    Tow rope to Talon bracket?

    I think you are making the wise choice. Have fun pulling the kiddos! It’s one of my favorite boating activities.

    Tow rope to Talon bracket?

    That bracket will destroy your tow rope in short order. And when it breaks, that metal hook will go flinging back toward the kids on the tube. Not a great solution, I'm afraid.

    Smoked meatloaf (pork and beef always!) is even better if you wrap it in a lattice of bacon strips before smoking!

    Grady transom repair

    I'm not sure I'd call pourable composite transom material 'snake oil' since SeaCast has been used successfully for quite some time, but I do agree that if the transom is termite-ridden, your stringers probably are, too.

    Bunk lag bolts

    If you get good galvanized lag bolts (e.g., hot dipped), you should be OK. Avoid cheapo galvanized bolts. Or you can order stainless from McMaster-Carr: https://www.mcmaster.com/products/lag-screws/super-corrosion-resistant-316-stainless-steel-hex-head-screws-for-wood/

    Battery connections

    Is it common practice for one's boat to be disconnected from the battery while in storage?

    newb w/ 87 Bayliner Volvo Penta, cracks where outdrive mounts?

    Sorry, looks like replacing a transom (and probably stringers) is in your future. It’s a bummer to find that kind of rot, but many of us have been there, too.

    Ok. Trailer time!

    I don't know where you are in Illinois, but I've dealt with these guys before and they were good to do business with: http://www.needatrailer.com/ Might be easier to get a used trailer that going the HF route...

    Ok. Trailer time!

    I'm in Illinois, too. When I was first looking to buy a boat, we found one that came from Wisconsin, where a trailer title is not required. In Illinois, a title is required and after a lot of reading and research, I decided it wasn't worth the effort to buy an untitled boat. There are options...

    Engine Alignment tool goes in about 1/4 of the way, question.

    There must be some miscommunication. The image below (from service manual #17) clearly shows the alignment tool bottomed out in the coupler.

    Wheel bearing grease "oozing"

    That was my thought, too. I wonder if the inner seal is blown out from all that grease.

    Grooves worn in driveshaft

    Just wanted to follow up with some resolution to my problem with the drive not holding pressure. After getting distracted with several other projects, I got back to the outdrive. I split the drive again and I noticed there was some crud that seemed to be interfering with the quad ring sealing...
