    1st Boat and owner of a boat (let's be clear here🤣)

    Start at the battery connections and then the starter connections, and check the grounds too. On mine the tab on the connector broke off at the starter fuse. zero power to anything. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51A-DGkLb2L._AC_UY218_.jpg

    3.0 lost all power!

    I found a pack of 3/8 x #6 wire crimp connectors. The stud on the starter fuse is 5/16 so I drilled a couple of real copper penny's out to 5/16 to make washers to clamp them good. So far so good.

    3.0 lost all power!

    FYI, if you ever lose all power suddenly, check the wires at the starter. There are 2 number 8 or number 10 wires that go into a single connector. The thin blade on that connector broke off at the lug on the starter terminal, Total sudden loss of power. 2004 3.0 merc with I/O unit.

    To shallow?

    Sand shouldn't hurt your hull, watch for rocks and pay attention to tides.

    looking for a place to install pole holders on my bow runner.

    One of the only flat places I have is on the swim platform. The gunwales are curved. I have cup holders I may be able to convert. Other ideas?

    How hot is too hot for a boat with a black boat cover in the Sun.

    I see nothing melting but I can smell gas under the cover, I suppose it's gas in the carb vaporizing, I see no leaks.
