Amazon.com : stainless slam latch Check the hole size, not the latch bezel diameter.

There's molded arrows on the hose nipples. The "In" arrow hose goes to pump (visible in Grim's pic, the 'lower' nipple), the "Out" arrow goes to exhaust pipe.

You can use a thin ziptie to clamp the bellows. Snip the ziptie's tail short and smooth the tip, to keep it from poking a hole in the bellows. RTV works well for sealing holes in bellows. Clean rubber well and let it the silicone cure for a few days, before use. The threaded stub "outlet"...

The PTO wire might be a few inches longer, since it's plug is a few inches further from the MPEM. That's the only "difference" I could see, between the wires.

Attachment won't open for me, but if you have an AGM, it's a lead-acid type, not lithium. Some chargers can do absorbed glass mat (AGM) lead acid, some can't. Charger documentation will tell. The most common lead acid style is "flooded", and any lead acid format charger will cover that style.

Get old one out with seal puller. Try not to nick any surfaces. Drive new seal in evenly with something that matches diameter--PVC pipe, big ole socket from pawnshop, etc. https://www.amazon.com/seal-puller/s?k=seal+puller

Get someone with long, skinny forearms--you'll need him/her!

Amen...goes along with "jumpstarting blows up MPEMs". Not if you observe polarity... OP, along with checking fuse amperages for circuits, check to see if there's any loose/dangling wires... chafed insulation...wires/connectors submerged in bilge water...

Ahhh so...and previous owner didn't have the speed sensor, mounted...

Try installing the speed sensor after the nozzle and reverse bucket. Should be able to slide it into ride plate slot, and screw it right down. That "composite looking" piece in first pic--between pump housing and reverse bucket-- doesn't look right...should be an aluminum casting (with...

FWIW, on my 96 Challenger, I use a plastic Walmart garden hose ball valve. Close it on hose, open it on water. Haven't had any overheat alarms with it.

...before it snaps on ya, from corrosion under that rat's nest!

Use it in a trigger sprayer to fog cylinders, thru spark plug holes. Seems to do the job!

The 15' hulls don't need big anchors, a danforth with 10-12" flukes will do fine. Use 5' or so of chain, control the anchor line as you lower it, so anchor hits bottom first and chain lays out properly. Stern anchoring can be dangerous-- a lot of capsized/sunk boats were due to stern anchoring.

Don't know about the hose blockage, but you can put a lamp with a 60 watt bulb (old fashioned type, not LED) down near the water box, to keep it from freezing up.
