I keep trim tabs tucked all the way in unless weight distribution requires it. The engine trim I start out all the way down them when on plane I stop once the gauges read two bars. I have twin ox 225's so it may change w/ different horsepower or engine types. Once you find the sweet spot you...

the issue was with the oil pump in the main oil tank on the starboard side...replaced the pump today and the remote tank filled right up just to where it was supposed to go. bonus, we just pinched off the line while making the switch from the old pump to the new one so we lost a very minimal...

worked with the Yamaha Master Tech on the boat after work today looks like the major issue is the pump in the main oil tank is not working to get the oil up to the remote tank. Since we have to do the work we are also going to switch out the filters on both oil tanks while we are at it. if the...

I have a 2000 265 express, I trim engines with only 2-3bars showing on engine trim then adjust for weight of people on board which often times isn't even an issue. The trim tabs on these boats are large so only press down for a second or two and see how boat evens out. Also remember to start out...

I figured that might be the reason the port engine didn't fill when I used the toggle switch. Either way I'm happy to pay a little money to know the engine will be safe. Will update when I have a final outcome. Cheers!

There was oil in the remote tank, it was approx. 1/3 full, right at the low arrow line. When I had batteries turned on with keys in ignotion to on position but not turned over the remote tank did not fill up to the top arrow line, the oil level did not change at all. I tried the toggle switch...

Thanks, Great advice I'll let u know how things work out.

The alarm is continuous, once it started going off I shut off the engine and rode in on port engine that was not alarming. I did not know about the separate oil tank on engine so I will have to pull off cowling to see if there is anything in there or not. After I put oil in the main tank I...

I did not know about the reserve in the engine itself I will have to try that. The oil I put into the boat was in the main oil tanks In-between the Folding engine shroud and the motors themselves.

If it helps I have twin 225 ox66 saltwater series II's on the 265 express

Was out tonight and low oil warning went on for starboard engine. I turned that engine off then idled in on port engine. As soon as we got to dock I filled both oil tanks to full but the low oil level alarm will not shut off....any ideas what I need to do? I'm praying I did not fry an engine but...

What specific yamalube is best for these engines? Any other options available that may be less expensive that will still do a decent job?

Re: Grady 265 with flush mount raymarine C90W and Edson Whee they decided to use fiberglass because they felt the weight of the unit warranted using a stronger material...since the work *free electronics and flush mount provided by previous owner* was negotiated into the price of the boat when...

Re: Grady 265 with flush mount raymarine C90W and Edson Whee actually the guys at the marina matched up the colors and used fiberglass to do the flushmount
