What are your goals/needs. Do you want to get from point A to point B in the shortest time or is it something else. I kind of smiled when you said your prop ventilated offshore. Does that mean it doesn't ventilate near shore:) Was it ventilating or cavitating. I have no idea what half trim...

For small amounts of gas, it will work. I used a similar model way back (after Sandy). It takes a lot of time and effort to get a small amount of gas. It pumps about the same amount per squeeze as you primer bulb would. If you need to draw gas several times, the electric transfer pump (gasoline...

I have siphoned through the sender opening. I used a manual push and pull pump. It takes a long time and a lot of effort. The electric transfer pump is a better approach but it must be certified for gasoline as mentioned. Take note that a transfer pump rated for diesel is NOT rated for gas...

I think the OP was referring to the float and specifically a WEMA style sender with donut float on shaft. In that case a magnet would probably grab onto it .The funny thing is that the float should 'Float' so it should be on the surface somewhere whereas the tube would likely be laying on the...

Two things come to mind immediately: The breaker isn't the real concern. Rather the wire size that is currently used may not be large enough for the new demand. My second thought was about the proposed new horn and whether it is designed for a saly water environment ( I assume you boat in such...

Some (maybe all) West Marines carry Moeller tanks. If you figure out which one you need, you can check to see if WM can ship it to their store. That may save some money. I am not sure since I expect WM to be one of the more pricey vendors for the tank itself

Dryig out will not restore strength. If the coring is solid and just wet, you might be able to make some band aid repairs. The strength of a transom is directly related to the fact that the coring is laminated between the inner and outer shell or skin as you call it. Try doing the tapping...

I like the Dremel trick!

I agree with Dennis. A plastic tank can be easier to install, lasts forever and is lighter (easier to handle) Here is a link to the list of Moeller ready made tanks. There are many options, the hard part is picking the right model. ( OK its not that hard but you will have to fire up those...

I agree. Transom is rotten

If the existing lenses are colored and the bulbs are white, it is not advisable to install LED replacement bulbs. The narrow spectrum of the LED bulb can get attenuated (blocked) by the colored lens.

Be aware that depending on where you live and how far from the fabricator, shipping cab cost almost as much as the tank

Regarding electrical troubleshooting, remember that ground conductors are just as important as 12V feeds. You could have 12v at a pump for example that doesn't run but its problem is a bad/corroded ground connection

Some parts like stainless fittings, hinged and latches may be available since those types of parts were used in several model years. Fir some parts, the same parts were used for decades:) Plastic and fiberglass parts like lids, deck panels trim pieces are just about impossible to find. Same goes...

I use a plastic syringe to fill the reservoir but an easy option is to use a plastic squeezable condiment bottle like you would for mustard or ketchup

If the tilt motor was bad or dead, you should still hear the trim/tilt relays clicking. The first thing I would do is examine, disconnect, clean and reinstall all the cables that connect to the tilt relays including the fat cables. In addition, locate the main fat ground wire (black usually)...

Normally, it would be this...

The side nav lights are fed from the same switch so if one works that means the switch and both the 12 volts feed as well as the ground is good at least to the light that works. The other side nav light is teed off of the same wires as the working light. What is not obvious is which light feeds...

The bulb is available at any marine store and online, You need the number of the bulb. You should carry a spare also. The bulb in the hardtop anchor light may be different

In addition, a bad horn in most cases is a bad horn, followed by bad connections. The horn on that boat only lasts a few years depending on the waters you boat in. For the time being, get a bottle air horn for about 10 bucks. It will satisfy the regulations for an audible warning device. It is...
