If that hits then the shifter bracket will not work as well as they are close center lines from each other. Thoughts?

Sax, here is picture of your tranny I took last year, do you recall the distance left from your shifter to transom? It looks to me very close to what I have, I can use the other side of the bracket and mount the filter as well.

Here's a couple pics and measurements of our setup. Keep in mind the transom is at angle so there will be less clearance near the bottom of the filter vs the top.
I measured from the ring on the inside of transom assembly where the "stop" on the tailstock of the transmission would hit, to the outside of the backing plate on the inside of the transom. I'm assuming your boat would be pretty similar assuming transom thickness of both boats are pretty much the same.
Also, your shifter mount/bracket looks like it may be a little wider than ours (sticks back closer to the transom), and our bracket curves off vs yours is straight. The shifter bracket will most definately have very very little clearnace.
Not trying to butt into your build here, but it's no fun having the motor hanging in the air and trying to figure out whats not lining up.
Motors look nice though! We could stand to dress ours up a bit.....

Additional pictures - moved the power steering filter ahead of the bracket. 85% done as you can see still waiting on Whipple.

10 months and counting, we have the Cupronickel cores in the 16-71 blowers, they were saying that the raw materials were not coming in, then it was quality control issues, and well we can send one, and now we are waiting again on who nows what. we ordered 6 and have 1 so far. we will have 8 motors built the same at the lake so we are doing our own R&D, so far we have one set that had a 1/2 season, boat flipped, went to the bottom, brought up, pickeled, cleaned up, and rsssembled and ran all last season with no problems.

I wonder who makes them? Who makes the 8/71-16/71 cores? not the biz that has them made for them.
I had Teauge tell me I would have a grand in a water pick up,it couldn't be done,they didn't want to do it,I ended up having a bud with a metal fab shop,cad it and made one up in 1 week.I now have a program I can make changes to

We are doing our own water pick up as well, actually have all of the pieces fabricated and will be welding together this week. I will shoot some pictures.
I am using the Marine Machine shifters on the left and trottles on the right. With the MM shfters it was getting into the screen of the GPS so we fabricated a base for the throttles out of aluminum.
