Engine rigging pic wanted for 99 Merc 200 efi.

Ok, so I'm rigging my 99 200 Mercury EFI motor on the back of my Enchanter. All the Merc V6's I've rigged in the past have the wiring harness and battery cables going through one side of the engine, and the fuel and shift cables going through the other. This one has everything going through on one side, plus the oil hoses. Anyone have a pic (or can take one for me) of how all the hoses and cables pass though the outboard cowling? Seems like it's going to be a tight fit!
 
I have a 11 optimax 150 that has all the above mentioned items passing through a tube. It all fits, believe it or not. I will snap a pic later.
 
It will all fit. I have all that plus my jackplate wiring and a water temperature sensor wire going through a rigging tube. Its tight but it fits.
 
OK, here's a pic of the cowling pass through bracket:

Does this look like the ones you guys are using?

Oh, and Dusturbd, I have the same set-up (99 200 EFI on a Enchanter!) What kind/pitch prop are you running and what speeds are you seeing. I'm outside working on finishing up this install right now.
 
I am using a rigging tube and the corresponding adapter on the cowl side. You get more space to run the wires and hoses that way.
