Exactly! How do you handle the halyard on the center rigger? After release, you pull the clip back down, put your line in and send it back up. This is process is my challenge because I’m not 6’ tall. I’d like to have the release clip be manageable from the cockpit at a reasonable height...

I’ll look into this but in my mind the halyard will be inside so it could interfere with grabbing the rod in the holder upon strike. Certainly manageable and better than the reach up high.

I’d rather not tie up a rod holder and the center rigger base is already there.

Does anyone with a 265x use a center rigger? I have bungee clips in two locations on the hardtop for the halyard but that makes it pretty high up to reach. Not impossible, but I’d like something lower. I’m thinking that I wrap around the rocket launcher but that could have the 400lb mono...

Love it! I have been trying to come up with a hinge for the actual bow rail. I don’t want to eliminate a section but have a way to move it like a gates.

Thanks! Just ordered from there. Amazing that they popped up on the first page. Ain’t AI great!

Looking for the four hinges for the electronics box’s on the 265. Searching old threads and it might be Southco c6/g6 but there are many choices. I think existing are just hinges versus stop points because there is a plastic strip to attach to roof to hold open. Although, a hinge that would...

No trim just glass. I sent him the one that I have and he matched it and sent both pieces back. Guys name was Tex. I honestly can’t believe that I still had this in my email. Clear Glass + hinge $600 , a set of locking handles $50, one dring $15. For the total of $665 + shipping. Thanks...

Those are some good looking F225’s!

I used them 3 years ago for the vent window on my 265. Pricey but did a great job!

my 2003 265 has 4 batteries. Not sure why but this is how I purchased it in 2022. I redid all of the electronics ( fuel tanks, and repower too). You have th right guys helping you on this thread because they helped me through it all too. If I can help or take pictures for you, please reach out.
