Got it buttoned up. Drive direction indicator replaced voltmeter. Voltmeter is in hole cut for water pressure gauge. Latter moves to new hole fore of throttle. While I was remounting engine hatch cover, I replaced nut securing latch prong with 4" drilled and tapped strap (can't rotate). Now a 11/16th" wrench slipped in finger slot will definitely open a jammed compartment.
Informed Susan that I will no longer need her assistance in docking. No longer any need to futilely look back at spot where outboard should be when I pull this I/O in. I'll put dock on starboard and rope a cleat myself.
A regular frickin hero I tell ya!
