I installed mine as original manual, behind aft baggage bulkhead. Now I
realized that should be better to install it more forward. Better CG and far
better for service.

Subject: [LML] Legacy Hydraulic Pump Location

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!
