    Snapped screws in carb...

    Ya know, I have come across a couple over the years that have locktite-Red- on them. UGH. I don't know what people are thinking when they use that in a un-needed situation. The worst I've had to do was use blue on one of mine for the bottom plate that kept coming loose.

    Snapped screws in carb...

    Imho, when I find that situation, the carb is more than likely corroded in other way's also. You may not be able to see the damage in those tiny ports, but rebuilding may not cure running issues. I know replacement is expensive but sometimes it's the only option.

    Slow leak from top cap plate of Bravo 1

    It's not going to hurt putting the perfect seal on there. I'd pressure check now as it will give you all winter to address any issues if they crop up

    Battery storage in parallel?

    I make sure they are fully charged unhook and leave them in the equipment. If they fail in the spring they were at the end of their life anyway.

    Gas tank size

    As big as you can fit without getting in the way. However, depends on how long you are staying out, and what you are doing.

    Volvo Penta AQ140 water coming out of carbs.

    That is not good. Don't know what the issue is but that is a water pump, not a motor. Time to pull the motor, pickle it and start looking for the issue?

    Block sealant...in a raw water system

    I dremeled out the crack a bit, cleaned it well and put the jb in, smoothed it with my wet fingers, then dabbed a shop rag to make it look like cast. A little paint and you cant see where the repair is. Two motors of mine that havent leaked in 5 years.
