But no spark plugs :) It's all relative, and there is a bit more maintenance - but in the grand scheme of things, it's minimal. Besides... once you trailer with a diesel, you'll never go back to a gasser! So much more power - and noticeably better fuel economy. Although that economy is...

Look at both ends if you need to. Or send a chase wire and then measure that.

Typically, the lengths are printed on the cable. Do the throttle cable, too.

Did you try the sources mentioned above and/or read each post? Good info up there that might be the solution.

It looks like some type of mechanical control (cables) for maybe sliding the chair? Follow the cables and it should tell you the function.

The pics are quite fuzzy and dark - it's hard to see what you're referring to. But, assuming I have an idea as to what you mean... the remaning piece is plastic, right? You can tap it out with a screwdriver and a hammer... heat up/jam a wide screwdriver or chisel into it... any number of...

The OX's lift pumps have a finite lifespan because of being made out of a thin rubber diagphram. Generally, an electric lift pump is more reliable. That said, I've neve personally seen an electric fuel pump that looks like that - not to say that I've seen everything, though. But I'm curious...

Looks like Bill Boy hasn't been back since posting that about a month ago to answer questions and discuss things.

Have you had the boat since new? That's really, really odd, you know? But stainless CAN rust overtime - especially when left in very wet environments. Stainless only "stains less" than other metals.

I would think you could get a diagram from Grady. I know some manufacturers can provide this, anyways. If you end up not 100% sure... You can always come back and add more!

While I haven't used that specific fitting, I've done plenty of rail fittings using the set screws and it's basically the same thing. It's not uncommon for OEM to build bow rails that way, either.

How far below the cockpit floor are they currently? The absolute closest you could go to the floor BOTTOM is determined by the scupper hose, fitting, and access. The hose is roughly 2" OD. So that's your bare minimum - although that would be really tight. Better to go a little further and...

Depends on how you're using the battery. If it's used with not too much "engine off" time, then all you really need is a good marine cranking battery. Deka's are reliably one of the best out there. Their group 24 M7 would be perfect - we've been using those at the shop for all of our...

Did the same thing on mine. I went to vinyl as it's easy to keep clean, as opposed to a cloth. I increased the thickness of the foam to 4" and went with a medium density foam. My hips don't "bottom out" on the foam - but it's not too firm, either.

Chances are "higher" that an older GW (or almost all boats) will have water somewhere. But that's not to say that ALL older boats have issues. In the end, it all depends on how it was maintained.

OK, that makes much more sense! :) (Edited for better clarification) So... some of the boats are built without "limber holes" (Google it if you need to). Which means, yes, water will always collect there -- if it somehow finds it's way there - although generally those areas that are lateral...

What is "framing"? It'd probably be best if you upload a few pictures.

A porta-potti is nice becasue it is so simple to use/take care of and it's pretty much dirty simple. Not a bad idea you have there. Hose replacement is pertty much the same on all boats - a royal PIA. They usually "just barely" fit through the drilled holed but since they sometiems...

Plain steel, transom wood that's open to the environment....

If all of the speaker wires don't go the head unit, which is likely, then they go to your amp. Find your amp and check wires... then ID which wires go to which speakers. You can switch them around to test speakers, too.
