    Do the relays have the socket with the seal? If so, they can be submerged as the installation is then IP67 compliant Most likely the contacts are arc flashed over (the reason the suppression diode is used)

    Will Old Timers Formula work well on T-111 siding?

    It will work for a few years. But I would seriously look at paint Spar varnish is UV resistant, its one thing on a transom that sees sunlight ever so often vs a shed. I would suggest a UV stable exterior stain if you don't want paint. Remember to recoat every few years

    Entire electrical system dies when under way

    @peters715 thanks for closing this out 1-wire alternators are not recommended in a boat. the sense wire is always hot unless you always turn off the battery switch.

    1976 Mercruiser 351W Oil Pan

    An auto pan will fit the block, but you lose a bit of oil capacity. Then you need to get the appropriate pickup and if the pant isn't the same height as the marine pan, the dipstick calibration will be off
