    fuel tanks at marine surplus stores?

    I am trying to find a tank similar to my old one. I'd like to avoid the cost of having a custom tank fabricated for me. Does anyone have any stores or websites they recommend for me to try? FYI the boat is a 1982 Wellcraft V20 cuddy cabin. The old tank was 60 gallons and was 26"W x 60"L, but...

    1994 Intruder 175HP seized up

    trouble replacing ignition switch on remote throttle (red plug type)

    After replacing the ignition switch, what I thought was wire-for-wire, the engine tries to start when I turn the key to the ON position.

    interlux perfection

    I just applied the third coat of Perfection to the topside of my boat. Every coat seemed to leave mini bubbles which I haven't been able to avoid. So after each coat I sand. My question... do I sand after the final coat? If I don't sand, the finish is mirror-like glossy, but there are a...

    1984 E185TLCRS compression

    What should the compression be? I bought an older boat and checked compression right at 75 each cylinder. This seemed low, but they were consistent. It's a project boat and I haven't decided what to do about the engine yet. I haven't attempted to run it yet.

    wiring gauges/meters

I understand the G terminals to be ground (black wire), the + terminals to be 12V which I've tied into the switch that controls my running lights (red wire), the S terminals where applicable are senders which connect to the device they are measuring from...
