    Exhaust manifold/risers/elbow question

    Guessing your open (raw water) cooling and not closed, correct? Bolts can be reused provided they are fully intact and have not been reduced by rust. If bolts are over torqued they can be compromised, but assuming your motor has not been touched they should be fine Yes have a look at elbows...

    Voltage goes higher than 14.5V because the ALT sense (purple) wire is not connected or making a bad connection. The Bat cable Red and Red/Purple wire gets connected directly to the starter post. The Orange wire goes to the ALT and gets connected to the 90 amp fuse. Yellow/Red connects to...

    Dual battery or booster pack?

    That model list as marine rated https://www.amazon.com/Stinger-SGP32-Battery-Relay-Isolator/dp/B001HBYXVS?th=1 But I would recommend a ACR because they protect both Bats and charging is better https://www.bluesea.com/products/category/35/Automatic_Charging_Relays

    bravo1 outdrive trim tab

    Never saw a Bravo drive with one of those because Bravo's always have power steering. Those were used on some Alpha with 4 cyl motors and no power steering. If you have power steering you don't need it

    Inherited boat, how bad is this?

    ^^^ Agree with airshot, part out what you can. The Merc 260 isn't worth that much except to someone which can not afford to rebuild their own motor, same with the drive. The trailer looks in good shape, but looks can be deceiving Ask around on the Baja facebook page, might find someone looking...

    Inherited boat, how bad is this?

    It will cost more than 1K, depending on the rot I would estimate 3K and that is knowing the motor and drive only need maintenance. I would estimate 2 months minimum and that means your a quick study with fiber glass work
