Re: Hookup for Electric start on aluminum boat

I think have seen rubber transom protective pads that are fitted on the transom, then the motor goes over that. This would not do any good if the motor was bolted through the transom or if the rubber pad had worn. The pad would of course have to cover all three sides of the transom, inside, outside and top edge.
A battery isolator switch is always an important safety feature. How do we prevent corrosion if you want to leave the bilge pump powered while moored, a separate battery for the bilge pump?
