Caution! Be very careful adding insulation to the bottom of your icebox
lid. I added insulation to the bottom of Touche's icebox lid and had to
switch beers! Bottled Coronas and Landsharks were too tall to stand up on
the grate and allow the lid to close. :(
Solution? I went to store
I installed an Isotherm 3701 ASU unit in Touche'. Works well. Probably
more complicated than yours will be. The install is documented here:

For a long time I considered installing an Isotherm SP system. SP systems

The most critical thing is to measure everything before you start.
Granted, the step has subsided so you need to account for that. Measure
against a known reference point.
Next, make sure you understand and make accommodation for drainage from the
fore section of the boat. This may be as

Excellent question. When I installed a windlass and 200 feet of chain on a
client's boat, I had the store load the barrel of chain into my Suburban
with a forklift. Fortunately for me the boat was bow in on a bulkhead. We
simply used the new windlass to fed it from the back of the Suburban into

I needed chain for one of my clients a few years ago. I asked the local
crab fishermen where they got chain. They pointed me to a local
Vietnamese-owned marine supply store where I bought chain at a decent
discount to the regular marine supply stores. Ask the local fishermen!

I've posted this before but here it is again. I installed an Algae-X fuel
conditioner (I think now known as AXI) as part of Touche's diesel repower
in 2003. I have used NO additives and have had NO fuel issues since.
Having said that, Touche' has always been a fairly active boat with around

Make sure you measure the overhead clearance. You may need to put an elbow on
the fill nozzle.
Some plastic tanks have angled fill nozzles.
All things to look at.
I heartily support switching to plastic tanks IF your existing tank is not
Monel. If you have a Monel tank, keep it.
+1 on everything Charlie said.
I installed a vacuum gauge on Touche' years ago. Great decision. Let's me
run the filter elements much longer than before.
I am pessimistic about fuel polishing. Unless the vendor has a super
dooper high pressure rig that can blast the corners and really suck
I tend to buy most of my line from apsltd.com. Cajun ropes is also worth a
