Now that the cast iron plugs are out, you're going to use Brass ones, right?

If you want reliable, use a transducer that requires a hole in the hull- anything else will be less accurate because fiberglass layup isn't perfect and small bubbles can exist, even though it looked good when it was rolled out. If the hull has a deeper V, it will never be totally accurate because its...

A wood like Teak will never look 'new' unless the surface has been removed. This specie and others like it contain a lot of oil and wax (as well as the sap) and once that's gone, it's not coming back. Teak oil is only a temporary step to make it look better, but it will never be the same.

First, if you want to know how flat/level the transducer needs to be, look at the installation instructions for the model you're considering. That will show where it needs to go WRT ANY through-hull fittings, ribs, etc- you don't want the transducer to be located in any area of turbulence that's caused...

I was waiting for the strap to snap and slap him in the face....

I would like to find out how often this boat was cleaned/polished/waxed in the areas where the hull slides and rests on the bunks, as well as how high the bunks are WRT water level and whether the bunks were always wet when loading the boat. If the gelcoat was barely waxed, water WILL enter....

Remember- you're removing gelcoat and it's not an extremely thick coating, so you can eventually reach the fiberglass if you use coarse sandpaper. Best to remove the crust with chemicals, then start at 600 grit unless it has deep gouges, which need their own type of care.
It's a brutal...

Well, that's the thing- if an injected engine knocks, the ECM pulls back the timing to whatever extent is needed and that limits performance.
There's a whole lot of small engines that are injected, too- lawn mowers, snowblowers (we can explain those to you guys who never see snow, if...

Lower octane burns faster, which can cause detonation (knock or pinging) in hot, dry air and hard acceleration/load. If it calls for 89, it's better to go high than low....

Why 91, unless they call for it? Do they sit for long periods? What does your truck actually need?...

It's a long read, but this should be a consideration-

For cranking, they're not really necessary. For house batteries, they're barely necessary...

Different battery chemistries require different charging methods- deep cycle batteries can receive constant full charge level but flooded lead/acid can't if long life is a goal. The others (AGM, LiFePo4, LFP, Carbon foam, etc), have their own requirements and tolerances.

How long it takes depends on who's building it and how organized they are. First step: make sure all of the parts were included, next is group them as they'll be needed. Then, lay out the main components in a way that makes assembly as obvious as possible....

PA will approve a home-made trailer? That's risky beyond words....

I would contact the manufacturer- have you read the manual, to see the instructions for setup?...
