On an older boat, a bigger issue is fatigue cracks,...

Why Dual Gas Tanks
I've had really bad luck with selector valves, i.e. three different ones
that died within 20 or so uses.
Seems like they're prone to leakage between the two inlet ports, so if one
tank is empty,...

Killing bass?
Depends on the body of water.
Some small to medium lakes often need to have certain sizes (usually small)
culled out to avoid stunting and achieve balance.
Some private lakes may have such...

The Color Red
when red is filtered out, you will have black or a shade of grey.
depending on ambient light, etc. the object would look light or dark, like
seeing it on a b&w TV.

Jon boat tracking
with a boat that small, you will have to sit further back.
To do that, you probably will need to get a troller with electric foot
controls instead of cables.

I don't think computer systems from back then are very relevant to "casual"
