Matching the diameter of the hose to the pump outlet has been my rule of thumb. If the engineers who designed the pump decided on specific size, I figured they knew more than me. I did change out...

Easy to verify. Mark the hub and the prop. Go for a short ride with a few brisk ‘high acceleration’ starts. If the marks aren’t still aligned, the hub is slipping.

It’s not that you can’t design a system that could run heaters, it’s how practical that solution would be to install on a 28’ boat. Converting 12v DC to 120V AC...

As the OP mentioned, the factory didn’t provide for a true house bank. The engine batteries serve the house as well, so larger Ah batteries should have been installed.

Did you check the timing after replacing the cap, rotor, etc.?
If so, did you ground the purple lead when setting the base timing?

Which carb are you running? 2bbl Mercarb?
