I did post several things on Sam's forum with regards to the build. It took place from 2007 to 2010 with some very helpful input from Slane....
Perhaps grab a starter button and wire everything direct, bypass the boat systems to remove other variables?
Can you move the crank shaft at the front pulley?
Camera on phone with a flash?
Lithium batteries burn white hot.....just adding that piece to the discussion...
Yes, it's used intermittently to allow your engine to use multiple battery banks as you start. You need to determine the load rating for this...
Yes, it looks very much like a standard parallel starting solenoid for smaller engines. But basically its merely a solenoid. The small wires...
No worries, and glad the issue was quickly resolved. We took pneumatic tools to my hinges to free them from binding, and one set of pistons had...
Thank you. Yes, old photo taken as the airbuses were being remounted. Walker took some abuse during the effort, but all were changed when we...

That's probably the fastest and easiest and most certain path forward. Have you checked the tabs for freedom of movement? Sometimes the hinge...
So, the roof is made of? and leaks how? Lots of solutions out there. The engine, yeah, that might be too far gone, but it also might be worse...
So, you give some advice that could lead to a dangerous outcome, you get called on it with some "New York Straight Talk" while you sit on your bum...
Consider A-head and bypass complete or via a small plastic lifting station? http://www.aheadsanitationsystems.com
There are plenty of naysayers out there, even in this forum, that quickly obtain snarky perspectives they see as "no-risk" despite the non-profit...
If you're going to replace it, why not consider adding a ball valve to the plumbing for the certain ability of shutting off access to your tanks??
And just for fun, I'll give you a hand: Lightened, well, much of that was easy by simply replacing the old Detroits and Allisons with modern Cats...
Your arrogance knows no bounds, yet it's your Achilles and leaves you wanting. You know, in your 20 years of "yacht management" I'm sure you've...
