I am trying to decide where to put the gear hydraulic pump in a Legacy. The original manual called for it to go behind the aft baggage bulkhead but later manual revisions moved it to behind the copilot seat.  The 2 big things I have been thinking about are CG and serviceability.  Can anyone tell me what they did and how it is working out?  Is your CG good?  Is checking/adding fluid or servicing the pump a pain if it is aft of the bulkhead?  I have also been thinking about if I ever had to disconnect the lines running across the baggage floor under the closeout that this would be a real pain because of the closeout.  It seems that having the pump behind the seat makes it much more serviceable.  If you did this, where would the batteries need to be located?  Any thoughts at all on the subject would be much appreciated!
