By scenic are you talking about the the road from elgin to weston. can't think of the name of the pass right now. It is a lot worse than cabbage but I go that route anytime cabbage has the chain law up or bad weather, way more snow and steeper pulls but not nearly as many idiots to block the road. lol

Either buy the kit or build a mount to relocate the controller away from the pump.
That is the biggest trouble with the 6.5 as the heat kills them.
