    welcome aboard you have bad connections, most likely at the starter, or the battery. start by taking apart each connection from the battery, cleaning it until its clean and shiny enough your mother in law would eat off it. then tighten and move on to the next connection

    oil pressure sending units dual station SW gauges, exists any single station sender can work?

    you cant repair the $15 sender. if the harness was submerged in salt water, water will have wicked up the copper. most boat OEMs do not spring for the tinned copper, so you get the black corrosion

    Cheap floor and foam replacement for weekend.

    And you are simply burning twice as much fuel for the same speed Unless you add lifting strakes, the boat is limited at displacement speed Even with lifting strakes, you're going to be sub 30mph with 150hp For example, the forest River tritoon with 3 500hp motors just ran a bit over 100mph...

    5.7gs low oil pressure

    Use a mechanical oil pressure gauge to verify Only way to fix low oil pressure is pull the motor, inspect all bearings and the oil pump. Then correct what is out of spec Rule of thumb. 10 psi per 1000 RPM for an SBC
