In Texas you don't even have to do that, just go tell them it's homemade and viola your done. They don't look at it or anything.
Texas parks and wildlife has a website, you can type in the boat registration numbers and it will tell you who it was last registered to and their address. That...
Coat the new socket in dielectric grease and you'll be good to go. Clean and reapply occasionally and you should be fine. That will keep water and salt out of the connector
Are you sure the tach is off?
Also what pitch are you currently running?
We are trying to make sure you are propped correctly before putting bandaid fixes on it.
I wouldn't suggest anything until you know what your max speed and max rpm is when loaded normally.
Also with your 3rd person, where are they sitting?
While you might be able to slap a hydrofoil on and be good, you might still be under your max rpm and straining the engine.

I was under the impression you want to flush the engine and wash the boat down with fresh water daily.
I would have to see a picture of the shifter to say. First guess is a trailer button, or maybe a choke.
As for the wires in and out. Not sure. Maybe trim limit, trim position for gauge?
I would jump the solenoids first and go from their.
If its just the wires for the trim guage I wouldn't worry...
The trim will be on the shifter.
The switch on the dash. You said you have 3, so 1 will be bilge pump, the other the blower, and the on-off-on will be for your navigation/ anchor light.
It looks like your large power cable for the trim solenoids are hooked to the battery, so just like a...
