    2 Fuel Water filters ,2 totally different fuel contents,Fuel pros ,have a look at this

    one filter got a slug of un-diluted stabilizer. BTW, if you run your boat tank close to empty, just fill up in the spring. no stabilizer needed.

    1978 Chrysler floor help?

    if that is a true statement. you are the very very first fiberglass boat to ever need a floor and not stringers or transom out of hundreds of thousands of restorations here on iboats. I seriously suggest you buy a lottery ticket or test drill into the stringers

    Motor mount bed angle

    that is what shims are for and why the mount is semi-spherical. the answer is yes. you can be parallel to the keel or perpendicular to the transom. that 15 degrees wont mater to most mounts I myself like to mount the transom shield, hang and align the motor, then make the mounts parallel to...

    Rewire Electrical

    then go at it a different way. start at the battery, clean every terminal on the way to the motor and up to the helm with sand paper. then seal the connectors with marine electrical varnish

    Blowby through vent tube? Mercruiser 3.7

    looks like the aluminum and ring material may have had condensation sitting on them and it could be galvanic corrosion in the one pic when you zoom in. I would trust a good metal sleeve, however a replacment block would be my recommendation.

    Chartplotter with gauges and future expansion for a lake boat?

    correct. unless you have a need to invest in a complete engine gateway and a second set of sensors. I would skip moving the engine related stuff to the screen. the most important gauge you can get is raw water pressure. https://ww2.iboats.com/Boat-Water-Pressure-Gauges/dm/view_id.248016 a...

    After market fuel pumps

    it should be stamped on your pumps. pull the pump, get the number. HP should be P61171 (you will have to verify) LP could be P61122 (you will have to verify)

    Chartplotter with gauges and future expansion for a lake boat?

    Garmin is fine. Simrad is fine. Both are real chart plotters. however if you want to use as a display vs the gauges you have, you will need to have a NMEA2k compliant motor, or a stand-alone gateway. since we know nothing of your boats motor other than its an I/O in a 18 ft boat. we cant...

    4 to a 2 barrel carb

    unless the guy smashed the carb with a hammer, your best bet is clean the carb on the 3.7. if the carb sat for 3+ months with old fuel in it, the passages will be crudded up anyway.
