    bilge problem

    What flashback said. What make and model is it, as others have said it may be normal for that pump.

    power pack testing

    That's an old classic meter, I have'nt seen one of them since I was studying electronics in the late 70's. It should work but a digital meter is better and more accurate. I'm not sure what you're measuring, if it's a fast voltage spike the meter may not be able to respond quick enough.

    New Fuel Gauge and Fuel Sending Unit, are still not showing any readings?

    Why are you replacing the fuel gauge and sender? If you were having a problem with them what was the problem? Have you confirmed the fuel tank is grounded? When you measured 12v on the sender where did you have the neg lead? Did you have it on the tank, that's if it's a metal tank?

    Earmuffs & Peeing

    Do you know how old the impeller/pump is? You may have already fried it but if you don't know how old it is you may want to replace it anyway.

    Hose connection in transom well?

    Aerator question

    How many terminals are on the back of the switch? I'm guessing you need a DPDT, double pole double throw switch. Look them up online and make sure the switch is rated for at least 12vdc. Disregard the AC rating.

    New Boater / Chartplotter / VHF

    If you are new to boating and plan on going offshore I suggest you take a coast guard class and hook up with a local experianced person to learn from. To answer your radio question the feature you're asking about is called DSC. I believe all new radios come with that option. In case of distress...

    EPIRB model to get?

    PLB's and EPIRB's use satellite communication so your distance from land makes no difference. In fact some hikers/campers use a PLB due to it's small size. That's what I have and take with me whenever I fish on any boat.

    What are these for, Please?

    As others have said, trace them out. Is there any voltage across them?

    My fishfinder just shows me 1.3 ft depth now wherever I am.

    I agree with the others, time for a new unit you got your moneys worth. Just for a fast test unplug the xducer cable and see if the readings change.

    "How do you keep the PVC from falling over or do you cinch the cover up so tight they can't move?" Yup, that's all you have to do.
