I have never had this problem, but if I may jump in. I would suggest using a capacitor on these systems. Auto batteries are notoriously unstable in voltage. From what I have seen, most riggers are wired straight to the battery or an distribution block. Low voltage circuit boards really really do not like voltage flux. These riggers use a lot of power in a hurry.
For example, I had a problem this winter with lights dimming when my plow was moving. I installed a capacitor and all better.
I am installing a full farad capacitor this spring as a preventive measure. $89 is cheap insurance.
Just remember to put anything you got for free as a multiplier at the end.

Tyler is a douche, but he puts in the time. More than any other boat. As a trust fund spoiled kid, he's actually working...and hard.

To test the inverter is pretty easy. First verify you have 12vdc coming in to the a unit, then verify you have a good ground (ohms from the negative terminal on inverter to a solid ground should be less than 1ohm). Then look inside, there could be an internal fuse. If you have power in, and no 120v out, time to replace.
I found this stick type epoxy that's rated for 700f and specifically says "marine engine block" in the recommended uses section. What do I have to lose? Gonna give it a shot. Still want a new motor if anyone is selling one!
The water jackets are split wide open. That's what I'm asking for is a used block, maybe someone has one available on the cheap? I spent all my money buying and rigging the boat, buying all the tackle, and fillin the gas tank!
Bought a new (old) boat last fall. Filled it up and found water shooting out of the water jacket...both sides. Need a new one!
5.0 liter (305ci) Mercruiser. It will take a 305 or 350. It is a 1987 model, but I don't think that matters much. I am not a motor expert. Looking for something I can drop in. Peripherals like starter, power steering pump, etc I can handle swapping.
