I suggest you determine how bad the rot is. Since you are willing to cut the transom, you might as well drill a few holes in the transom to see if you hit solid wood, no wood, or mush. (don't drill through the inner skin :( ). A moisture test with the right tool and someone who knows how to use...

Yikes, 50 years of Grady's and this is your first post???? wow

I assumed the OP has the standard issue Garmin Fusion

The setting on the head end is adjust zone volume. I don't know if that helps your issue. The following type of speaker would probably help...

Sounds like a spun prop symptom to me. The prop could be wrong also. That can cause excessive prop slip. The sound you hear when the motor revs up and speed drops off can be ventilation not cavitation. What hole of the engine mounted in? Can you tell if the ventilation place remains below the...

I should add that I don't remember colors well. I am not color blind technically speaking. I call my issue color deafness, similar to tone deafness for sounds. So when I say to attach the test wire to the purple wire for the gas tank, I mean the 'pink' purple wire:)

max hp is 250, Hull was originally equipped with an F150 I doubt that twins could be mounted (space and loading of transom) Weight wise the Yami f200 I4 would be a good replacement option.

I didn't type what I meant to say! In my tight slip, DIGITAL controls are a big improvement for maneuvering. So many points I made were incorrect. I have no idea what I was thinking about. That said, I am going to delete my original response, lick my wounds, and hide:)

Where's the fun in that? That boat has a 200 gallon capacity. Even if the tank is 1/4 full, that's still a decent amount of fuel to pump out. If the tank is close to full, you can't remove the sender without leaking gas into the bilge. My nerdy approach does not require the sender to be...

Fuel used and fuel flow do not use the tank level. That's good. The bad.. Calibration of the tank level per Yamaha, requires an empty tank and filling it with know amounts of fuel, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full But that is a pain to do especially with larger tanks. Once you select the calibration/tank...

Yes if you don't have shore power connected.

connect the green clip to a grounded part of the boat. Connect it first. Grounded parts could be a negative buss or as mentioned a negative battery post. The purpose of the ground is to discharge any static buildup in the transfer pump. The green connection is not bonding. It is in theory earth...

This was an old post and I am confused what the question is exactly. What are you transferring gas to and from?

Connect what?

Don't confuse grounds with bonding. I wouldn't expect your boat to be bonded. Green color is for ground wires. Bonding wire may be bare and bonding is a whole different thing
