    350 Mag MPI Horizon died at sea, cannot find the problem.

    Sea water pump

    What you could do is disassemble the pump before buying parts. Could be it just needs a new seal and not shaft and bearings. Thinking the seal should not have come out unless there is a problem, so probably needs them but always good to check

    Sea water pump

    I like it, and looks like the bearings a sealed so no need for grease Also he notes that using just a automotive pulley remover/installer is all you need, but he used a press.

    Painting a new transmission

    Don't forget to protect against galvanioc corrosion. Guessing your going to use steel bolts to mount the trans and motor together. Look for dissimilar metals and coat surfaces and fasteners accordingly

    Gas leak gas freezeing

    That's cool but, it says super cooled (-10*) and list done quickly Standard freezer inside a styrofoam cooler, don't get the cooler in a freezer but think that has something to do with it. Water in a boat would not be quick cooled

    Oil coming from exhaust riser rubber coupling

    Sounds like there was an issue, and with oil coming out the exhaust, it either has a cracked head, piston or block Do a compression test, but for the most part it does appear you will need to rebuild or replace

    Oil coming from exhaust riser rubber coupling

    What motor, and serial numbers are best? This is a new problem, as in the motor could reach WOT before? Check the oil and is it low now? Any water in the oil, milk looking?

    Toilet Installation Mishap . . .

    I don't know anything that can glue it back on and hold. Suggest fab an aluminum plate to fasten to all 3 bolts Also suggest when installing next, the tank doesn't need to be real tight (Just replaced 2 my self last year in rental, American Standard Champion-4, only one with 4 inch flush valve)...

    motor dies and has no battery power battery

    Well not an OB guy, and would probably get more input in that section. You said the motor stops, meaning its running fine and without touching anything it shuts down? Do the gauges say ON, and are there any beeps or other things? Kill switch? Bad connection on the key switch?
