Have same engines with set-up as JSK55 mentions . Thankfully no issues till now after 1600 hrs and trips of 800nm.:)

On my previous boat, it had both a fuel gauge and a glass sighting tube. Back than the new to me boat was reading 3/4 to 1/2 full fuel approx. After using the boat a couple of times the reading on the gauge started getting below 1/4, after 2 more short trips it was on reserve. Decided to check...

On my boat there is only side access on the port side, better if there was on S board as well. Wish I had electrical and water connection at the bow as well. Hope to have done in future.

Could be or looks similar to a Vetus shaft coupler. To my knowledge these couplers are installed as a vibration absorbers and as the weak link in the transmition in order to save the gearbox, I don`t believe they allow any slipage
