    good painters tape works too. However we know that @tpenfield is probably up. Hey Ted, can you answer the length question?

    I woulnt use seacast. however 1/4 or 1/2 ply laminated would be a good start. once you remove the cap you can get eyes on what was done at the factory.

    Explosion and Fire Danger

    your boat is 35 years old. the fuel lines are good for about 15-20 years. have you followed the USCG / IMO requirements on fuel system inspection? if all the lines and the tank are in properly maintained shape, you are fine. No need to add any ventilation if the lines and tank are in proper...

    Bilge Pumps

    I would go with a 1200 GPH or larger. no sense dealing with anything less.

    either the pump cup is not sealing, or one of the two check valves has dirt in it.

    Bayliner color charts for Liberty 2150

    find two colors you like. doesnt matter what the gel was in 1977. there is no extra value in matching a color from 50 years ago. also, gel colors change minutely change from lot to lot as well as with UV exposure. you cant match gel sprayed 6 months ago, much less gel sprayed 50 years ago

    Bilge Pumps

    Sureflow or Rule are the two that I would recommend. for a cheep one, no less than an Attwood. you shouldnt need to put a cage around the pump. just keep the bilge clean.

    RE: Issues with Mercruiser 5.0 LX 4 Barrel Carb

    That is the logic I have with the ignition module, impeller kit, fluid kit, and the spare drive. Just not carrying the drive onboard.

    Battery Options

    A trolling motor may be 24 volt (or 36 or 48). But your outboard is 12 volt

    Be easy on me please. Total newbie.

    NEVER turn a SBC or BBC motor from the crank bolt. it will strip out the crank threads. even trying to turn the motor over during a rebuild without heads can result in stripped threads. the only method of turning a SBC, BBC or one of the derived V6's is with a crank shaft socket. Never...

    before you do any work, you will need to get the boat in your name. since it has a serial number and not a HIN, you are dealing with a boat older than 1972

    Be easy on me please. Total newbie.

    being a 1990 searay that sat. I would seriously do some test drills on the transom and stringers prior to worrying about the motor. my guess is that the boat will need about $5k worth of hull restoration long before you have to worry about the motor.
