You can see the bubbles of air coming from the brake line as you push fluid in from below. You can also manipulate the brake master to assist the flow of air out of the system.

Here's why the bottom breakers are upside down. It puts the buss bars connecting the inputs together. The first breaker in the bottom row is the main output from the alternator so it is right side up so the output goes to the buss bars.

Today I installed the new cover for the console and began work on the brake plumbing. I need to replace the line from the reservoir to the master as it interferes with the trim switch. Replacement parts now on order.

And then another 7 lbs of alternator H/W and about 4 lbs of Whelen strobe/lights/power supply. That sleek piece in the lower left is one of the 6 oz AEROLED Nav/Strobe units replacing the Whelens.
