I can't say what the issues is since neither you nor I know for sure if the individual senders are working correctly. Just because the sight glass seems to be working doesn't mean that the sender is electrically OK. Secondly, I am not familiar with the Garmin combined fuel level page but I would...

If the boat is out of the water or if you have a place on the water where you can dunk yourself and look at the bottom of the hull aft (about 6 inches to a foot) off the transom, you will see the strainer/scoop in the hull if there are any. If is a scoop, there will be a seacock valve above that...

I suspect that there is a missing or bad ground connection.

That is a fairly big job and I wonder if it is worth the effort and there will be a lot of effort and expense.. First of all, you need to make sure that your hull was available with twins originally. The rigging manual will give you the drilling specs for the mounting holes and position, as well...

I forgot to ask. When you turn on the ignition, does the gauge go through the self test mode where all LCD segments are cycled on and off?

My first thought was that the installer overtightened the bolt and crushed the coring.Maybe the installer drilled the hole and the thin underside just chipped out . In any case, there could be more issues than just a leak, such as core rot. I would determine what those bolts connect and remove...

The gauge needs to be configured for the motor.

Check the back of the gauge for switches. The gauge may need to be reconfigured. I will look for the documentation

Pictures would help. I don't know what your 'marks' are on the gelcoat.Always start with the mildest product such as boat soap, From there try a cleaner for fiberglass. Next step is a cleaner/polishing compound. After that it's rubbing compound and if all that fails, wet sanding, followed by...

If yours is a multi carbed motor ( six carbs) do not touch the carb adjustments unless you have a multi-port manometers to sync the carbs. It is just about impossible to sync multi carbs without one. Believe me, I have been there:(

Not sure what you are painting but NEVER EVER paint or prime the area under a sacrificial anode.There has to be good electrical clean metal to clean metal contact. Zincs wear out and loose their effectiveness over time. If you had the same zincs for 10 years, you are luck you still have a...

To a certain extent, the launch ramp dictates what style of trailer, roller or bunk. On steeper ramps, a bunk can make launching and retrieving easier. For less steep ramps, rollers are helpful since the boat can be winched forward a lot easier and also the boat can be driven up onto the rollers...

Got it.

The info on the tach gauge is important. It will display over heat and low oil conditions ( 2 strokes). I wouldn't give those up.

If the clear plastic face is clouded but the LCD display is working and the backlight works ( check in the dark) there is a company that refurbishes gauges. They doa good job https://gaugesaver.com/

Is that picture taken at Tyson's Shoal? Good luck with the boat!

It occurred to me that you might have a bad coil. You can test somewhat by running the motor in neutral at about 1000 revs and pull off the spark plug wires one at a time. If that coil is good, the motor speed and sound should change when the wire if pulled. If not, you may have bad or no spark...

Setting the toe is often a trial and error case. Measuring the tie bar and prop to prop distance is only accurate to set 0 toe. The geometry of the adjustment is that the angle of the motor is important and it is somewhat easy to determine the required angle if you know the motor spacing and...

That sounds like a rich mixture. At speed, you use more gas but as the speed lowers, the mixture is too rich and the plugs start to foul. The smoke should be dark and not blue. When you looked at the old plugs were they all the same or was one or more a lot more fouled? If the later, you may...
