Ditto to what has been said, adding the question; " Do the gauges power up and go through the initial self test?" When you say that the speedo stopped working do you mean the gauge is blank or do you mean the speed displayed is incorrect. If th later, you probably have a pitot tube issue on...

And why is that a problem? What's more important to determine if the set up is working is knowing the WOT revs, adjusting engine trim for max RPM, the GPS speed at cruising revs ( not necessarily WOT) and of course the prop specs diam and pitch) From there we can see how your setup is working out.

If mineral deposits are left on the glass for long periods and exposed to sunlight, the minerals will etch into the glass and bond to it. That type of staining may be impossible to remove. There are commercially available spot removers but they probably won't work on etched in spots. You might...

Horns go bad all the time, work on that last. Which radio, VHF? You need to take a look at the back of the radio and find the power and ground wires, probably red and black. There is a chance that the red wire has an inline fuse along the wire run. Where is the radio, under the helm, flush mount...

Unfortunately, I am having more of those lately.

At least I know that my posts are read. Did I say pickup??? Oops.

There are four cushions for the 208 cabin: Port and starboard 'soft' cushions. Each side has different dimensions. The over the porta potty 'hard' cushion. This is a heavy stiff bottom cushion that sits over the space where the porta potty is ( or was) The fourth cushion is similar construction...

It may be a bit late. It is possible that the coring is soaked or that the glass has delaminated leaving a space for water to collect. When you added the brace and tightened the bolts, you squeezed the transom and the resulting oozing water had to go somewhere.

I concur, you probably left off a ground wire, perhaps the short one that ties the two negative terminals to each other.

You must have better luck than I do, I have often broken off SS screws on motor parts, like brackets, anodes, ground lugs etc.

Try a test lamp with an incandescent bulb and see if it lights when the test tip is touched to the 12 feed lead. Then move along to the terminal f the lamp and see if it lights. Bad grounds are tough to isolate using a DVM.

The high voltage is measured wit the fixture n the ON state would indicate a bad ground.

If they used SS bolts and washers on aluminum plate without some sort of sealant as an insulator , there will be corrosion issues . Although the new bolts and plates looks nice and clean, I would rather see sealant ooze to insure sealant was applied.

There may be a problem with the switch. It may have something internal that shorts the power to ground when in the off position. I assume the switch is a console mounted type like a rocker switch. In any case, if possible pull the connector with the wire that feeds the pump and try touching it...

The spec for the access plate is the opening size not the outermost measurement. In your case it looks like a 6 inch model. Here is a link to the Beckson catalog pages for pry out plates. https://www.beckson.com/files/deckplate/180924_deck%20plate.pdf Finding white should be easy. Colors are...

In this specific thread, the OP boat has a combo fill/vent fitting. There is no outside clamshell

Measure the diameter of a circle that lines up with the holes. If that measurement is 2 1/8 inch your gasket is a standard SAE 5 hole version. There are various other size mounts for KUS senders ( including SAE). If you have your sender model number, KUS should be able to give you the gasket specs

Years back I left the gas cap on the gunnel off. We have a horrific rain storms for a couple of nights so to cover all bases, I pulled the sender and pumped out a few gallons from the bottom of the tank. Absolutely no water! My point is that assuming water doesn't pool on top of the fill...

Most likely the other two are spares

It is a standard item. Any marine store would have one assuming it is the round one with five holes. Here is a West Marine sample...
