Hello all. First post here. I'm considering making an offer on a '98 laser that has the std controls. I know that I would like to upgrade to the full XD controls at some point. Is it much effort to do this or should I hold out for a younger boat that has the new fittings already? From looking at various guides it looks as though several new screw holes need to be made in the deck to add the two new plates, but no advice is given on size of hole, screw type to use, proper sealing, measurements for proper location of the plates, making good the old screw holes etc . Can someone point me to a good source of info on how to perform this upgrade? I already have the following doc, but it's very light on the DIY details of upgrading the fittings.
