Looking for any rigging pics as well as information on how to install a new Head. I think I should not have too difficult of a time rigging the boat, but more information and photos would minimize any uh-ohs. Also, the boat I bought has a new head, but it is not bolted down. I was wondering if there’s any reason why the previous owner did not install it, or is it a big job? I would think I only need to put bolts in, and tighten some nuts, but getting access to where the bolts would connect might be difficult. I do not have access to the boat at the moment, so perhaps this is easier then I am imagining.

Installing a new head is going to be more difficult than you think. After you get it bolted down you will need to attach the hoses. They will be nearly impossible to fit over the flanges and could be too short if the new head isn’t the same as the old one. The old hoses may be dried out and crack or split when you try to get them to fit. he hose clamps you have on hand will also be the wrong size. The day you pick for the install will be 100º F and 85% humidity, with mosquitoes and flies. Good luck.
For rigging pix we will need to know what kind of boat (builder, model, year) you have, unless you just want pictures of generic rigging…
