You could use Active Captain on a iPad. AC lets you access the unit via the boats wifi. From there you can access your 8612 and see the screen and operate the unit as if you were right in front of it. The problem with using an iPad or Android is sunlight readability. Just like using your phone...

Never checked mine. Was the water hot on both engines? If you have you're engines interfaced with the chartplotter like my Garmin/Yamaha F150's you will have a temperature gauge for both engines. You weren't getting an alarm so that's good. Are your alarm's working? Turn key to "ON" - alarm...

If they are parallel they should be that same size/type and replaced together when the time comes. I use Group 34M AGM's Dual Purpose for both F150's on my boat. Never a problem.

What size/type of motor? How are your batteries wired? Do you have a diagram like POP? I have 4 batteries in my Islander. I had problems with low voltage warnings after for a few hours. I run all electronics all the time and typically have a livewell and a bait tank running pumps. Pumps may be...

I just assumed you wanted freshwater from your inboard tank. If you want to pull water from outside the boat consider replacing or checking to see if you have one of these livewell pumps...

Livewell pump isn't going to work. They are centrifugal pumps for water volume not pressure. Replace your existing fresh water pump with a ShurFlow Blaster Washdown pump. Install a "T" fitting at the pump and pull off a larger diameter hose to the location of your new freshwater washdown spray...

To check your battery charger and engine charging system... This is a basic system test that can be done with a voltmeter. A Harbor Freight voltmeter is good enough. Start here and others can help going forward. At the dock turns all your electronics on and disconnect the boat from shore...

This switch setup will work but it's not my preference. The unselected battery is there as a spare and only used when switched. Also it's only charging the battery that is being used. Use the boat and if you start to get low voltage warnings dig into the battery health and chargers. I'll...

Based on the diagram engine and house are wired to the common of the switch (top connections). Each battery is wired to switch positions 1 and 2 (side connections). Bilge pumps and a +12 volt constant lead (not sure what this powers) are wired to either battery (bottom connections). The switch...

3M adhesive remover and 3M wheel. There is more to it than getting the vinyl and glue off. The vinyl protects the gel coat underneath from UV. The exposed gel coat is etched away when compounded. When you strip the vinyl it's a high spot you can feel. Previous owner took the vinyl name off...

If your going to label and pull the old harness and built a new one - that makes sense to me. That shrink label maker is a great idea. I'm ordering one today. Curious to know if the "ink" is affected by solvents. Do you need a special Brother label maker to print these or will an older one work?

Start at the battery switches. You can do it by turning one off at a time. See which one affects engine and which one turns the electronics off. I’m using Duracell AGM Marine batteries from Sam’s Club. Worth the price of membership. They are combo starting/deep cycle.

Common question. Search hatch repair on this site. Starboard isn't the answer. Best course of action is to repair the hatch.

Good luck! Sure you can try something. But isn't not going to be a perfect match. Try but it may not look better than doing nothing. Is it really that important? If it bothers you that much replace the whole rub rail.

Spectrum GW color matched gelcoat by year. But a lot depends on the age of your boat. Gelcoat fades and hand tints are frequently necessary on older boats. A little more information from you is necessary. Boat year? Where on boat is the repair. Photo of repair area. On my 25 yo boat the color...

I think that is the right answer. Especially if the boat is far away. Too hard to properly evaluate what you are buying. There are more fish in the sea!

Most of the damage looks like the metal. That shouldn't be that hard to source. That may be enough. Repairing the rail is another story. Replace the whole rail. Perfection comes with a price - pay up or learn to live with it!

Did you fill it from the deck pumpout and empty several times.

Truck looks too low in back. Also looks like its still on the tongue jack. Get it out on some level road. check the trailer for level and see what the truck does. Trailer looks capable. What's the truck capacity - payload and towing? I would get a tongue weight too.

Take a sheetrock knife with fresh blade and cut deep all the way around. It's usually not that difficult - depends on the caulk used. Once out clean all the edges up.
