Power Pole mounting and pump location

Well, I broke down and set up an appointment to have a PP 8ft Blade installed in a couple of weeks. I'm planning on having it mounted directly to starboard side of the transom. For those that have Moccasins, where does the factory usually mount the pump and how do they run the hydraulic lines?
I assume all the holes for thru-bolting should be coated with 4200.
A reputable shop a little too far for me told me this week they had an Egret (wasn't sure what size or model) in the shop for one and had to use a 1" spacer between the transom and the mount due avoid to it hitting the rub rail when retracted. That's the first time i've ever heard that... hope that's not the case here.

The pump mounts on the starboard side in the rear hatch on the transom next to the fuel filter.Route hoses accordingly. There should be a Black & Red wire already run just for the Power Pole already in the back there tied up with yellow shrink butt ends already installed!
Yes using 4000 UV is recommended. It's removable and rated for above and below the waterline & comes in white or black. Hope this helps.
Btw, that chrome scupper drain cover in the 2nd pic is nicer than my rubber ones. Mine rots and has to be replaced every year. It's cheap and easy but would be better if I didn't have to do it at all.
