    Mercarb 2BBL vacuum hose?

    The base of the carb has a standard vacuum port, it's normally not used in the marine world so it's capped. In an auto it could be used for spark advance. Or maybe the windshield wiper.

    So I became a proud boat owner today.

    Sorry, bag it is a bad description, what I mean is seal all known openings to the hull then put a window fan in the hatch way to build positive air pressure inside the boat. You can then spray soapy water and you can find the leaks. Like testing a tire.

    well....dreaded boat damage victim...need expertise answers

    Toons are a pipe, made in a few different diameters cut to length and brackets with end caps. Boat manufacturers build to what's available. Your marina is stalling for time while they look for salvage toons that will fit to save a buck.

    Marine epoxy/fiberglass in toilet tank?

    I agree, pressure wash the inside and then wash with CLR etc. Lay up the inside with some light epoxy after filling the crack with epoxy filler, and a layer of glass like a bandaid. I patched up a small cement fish pond years ago and as far as I know it's still good.

    My thoughts. If you contracted with a large cleaning company it would probably be a nice gesture to tip the maids as they likely paid by the hour and not much..if you contracted with an individual then be open at the start and ask her to include any gratuities for her and her helpers. .
