OK, got it.

'I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet" There are many people in this sorry world in a lot more dire situations than the price of gas. It's human to bitch and moan but it is humane to care about the less fortunate.

I am not sure it is always necessary to up the power as you say when switching from a single to twins. I would assume ( I may be wrong) that the 300 draws more starting current than the 175. If that is so, as long as you start one motor at a time, the original battery sizing should be...

Those 100a model fuses are ignition protected which may or not be required for your installation. The key difference is the tripping profile. The fuse can handle very large inrush currents for short times. For example, it can carry 150 amps for just about 10 seconds without blowing. If it blows...

Probably not practical for your boat. Your maintenance charging requirements are determined by your usage profile. When the boat is at rest with no to very little discharge, the batteries should stay sufficiently charged for a fairly long time. If you have more current drain, the story will be...

On my 208, I got 7 seasons on the first set and will be on season 8 on the second but I am pretty sure they will need replacement this spring. The batteries are group 24 starting batteries. In normal use applications, the killer of flooded cell batteries is heat so if you boat in Florida, all...

That wasn't so hard to find:) ( it was 8 years ago) Note that since the gel coat is a laminating type, you can use your hull as the base for matching and then just wipe off the test samples.

You can make your own color matched gel coat assuming that you see colors! ( I am a tad color 'deaf') There is a really good video on YouTube channel BoatworksToday. There are a lot of videos to search through and the video is a few years old I think. That said, it was magical to learn how...

!!!!! I made a error in responding. What I meant to say was; In addition, using Seastar fluid in the TRIM pump is a waste of money. The Seastar fluid is expensive. (What happened to my promise to proof read before posting?)

I am curious; Do you have twin engines or a single on your Gulfstream?

I wonder what the impact will be on the used boat market. A lot of folks bought boats and first time boats' during the pandemic.

there are models with suction cup mount models also

That S3U sender has a 1 1/4 inch treaded shaft. It is a water tank/liquids unit. The model S3U-11..... is 11 inches but I would strongly suggest you measure the old unit since your tank depth may be different. That said, testing would be the same as for a fuel tank sender, the sender range is...

There are lots of options on eBay and Amazon Here is one https://www.ebay.com/itm/313121677941?hash=item48e781a275:g:5XsAAOSw3iRe7iTt I don't know whast your needs are. For example, the one I referenced is convex and offers a wide view as you would want for water sports. You may have other...

Sorry, I don't have that setup. I don't know part numbers.

The 'feel' method works well for applications with new crush washers. I know that some mechanics say to never reuse a plug. If that is a sin, I am going to hell:)

I don't know why the tab (anode?) fell off but you should not have to use Loctite on those anodes. Too much is not good. Also note that if you tightened to spec with a torque wrench, the spec has to be adjusted when using a thread locker. The factory spec is for a clean dry assembly. I would...

Got it

I have no experience with your setup but am curious. What does the 'cable steer' for the kicker connect to at the helm?

You will probably be able to make a folded pleat at the bend especially if using flat, non ribbed material. You can also to a point, use a heat gun to soften the vinyl to give a bit more stretch at the bend. Test a scrap piece first. The heat gun can melt and burn the vinyl if set too hot or...
