Firedog, I have a Willie guide model and if I remember correctly they told me they are all installed in the same position. If you need assistance, call Jim at Willie Boats in Central Point. He is very helpful. I can also look at mine if you still want to know. As far as having it installed I think there is a Willie dealer down by you. They do some custom drift boats and could probably help. I don't think it is any tough install, but I like to get it right the first time also. I know how you feel about the drive to Oregon-did it 3 times to get mine right. Take care and let me know what you find out.
