May be too late for today, but when you go to the boat, remove the engine cowling, or prop it up enough to get your hands on the plug to the t/t switch on the engine. Don't move the wiring or operate the switch. Turn the power on, if the t/t motor runs unplug the switch under the cowling, and...
Blue is up(sky), and green is down(grass). My tilt motor on 225 OX66 is 4 wire, and when testing with a battery, both the black ground and one of the blue or green wires have to be grounded for the other to run the tilt motor.
When connected to the relay, and you hit up on the switch, the...
If you are mounting it on a full width swim platform, it should be the same as the angle between the transom and the platform. If on a transom with no platform, probably not an issue, especially if you have power t/t.
Yes, your PT&T switch in the throttle. Just spray WD right on it, they sometimes hang up on the edge of the switch frame. If the one in the engine doesn't work, unplug it, it may be the problem. It is an easy plug and play replacement.
Sounds like the relay. Don't know what motor you have, but there is probably a video to trouble shoot your relay on YouTube, definitely for Yamaha. I assume you were using the helm switch. If it happens again, try unplugging the switch on the side of the engine, under the cowling, to see if it...
If you have a good edge on the old piece, just clamp them together, or use the existing holes in the old one to screw them together, and use a flush cutting router bit...
Of the 36 boats on the first page, 34 say 'ENDED", and only 2 say "SOLD", for $18,500 and $42,500. Didn't see the rules, but it looks like a reserve auction.
You're right, you can see the lay out from overhead in this link, brochure at the bottom/left.
I saw some company's new big boat on line last week, with the walkaround on one side.

Look at the videos and pics on their website, and you will see the target audience. Families, and couples, dressed like they are going for lunch at the country club. A spinning rod here and there, but no hard core fishing.
The most important thing in using your livewell as a cooler, is to remember to close the sea cock before you put the boat in gear.
For insulating, I would remove it, clean with something like acetone, turn it upside down on a level surface, use 2" masking tape to build a wall on the inside of...
Anchor out in 10 feet of choppy water, and try to change one. At 10', you may be able to recover it off the bottom, if necessary.
When I cruised overnight, or longer, I carried a spare, to avoid having to pay an outrageous price in a pinch.
I have it. It makes it harder to manage the enclosure on that side, like rolling it up and fastening the strap. Not sure if it does anything regarding the wind, I have often been tempted to just remove it.
No, I am not going to buy one, so I really don't care what they charge, or what the profit margin is, but I am curious about production time, and market demand. And, at 14 feet of beam, and 30,000 pounds, are they delivered on their own bottoms.
