What fish boxes are you referring to? The lockers behind the two helm seats?

Since it has a test button, I would think it is a Ground Fault Interrupter/breaker combo

Sometimes boat things are easy. Most of the time it's not so easy!

I second that statement.

It might be. I would see if the panel mentioned is relatively easy to remove.

It is possible that you can't get to the fitting without cutting a hole for a new access plate. First steps are to try removing what ever panels or lids that are near to the fitting to see if you can reach it. It would help to know what the through hull is for. The original owners manual does...

exactly what is left powered up? Do you have a fridge or chillers. Any kick butt stereo? Radar left on? Also something doesn't sound right. You say you have to switch to BOTH to get the first battery charged, If you have to use BOTH to start the first motor, switch the battery switch to the...

I did some research and I am pretty sure a single motor on that hull should be a 30 inch.

I dug further and some fittings say they are USA made. They are some sort of composite material but exactly what composite is not mentioned. Interesting, let's see if anyone else has info

You won't know until you remove the panel

Is this a Chinese Company? I recommend buying brand names that you or others know and use. I've seen too many 316 stainless fittings corrode nd rust. Maybe the stuff is good but I wouldn't be first to try.

Single e\motor? I think a 30 inch is the norm, twins get 25s.

They probably come loose because they were working and getting smaller:) The nearest part for the tab zinc is the tab itself and the nearest area to the metal of the tab is the underside of the zinc.

To a great extent, the corrosion of the tank depends on how wet or dry for that mater, the tank coffin is. Grady recommends that the tank be rinsed periodically to remove salts but that is easy to say but can be hard to do. In many cases the corrosion is worse on the underside of the tank which...

I supposed that you might have mentioned earlier that the motor has recently been serviced :) In addition the fact that it was recently serviced and tested for compression would have been helpful. I read you post as meaning that the boat and motor had sat for years with no service.

What does it mean to say :the motors checked out?) At a minimum, you should do a compression test. More importantly than the hours is when those hours were accumulated. For example, if the boat was used for 10 hours a year, I wouldn't be as concerned compared to the case where the boat has sat...

Look in the bilge aft through the pie plates. Look for sea cocks with levers. At a minimum you would have one but more likely two. Depending on how the boat was rigged, you might have three if the boat has a toilet with overboard discharge plumbing. If so, the hose connected to that seacock for...

I got a pop up ad this morning. Should I have?

Got it.. Let us know what you find.

I read the manual and the transfer function is built-in to the inverter and is automatic, So no manual transfer switch. The AC Input light on the control panel should be lit when shore power connected and off when there is no shore power. In order for the unit to invert, the inverter switch...
