I used a deck plate from West Marine, allowing all input/outputs to go thru one hole. It’s an 8″ plate, but there is no way I spent +$20 for this. It must have been on sale or something, because it’s not like me at all to do full retail. There are cheaper solutions, and arguably better for ant prevention for example, like Don’s and others.

A book can be written about the testing done in an oil analysis.

Somewhere I scanned an image of the results, but until I find it and elaborate on the testing that is done, you will be pleased to know that I got perfect results! Man, was that a relief. To know that one’s engine is good and will last the rest of their lives is an incredible feeling. I was pretty confident that the results would be fairly good, but to get a perfect score was pure elation!

Until I get LED fixtures to replace and modernize all these, cleaning and putting shiney metal tape behind the lamps makes a huge difference!

Not to mention cleaning out 20 years of road crud and re-gasketing.

Yep, it’s a PITA, but no excuse for not doing it. Tooo many times I’ve said I’ll deal with something like that later only to kick myself! You know what I mean, don’cha?

Oh - almost forgot to mention. The clear heat-shrink tubing goes on before you put it all together. And especially, especially, it goes on the wire before soldering and crimping on terminals!!! (on the other ends, where they connect to the outlets)

Don’t ask me how I know this.

Yes, this is larger than it needs to be - when complete it won’t have more than half the circuits in use but I got real tired of looking for just the right box.

Eventually, I’ll split it out with two breaker boxes - a master and a sub-panel for inverter-powered items only.
