    Mercruiser 4.3 alarm won’t stop

    its proper marine gear oil. also make sure that you followed the manual on the fill proceedure since the boat sat for 7 years. you will most likely have to pull the reservoir out and clean it out as the factory Mercruiser oil has a bunch of wax and other fillers in it that drop out of suspension.

    check the props also, check to see if you have a dead cylinder. a motor with a dead cylinder will idle fine, however have a bit of vibration under load.

    Feed to hot water cylinder

    do you mean a heater core? if so, just cap/plug them. the port on the pump is the return, the port on the manifold is the supply. however just plug them if you want to remove the heater core.

    the bulkhead adds structure, however not really needed so close to the bow. I would personally just glue it in with sika or 5200. however if you want to tab it, then glue it in, then tab.
