Where do they originate? Are you prewired to the chain locker?

I don't understand whay the surveyor didn't test to determine the scope of the moisture. If it was a large area, the coring is wet but if it was limited to small area around the mounting screws, it was probably not a big issue. If you have a wet transom, you can suck with a vacuum forever and...

There is no hard and fast rule for the life expectancy of a tank. One thing you can do as preventative maintenance it to use your nose! Pull the deck plates over the tank ends and smell. If there is always a smell of gas, you may have a leaky tank. The smell could be hoses too. If the fill hose...

The scuppers may or may not be under water but will definitely be closer to the water line. Although the boat may seem OK when you are at the helm, the lower scuppers may become submerged when you and maybe your passengers move aft. You don't need to have a 150 pound person sit on the motor...

Exactly...

Your thrus are probably the scoop/thru hull combo type. These casting have ribs that allow water and small things to pass but block larger items. The ribs will degrade over time and can collect marine growth such as barnacles depending on where you boat. My point is that the strainer sections...

Blowing out may not get all the water. In addition, your water tank is vented, probably to a clamshell fitting. You could also blow apart a connection if too much air pressure is used.. It is best to empty the tank as much as possible by running something like a faucet or spray shower fitting...

If it phase separated it is shot. Polishing won't help. Also, I am no expert on polishing but I see its value for diesel fuel but not so much for gasoline.

Do your switches have corresponding breakers? Do you know if the AUX positions actually power anything? If one is free, it could be used. If I read your possible plan correctly, you are asking about daisy chaining a secondary fuse block off of the main feed of the primary fuse block. That will...

I have seen similar events in other members' boats. I know for certain that too much stabilizer can cause issues but that event seems to be more common with specific brands. I have also seen the water problem in tanks that were treated for storage. I wonder if there may have already been water...

There seem to be more variables than you would normally think. I have never filled my tanks for winter storage and have left whatever gas was in the tanks after the boating season and that is usually 1/4 tank or so. I never had had a water issue in the spring. ( I do add stabilizer and run the...

Do you have and spare switch positions ( perhaps labelled AUX and not connected to anything?)

Just want to point out that if you have actual phase separation, there is no way to get the alcohol to remix with the gasoline to make ethanol. At some point you could be burning pure alcohol and that can be disasterous. Another point is that bad orings on the fill caps in my opinion is a...

Since there are limits to the transit power and receive sensitivity one would have to potentially boost both the user device and the cell tower signal strength.

Easiest? If you need or want to get all the gas out, you need to remove the sender flange and sender and pump out the tank. You also need to have the hull slightly angled towards the rear of the tank. Since the pickup tube sits a 1/2 inch to an inch above the tank bottom, just using the fuel...

I got it. I thought that might be the case but the arrow was so far off, it confused me ( a more frequent event these days)'

What does the "fill with 2 part epoxy' instruction mean?

Call Grady and ask.

Note that often the diagram and switch/breaker arrangement may not be an exact match for your switches. The manual is a good reference as a starting point but you should verify what each switch controls. It is also possible that a switch position originally labelled AUX was wired after the boat...

Glacierblaze is correct. Disconnect the steering rod at the motor to see if the motor itself turns freely. It probably will. A steering box and cable that old probably need replacement, even if it turns out that the box is bad. It makes no sense to change it and not the cable. The motor may have...
