Sounds like a good plan. It does seem that he prop is slipping on the hub

The terminals should have labels molded in the plastic. It may be a numeric digit or a letter. If it were 6 pins, it would be easy to figure out but yours is 8 pin and I assume the extra 2 pins are for indication lamps or even back lighting on some switches. I guess you may not have documented...

Post the make and model number of the switch.

In my case the cap threads had been eaten away in some areas as were some threads in the gunnel fitting itself. I was not able to find an exact replacement but it fit the existing hole. The challenge is having enough access to undo the hose which may be hard to undo since it may be old and stiff...

When I fist looked at the new clear filters I said to myself that the materials looked like broken down fuel hose linings. I can't explain the sandy particles. Since the new filters are close to the tank ( assume) the crud would have to be from the tank. By the way, I was completely kidding in...

Pull off one of the inlet hoses at the pump and put a garden hose on the pump. Run it and see if the faucet or gunnel wand gets water

I've had a similar issue. The cap was not the whole issue, the threads in the deck fitting also had corroded. The fix was to replace the entire fitting

I am not sure why there would be two pumps.. I dont know how two pumps would be connected to the water tank. I would think that either there are two pickups in the water tank or the two share a single pickup. In the later case, there would have to be a way to select which pump is connected. Are...

If the prop has spun and continues to spin under load , an easy way to test for slip is to get both motors running at a slow speed and then jam both throttles all the way forward . If a prop is slipping it will cause a much faster surge in revs than the motor that is not slipping . Just look at...

Rods in theory can be replaced. Here is a link to one company but they are out of stock. I don't know how easy or hard it is to replace the rods. You might be better off takin the prop to a prop shop for advice...

Do you gas up both tanks at the same time?

Is the 'lavatory' and shower the same fixture (pull out sprayer)? If so, the sprayer may be clogged. It comes apart and can be cleaned if all else is in good shape. You are also saying that the pump turns on when the gunnel spray wand is used and shuts off when the spray is not used. Does the...

You are going to have to clean your tanks. Somehow that gunk got in there. Bad gas at the pump? Who knows but regardless it's not good. Regarding the filters... Well you expected some comments.. Nevermind....

There is very limited access to the inside transom. Even if you cut out stuff to get access, re-glassing what you cut out will be close to impossible. I would inspect the internal areas including stringers as best I could and if there is no obvious rotting, proceed to accessing the transom from...

The data is helpful. Can you tell us why the mechanic replaced the t-stat and water pump at no charge? Did the mechanic mention if the t-stat housing was clear of crud? I was hoping the motor overheated at low revs ( classic poppet valve issue):( There are still things to look at before...

Are these motors 2 stroke or 4 stroke? What are the conditions when the overheat occurs. Does it overheat only under load at cruising speeds or perhaps overheats at idle or low speed? How does the telltale look when it overheats? More info will help narrow down the possible causes. Jumping to...

The tank is under that panel in front of the motor well . The fresh water pump on mine was in the aft port locker, next to the oil tank. The run from the tank to the pump is not very long. On mine there was a filter (screen) device on the inlet side of the pump. That would clog up every season...

I can see the photos.

Where is the seat switch? Are all the affected accessories on the switch panel at the helm. That area would be my first guess as to where the issue is. You may have a loose connector or perhaps a broken common wire on the panel breakers

The tank is either full or the fill is clogged. It's a pain to get to the plumbing to check. Try running a snake into the filler to see if a blockage is present. Are you using the correct filler? Depending on model year, it should be under the folding flap in the motor well Port side)
