    Moisture meters & used boats

    If you are in Michigan, I'd say the hull is frozen. I'm not so sure the meter would read correctly.

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    Most led's are 6-12 volt. Learned that a few years back, it gets cut down in the board itself. I've taked some apart and hooked them up directly to 12 volts and they work just fine, without the circuit board.

    Lowrance VS Hummingbird

    If the ducers are wired correctly and mounted far enough apart it should not make any difference. I'd put the map where it's easier to see, but fish are important to.

    mercruiser trim pump

    # 8 wire will be fine. Use marine grade, tinned wire and connecters. #10 wire may be ok, I just haven't looked at the specs.

    Live well

    Nothing wrong with that system. Make sure the seacock is in good shape, bedded properly, with a ball valve. There are thousands of them in service all over the world. Plugging it off means it's still there and can fail as you will never look at it again.

    Pitting/corrosion on jon boat bottom

    I think I would use the primer; it will help the paint stick better. besides, the primer helps you see where the repairs are needed better. I always prime/ sand and repair defects while I'm there, after repairs I prime again.

    Makes we wonder if a battery leaked and got down there. Scrub it with baking soda just to make sure its neutralized.

    Swell, waves, and period

    I don't mind swells as long as they are farther apart, to close together and you get kicked hard! And the swells can contain wave also.
