Fixing this and that...

No worries if you tossed it. I need to cross check manuals to see if I made a mistake.

The handheld can suffice for now.

Grrrr.
Hose arrived that is supposed to work but I'm skeptical. Can't do a thing in the dark and rain.

May throw in the towel and take it in. I can't spend all available time running to find the frigging right damn hose type. May get the plywood replaced and coated rather than recarpeted.

That's what I would do...  less blood stains.   ;D
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

The batteries, when I first got it were, all jumpered together in parallel and the bilge pump was shorted. Still had a battery leech someplace that would drain the deep cycle battery. Busted out my electronics tech hat and took a meter to the wires.

There are two wires to pumps and the other to the fish finders. There was no current draw on the pumps wire but the fish finders had a .25 amp draw with everything off. Turns out the Lowrance finder was the leech. Pulled the plug and the current draw vanished.

Shopping for an upgrade now.
