    Could be. You may have to modify it to fit what you have/need.

    Pontoon helm

    That almost looks like it had hydrolic steering. Seastar comes to mind.

    Gas fumes in cuddy

    If the tank or hoses had a leak before, the fuel could have saturated someplace hidden and will smell for a very long time, or may not go away. Might have to dig deeper and remove the contaminated stuff.

    5.7 Volvo Penta Overheating at Idle

    Had one two years ago at the shop. He had the same issue, did everything you did already. I suggested he change the pump itself, it looks perfect, but he did it anyway. problem disappeared. I really think the housing was wore "just enough".

    As far as the bow taking on water over the bow, Demark is correct. However, there should be a snap on cover you can put on there to let most of the water to roll off if you get into a widy/wavey day. Don't ask how I know....

    MerCruiser 3.0 Alpha One, melted water tube base

    Those do melt when overheated. clean up the mating area with a wire wheel and out a new fixture on. Check the exhaust flappers and I bet they melted also.

    Possibly closed to the public. Up here it never closes but in some area's they may stop letting the public in to curb theft's. That wouldn't work to well with the boaters if they closed the gates so you couldn't leave or get there early.

    Mercury 35hp leaking.

    Did you take a boaters safety course? You should even if it's not required. Also it wouldn't hurt to get some maps of the different areas you plan to be in and study them for depth and obstructions, ect.... A good depth gauge on the boat is a must. Make sure all your safety gear is up to par...
