Looks good, thanks for the pics.
Usually the tiller steering is locked at the best tracking position with the motor head orientation reversed when mounted like this. The steering is done with fins when the motor is pulling the toon backwards. A hose can be attached to act as a tiller extension for speed control. If you have the 6'-7' Alpine, there should be adjustment made to good balance at the level, including occupant. Short pontoons with low weight capacity and upturned ends can be quite sensitive to balance issues compared to float tubes, in my experience.
Hope this helps.
