    Deadman Switch?

    Being a small tiller motor, pull start it can be done but would probably drill a hole to mount the switch. Assume a push to stop switch, so connect the kill switch in parallel with with that switch. The kill switches are made so the pull code will cause the switch to make contact or break...

    EST1 Open

    The Temp gauge and ECM readings do not connect with each other. The gauge could show over 300 and the ECM doesn't care. 2 Beeps can mean any of the items

    Your S/N (thanks) shows a 555 ECM The EST 1 (Electronic Spark Timing) means there is an issue with plug number 1 and its open. If it was ECT (Engine Coolant Temp) which is what you have been looking at. If it is EST then check your plug, plug wires, Dist Cap and Rotor

    Side of floor supports

    Not a naval engineer but I think it might start to crack where the deck connects to the strakes. The pounding of the hull on the outside edge had the deck to keep it from flexing there, and the supports under it kept the rest of the hull from flex. Adding the extra layers will help, just not...

    Exhaust component inspection due to slight overheating

    If motor is actually running hotter I would look for air bubbles coming from the raw water pump to the thermostat housing. Use a shot piece of clear hose to see what's happening. Don't see the flappers causing the issue, and many have used high temp gasket sealer. Most times its not needed...
