remove the sender and plug a actual mechanical gauge into the motor

oil has never killed a bearing , lack of though is another story. With no history then I suggest a full transom package. all bellows, gimbal bearing , shift cable ,

Turn the key to "on" look at and remember the voltage reading on the gauge start engine raise rpm to 1000 voltmeter MUST read higher than the previous reading or your not charging

never seen a tank with 2 fills and 2 vents . All fills are clearly markesd "GAS" "WATER" "WASTE" . how many batteries are on that side?

got some pics of mine if your interested, basically cut and remove the under side skin, remove all the bad wood and replace, reglass the skin back

port, stbd, and stern center console to stern on the Regulator (2) 9`s and (1) 8 footer

start at the starter, can you jump the starter solenoid and get the motor to turn? Yes, follow the Red wire to the dash No, check the battery, and battery cables, battery cable conections Had a buddy have the same issue with a car, just dead, jumper did nothing, found out the neg battery cable corroded open in the middle of the cable . No visible exterior damage but open in the middle

Preliminary pics of the bolsters for the Regulator, 2 more just like this only 9 footers. Finished pics to follow

start at the starter, jump the small inboard post with the yellow/red wire to the main post on the starter , starter must spin or you have bad battery cable connections

The motors I winterize with the gas mix directly into the fuel pumps has never failed me yet. The ones that dont ,usually have problems with moisture in the fuel including running E-10 fuel. The fuel injectors are also prone to water damage . With the sensors on the newer motor the "cocktail mix" is plugged into the fuel pump not sprayed down the throat

What about raising the seat bases up from the floor ?

dont forget the negative battery cable connections

The mercruiser and volvo engines are both listed as 9 Qts, gm auto might have a smaller pan

If water was present in the fuel ,the fuel pump will go bad from sitting. pull the filter and dump it in a clean container and look
