My one other suggestion is to shield the cooling hose from the prop as best as you can when choosing your routing path. I would snake it through the rudder bracket opening and into the hull between the transom rudder standoff and the push rod rubber bellow. The cooling tube on my 27" mini zonda, setup much like yours is currently on the back end, penetrates the hull to the left of the transom rudder stand off. This makes the loop of cooling hose long and flexible and has been cut by my prop during a flip on more than one occasion. The first time it happened, the cut wasn't completely through, and it was almost a game ender for the electronics on board if another driver standing next to me didn't notice it.
