I have a FIRM policy about boats, unless I wired it I strip ALL wires out and rewire EVERYTHING myself. Always home run to my fuse panel, I never use in line fuses................ but that's just me...... Life is too short to chase electrical gremlins that someone else left behind..... And...

When I buy a boat I start a "file" and add all of the papers related to that craft. Titles, receipts, etc. etc. When I sell that boat it goes to the new owner, after that there's no telling what happens......

Does your stereo have preset AM/FM stations? If so the memory pulls power 24/7.

I believe I suggested that solution in post 11 back in April......

2 Coffee breaks??? Sounds like the 6 pack air filter change on my pickup..... LOL...

A lot of "houseboats" are actually built on a barge hull for the size and stability. At least that's what I have seen on most lakes in the mid west areas.

Think about using RAM mounts. They have endless possible combinations and are much sturdier than they look. I used one on the Little Boat (it was the most logical choice) and am surprised by it. Glad I tried it...... DUH...... never mind.....

"Cruise" several Marina's and see what's there for ideas..... The trip cruising them could be an adventure in and of itself......

I'm sure ya;ll know that there are different levels of inflation/flotation?? One is in the 20's and uses the small cartridge and the other is in the 30's and uses the large canister. Make sure you have the larger type and you should be okay.....

In today's world it depends on who your talking to.....

Find it somewhere else...... Don't forget most pieces come in 8' lengths.....

Standard Horizon hands down. I have 3 and wouldn't own anything else....

Does the fuel delivery system have a "fuel demand valve"?? If so, eliminate it and see if that solves the issue.....

A nice, pleasurable cruise doesn't always involve getting on plane.... There's a LOT to be said for slow and easy.....

The console in my Alumacraft is aluminum and came from here: https://www.akmccallumco.com/ They also have a bunch of related stuff not on the web site, just ask.....

Do you realize that the jack plate also sets the motor back?? Almost un avoidable.... Check Tiny Boat Nation for a "Transom Plate".... https://tbnation.net/products/transom-mounting-bracket If you order make CERTAIN of your existing transom thickness.....

Ya'll going about this the HARD way. TH Marine makes what they call a "Mini Jacker" that bolts to the transom and is fully adjustable that allows the use of a long shaft on a short transom. I used it to mount a long shaft Merc (20") to the short (16") transom of my 1448 Lowe. Sold the boat and...

Everything in your boat that is electrical should be "home run". That is, an individual ground and an individual positive. I would NOT recommend using the hull as a ground like in a vehicle. Use a QUALITY fuse block (Blue Seas) and it will have both connections.

I have found Pex easier to work with due to it's flexibility, just as durable but easier to install....
