Kevgle, from that picture, I don't see any reason to repalce the hull fitting. It looks perfectly fine.

Bronze is a much more durable metal. SS will corrode underwater.

I think the confusing part was the "sender" on the dash. The senders are the pieces in the tank... a sender "sends" information. Toggle vs rocker makes no difference. You should only need one "sender" wire going to your fuel gauge. You switch receives the two individual signals from the...

I was/am confused by that terminology, too.

Your schematic seems to show up well - Chelsea, it must be on your end? But, yes, please post a pinout for your particular gauge. Also, as mentioned, did you trouble shoot the problem before replacing it? Verified that both senders (and feed/ground wires) are good?

Can you clarify? The "transom" is the part the motor is mounted to. The "deck" is what you walk on. I'm not sure if you're talking about the deck drains or the actual scuppers at the transom. As mentioned, typical scuppers are super easy to replace. The deck drains can be harder, depending...

Sorry, I'm only familiar with the kind that starts at the stern on the starboard side and finishes at the stern on the port side. I am VERY familiar with all kinds of rubrails, but still don't know what kind you have. And, what does this mean (it's really hard to understand what you're...

Guys (mod?), I've said it before... there's something strange about Gary's posts. Gary, if you are truly trying to help, forgive me - but responding to a 14-year old post (and your post doesn't seem to make sense) is questionable. Many of your posts also seem to have questionable links to try...

Are you sure that's rust? Rust Out or Iron Out will do it if it is. If it's just dirt/grime, clean it. Is the stopper pitted (which would mean it's chrome)? It looks like it is... unless you posted a picture that has water droplet on it. You can shine it up a bit with a metal polish like...

Is it the rubrail or the rubrail insert? What type of rubrail (or insert)? There's different kinds out there and I can't see your rubrail from where I am.

FYI, call Dometic not Domestic :) As noted, just give them a call.

Like I mentioned above, from actually owning the same boat, 200 would do it. BUT... in the HISTORY of boating, NO ONE has ever muttered the words: "Shoot, I shoulda bought the smaller engine!" :)

Yup - that'll work. No need to go and get something new or pay more than you have to in this case.

I have a 250HP on a bracket of my Offshore. That is WAY more than enough - even with 4 or 5 people in the boat, Ibarely need to use 1/3 throttle to get on plane. The boat is amazingly quick out of the hole with practically no bow rise. I have no doubt that a 200HP would work well on the boat...

Re-read what I wrote. Using 4200 CAN hurt. Never assume you won't have to replace it (or the next owner).

Just some sealant around the top is all that is really "needed", but it certainly can't hurt to add it to both places. Just use a sealant, though, you don't really need anything "adhesive" here since it's a mechanical connection. Using an adhesive only makes removal harder down the road - it...

Sure, that's doable. It's just gonna involve some labor. Even thought this would be easy, I probably wouldn't use the existing aux fuel fill/line, though. It's too close to the other fuel fill and that's a disaster waiting to happen. You'll need to get a cover plate for the aux fill. The...

If I'm understanding #1 correctly, you're concerned about an issue when paralleling all the batteries together? No, that won't cause an issue. You can have multiple sources of charge input. You could actually do all this with a single 1-2-Both-Off switch, if you wanted. The DC's (essentially...

How far over the edge would the Allsalt base stick over? You could trim the base. Missing one securement bolt wouldn't affect anything - and you shore it up better if needed. Some boats come standard with a "clipped" base. I suppose, in the end, it comes down to form vs function and that...

So... you "could" eliminate the slider/swivel assembly and lose a couple more inches. Would that be enough? How high is the shockwave to start with? How much will it compress under normal body weight? If you make a wide box (raised floor) to put on the floor (would give you storage, too)...
