After enough wasted time and money on the 1991 Johnson, we broke down and re-powered. Tohatsu 6hp sail pro (extra long shaft!)
The partition separates the drink side from the food side is so we can grab cool drinks through the top hatch without losing all the cold air from the food side
I made a partition in the cooler using a 1/2" thick cutting board and rubber weather stripping from the hardware store. And we freeze 3 gallon jugs of water to line the bottom of the cooler. These kept beers and food cold throughout a 4 day trip on their first use. And the best thing is - no pool of water at the bottom!
you can see the close-up here how I drilled the bolt holes for the chocks oversized, then epoxied, then drilled them the correct size for the hardware. this is much stronger way to mount load-bearing hardware and there's no place for water to seep into the fiberglass. I then used bed-it tape around the holes, and a little around the head of each bolt

i ground them slightly oversized, and after this picture, drilled the holes oversized too. next step is an epoxy bedding
