Ah, I see now you are in Canada. I'm in Wisconsin, by thApostle Islands National Lakeshore (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)e Apostle Islands.

Well you could to if you lived here. It's not all fun and games but close. enough for me. National forest for atv, snowmobiling, hunting/fishing, hiking, ect...

You can wire the float to the battery switch itself, on the hot side of of wich ever battery is the house battery. Doing it that way you eliminate the cluster of wires going to the battery. Makes for a much cleaner setup,

You need to replace that mess with some pex plumbing. Looks like some of that is garden hose. Not designed for drinking water or permanent installations. Also that wire nut is a no-no. Abyc standards don't allow them on boats. They can vibrate loose and cause a short, and are not water...

Well something is amiss. Wish I was there to get a look for myself.

Did you replace the lower shift cable? If it hangs up at all you can't adjust it properly. Shooting ideas out here.

There won't be oil in the unit, very few things are shipped with oil. You put it in. Loose washer? Tighten the bolt? Or is it on a mounting bolt? A pic would help. They are hard to turn as you have to move the impeller, and fuel pump at the same time. That belt does a lot of work. I personally...

I live in the apostle Islands area, lake superior. On a good day I'll take out the 17' bowrider and go for a cruise. Have to be careful as the weather can change up here in a heartbeat. I use that boat on smaller lakes also. Other days I take out the 21' deep v and it is still rough at times...

When doing the impellers, I cut the heads off of a couple of longer bolts, put them across from each other and install housing. Then the other bolts lune up much easier. Then remove the cut off bolts and put the real ones in.

No, don't use locktite on the drive nuts. If they are worn, you replace them.

They stay open. Most grease zerks are open, wouldn't hurt to put caps on them. I'd think the caps would fall off on the u-joints from spinning around that fast.

Do you have a shut off valve in the air line? With a regulater like that it will hold the pressure as thats what regulaters do.

Look for filters in the lines. I've seen them so plugged up water can't flow. Usually there is one before the pump, sometimes there is a bigger one somewhere in the system for the drinking water side. And possibly a check valve someplace?

Is the rig new to you? Seems someone has been messing with the plumbing.

Don't know why you would hammer in anything without knowing what it does.... Regardless, make sure the area is clean and jb weld it. Don't know if it goes to the oil side of the unit but at least make sure its sealed. I'd do a pressure check once assembled.

Yes, it may not lay down perfect but it would work. I'd use cabosil in the epoxy.

Also, use dielectric grease on the spark plug wires and dizzy ends if you haven't already.

It'll mirror through. Either sand the glass or gel it's up to you. Another method is to lay a thin water resistant filler material over the glass before the gel goes down. Sand that smooth first.

I'd go to the coil as you stated it's black on top. Carbon tracking would do that. You said the mechanics change the plugs three times? Don't use champion plugs, it's a Chevy block, from my experience Chevy don't like champ's.

What brand of plug wires. You can't go cheap on them. They are always damp till the motor warms up. Seen that happen more than once.....
