Ha!

He already IS famous... he has 13 championship rings ;)

Very, VERY nice!

Not "overkill" at all! Yes, an AS valve is very important whether it's a mechanical or an electrical one. Even if all the fuel line is currently above the tank, there's a possibility (granted, a VERY small one) it could drop below tank level. I've read that opponents to it say it's better to...

It seems like you didn't finish your sentence or proofread? There seems to be missing info.

It's not "bad" to go bigger with wiring - but it's just not necessary, you know? Don't worry - you'll have plenty of opportunities to spend your money elsewhere :)

Agree. Although, German, you could do 14g to "feel better" :p

Funny - there's a post in the "Tips" forum about this exact subject if you wanted to read it.

Generally speaking, PT wood vs aluminum = PT winning the fight. But since you are separating the two with a barrier you'll be fine. To expand on this... using PT wood as carpeted bunks on a pontoon trailer leads to the Al corroding. But this example keeps wet PT wood (carpet holds water) in...

No worries!

Hi Mike - it just dawned on me that I recognize your name from our emails... while I'm not on this forum for sales, I'm from Peters Marine - about that '02 we have emailed about.

You can buy fiberglass or PVC L-channel very readily.

Skunk, I think it's kind of a moot point as I eluded to above. The reason I say this is I've worked on plenty of boats where the green wire goes to a bus bar and NOT the battery. These were well made, higher end boats - and it's that way from the factory. I think this is a "just because GW...

For your grounding, best practice is to ground to a bus bar to keep from having multiple things right on the battery. Although this is more of an aesthetic thing. However, it wouldn't matter which battery you go to - you'll notice that the batteries' negatives are all tied tied together -...

Ummmmm... that's not an "M". You're looking at the "GW" logo upside down. As far as I know, since that was made special for GW, the only way to get it would be through a dealer.

Correct - pink is the standard color for the sender wire... and Pw/W would be for a secondary tank. All grounds are connected together in the system... "ground". Which means it doesn't really matter. BUT... you could ohm each black wire to the fuel fills to see which wire is connected to...

X2 to what Hookup said about epoxy holes. It's a relatively simple step, but it totally prevents cores issues.

In comparison, yeah, the screw in deck plates are a bit better. But, in reality, it still comes down to sealing (re-sealing) the screw-down part every so often and making the sure o-ring is good - and they both have those two parts to keep up on. If you keep up on that, then either style is fine.

Yes! Using the boat on a regular basis definitely helps eliminates issues... and is MUCH more fun than not using the boat :) Looking at the picture of the fuel cooler, it appears it will drain very easily.... but Chris, you bring up a good point that I wasn't thinking about. I think you may...

I don't know those engines well, at all, but... that's a lot of build up. Is the VST cooler more prone to buildup than other areas? The reason I'm asking is that I'm wondering if, after seeing that, does it warrant removing the head covers?
