You could easily make some type of sturdy box, which could also double as storage. I'd make it very close to the exact footprint of the existing footwell area, using existing structures to hold it in place (walls, seat bases, etc). You want to be able to remove it when necessary, so don't make...

Don't know if this correct, but I thought I had read that it was one of their most popular models of all time? The Explorer, that replaced it, I believe has the same specs... was it "replaced" in name ONLY? The number of owner's with a particular model on a forum, though, is no indication of...

You're welcome!

Your fuel tank "coffin" will be isolated from the bilge that is forward of it since that fwd bilge will through the coffin (through a PVC tube) to the aft bilge. However the coffin is NOT isolated from the aft bilge - unless, as you discussed, you plug the coffin hole. So... yes, and no - the...

For the genny, no. That's a drain and fill type thing... or at least drain and pour into the strainer like mentioned above. You "could" just pour AF into the strainer without first draining, but there's always a risk of the AF mixing with water or a pocket of water-only remaining. You could...

Yes, definitely pay attention to the AC and genny. The genny is like an inboard engine - it doesn't automatically drain like an OB because the engine situated horizontally, not vertically. This might be a good option for you this year... hire someone to do it that would be willing to let you...

For the hot water heater, just drain it. Then bypass it so you're not pumping pink stuff into it, otherwise you'll need to use too much as you'd have to fill it before it came out any faucets. And you don't have to worry about flushing it. You can buy bypass kits, or just connect the cold...

Keeping it simple... with it in the Off position, what doesn't work? FYI, that's a resettable breaker. Also... check your wiring diagrams. Chris... are you still there?

Yes, diaphragm... I was trying to think of the correct word as I was typing and that was the best I could come up with!

Just kinda thinking outloud here - I'm only the fringe of my "carb" knowledge here, so maybe someone else can help clarify... It sounds like fuel is draining out of the bowl. But I think in order for that to happen, the low pressure pumps on the side of the crankcase would have to be allowing...

Any clean area in the back third, or so, of the hull bottom will do - no obstructions in front of it... other intakes, strakes, etc - that part you're going to have to check for yourself since we wouldn't know what's been done to the boat over the years. There's no "best" place - so do it where...

Yup, you add the cocktail mixture pretty much anywhere. Do it wherever it's most convenient for you. The sprayless connectors can be used anywhere, too. Vapor Separator Tank. It's where the hi pressure tank lives - the thing you should drain once in a while as sometimes sedimiment can...

It's just a plug in a female socket. It's "extra". Remove the AS valve from the pickup... remove the pickup completely... remove the sender. Any of those would work.

As asked above... carb'd or F.I.?

Just for clarification, it was never "sealed" to start with - so you are no "re-sealing". But I'll third what's already been said. This is not an area where you want to experiment. We have no idea how old your boat is, but if you have pinholes on the top, the bottom can't be far behind. You...

I couldn't tell you off the top of my head, but you should be able to find this in the owner's manual. If you don't have the original, you can download from GW's site. However, there is no reason to do everything as Grady did. They put it together before the whole boat is together... much...

And... I would look into quick disconnect fittings for your fuel line to make this even simpler. Attwood sprayless connectors are nice. Put a set on the boat side of the bulb (no need to buy a hose with bulb for the portable tank) as Seasick mentioned. Then, put the matching connector on the...

Yup, 12V... unless you've converted everything in your boat over to 24V :)

I can appreciate your situation, I really can. However, unless it's money you paid directly to the dealer, the costs you incurred are part of your "due diligence". It's quite possible that the current owner of the boat did not know anything (or lied) about it being stolen or how many owner's...

Depends on your bow setup and what you're doing. A pic and more description would help.
