Baller gregy Posted August 7, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2018 It took some time. But I now have ZO on my 1999 Malibu Response LX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller gregy Posted August 7, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 7, 2018 I got a used 5.7 2012 Indmar out of V-drive Sanger. It was complete with Econtrol computer wiring harness Cat exhaust manifolds. Used original transmission and starter. I didn't get the original throttle sensor/shifter so I ended up using a throttle sensor and mount from a Nautique and connecting it to the original throttle cable.

Baller gregy Posted August 7, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 7, 2018 Fabricated plate that mounts under throttle body. It holds the throttle sensor and original arrestor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller gregy Posted August 7, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 7, 2018 The ZO head I found on Ski-it-again. My friend bought the engine for a Chris Craft project and decided not to use it. Got a single GPS antenna from ZO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller gregy Posted August 7, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 7, 2018 @mwetskier I fabbed that up myself. My aluminum welding is a little weak the first few welds took a lot of cleaning up but the last looked perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted August 8, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 8, 2018 With arrestor on, I had to open up the hole some to fit the throttle body. Fabricated a mount for the computer and fuse box as well. I was trying to do this as cheaply as possible so I found all the factory connectors and made the wire harness that were needed. The existing wiring harness from the engine to the helm was used for the most part, I only had to run the twisted pair of wires from the ZO head back to the engine harness.
