ready to be mounted
But... How the hell do you get that breather hose up past the pole bolt and into the aluminum tubes???
and I don't even have the spring installed in this pic. When that thing is in there, I have no idea how I'm expected to get the hose in the tube.
On a side note, the ATP pole bracket has a VERY sharp edge on it and as yup twist the hose into the hole it peels a huge section of the hose apart. I'm gonna disassemble the bracket and hit that sharp edge with some scotch brite on my air grinder.

Pole's on.
Now to drill and tap the bosses on the reduction nozzle for the Thrust EZ-Flow Pro trim system.

Orientation of midshaft bolts are not the same as that of a Superjet. So no go on the Blowsion dual bilge bracket. Either will have to fabricate my own or just epoxy the bilge bases to the bottom of the hull.

what do you do about a coupler cover?

Cases on the motor still have the two bolt holes. Just nothing to attach to that little rubber thing. Still run a coupler to keep water from being thrown to the carbs

Drilling and tapping the three 155 reduction nozzles I have. Two of them are the upsweep type nozzles and one is straight. Anybody have experience with either type and their thoughts?

^haven't seen or used an upsweep nozzle before but would assume it will make the nose right up a bit more without the use if trim, and with trim you'll probably gain some degrees of throw compared to straight.

Ebox holes drilled and using rubber center pieces from sanding drums to act as standoffs and anti vibration mechanisms for the ebox. Not sure how it will work, but we will see.
Also drilled and mounted dual bilge outlets. I didn't have a scupper installed so I have to rely on bilges working. I'm thinking I'm going to mount dual Surf armor switches just to the inside of each bilge outlet. One to activate the two bilges and one to switch curves on my Epic CDI. Thanks to @OCDSolutions for that hookup.
