    Should I replace my surge brakes with electric on my boat trailer?

    If you tow with multiple vehicles like I do then surge brakes might be an advantage as no controller's are needed. Also, some jurisdictions require a break away system. With electric brakes that means a battery on the trailer.

    Replacing my brake lines with rubber lines

    Self tapping screws will work but you will probably have to drill a pilot hole first. I usually tap the frame for 10-32 machine screws.

    bad interuptor switch

    If you removed the leads attached to the switch that would eliminate the switch as the problem. Easy enough to check with a continuity tester to see if the switch works or not.

    Altrenator bolts

    You sure can. As long as they are the right size, grade and material. If you have a place that specializes in fasteners their quality and selection might be better.

    Trim tab location

    What Scott said. Would also help to move the boat back on the trailer so the bunks don't interfere with them. If the balance is off then you could move the axle(s) back as well.

    New Garmin 93 sv wire directly to battery?

    Your idea of pulling a wire with the transducer cable is good. Even if you don't use it now you might in the future?

    Trim Manual

    Those are manuals for the motors not the drives. To answer your question you'll have to let people know what drive serial number you have. Or at least the model.

    bilge problem

    From a Rule manual. "The pump checks for water every 2 ½ minutes by running for a second and measuring load against the impeller. If water is present, the pump remains on until the water is removed. Thereafter it resumes its 2 ½ minute check cycle."

    Trim Pump Fluid

    If these were hydraulic pumps used all day long in machinery then the type of oil would matter more. These pumps get used maybe a minute a day. I bet you could use olive oil and it would work fine. My pump is marked 10W30, but like Bondo I use ATF. I use ATF for identification purposes in case...

    Oil Change Vacuum Merc Adapters

    It should be a standard female garden hose fitting. Or, you could use a small hose to go inside the tube to the bottom of the pan. Or, you could use a hose that attaches to the outside of the dipstick tube.
