    265 express electronics installation

    Seasick, you mention something that peaks my interest. "Stereo memory feed" I have noticed that my stereo does stay hot when all perkos are off. Do you know where that ties in to the batteries? I want to run that to the main Acc feed to eliminate one additional draw. Thanks.

    looking to buy a trolling motor to use as an anchor/ spotlock

    My current way of dropping for Rockfish is to do exactly that, stern to the waves. But I have to run back and forth to turn the helm to keep us mostly going the same direction. I was just thinking of taking one additional input ( Steering) out of the situation. For us, we have quite a bit of...

    looking to buy a trolling motor to use as an anchor/ spotlock

    Im thinking about upgrading my autopilot and using a furuno In "Sabiki mode" it sounds much better for holding position since there is no additional motor and it uses your existing stuff. We will see.

    Leaking fuel tanks 306 Bimini

    I love the tanks. I have only had them in for a few weeks as of now so time will tell but my guess is years of great use so no complaints so far. I can it seems like the fuel senders are a little off but in the conservative way. I calibrated them at empty. Filled 10 gallons and they still read...

    DIY autopilot recommendations?

    Thanks for the link. Yeah the AP worked but now has a "Seatalk" Error and will not function. I figure with it being 15 + years old i might be better off replacing it. There is also some sort of electrical rod mounted to the seastar tilt that is very corroded. Must be part of that old system. My...

    DIY autopilot recommendations?

    I can understand wanting the dedicated device, Im just trying to save a little cash if I can. What is the hydraulic sterring helm? Is that the Seastar Steering cylinder on the motor? From what I'm seeing online there is either a Rudder feedback device mounted to that or it is "Virtual"?

    DIY autopilot recommendations?

    VOCZ, did you needed the AC12 AND your EVO3? I thought you could go directly to the EVO3 Unit? Also, did you use Virtual runder feddback (VRF) or are you using some type of feedback device? Thanks for the info.

    DIY autopilot recommendations?

    I'm replacing a Raymarine autopilot on my 265 Express twin yamaha 250s. The old MFD crapped out and the system is acting up. My question is what systems have you installed on your boats that you would recommend? I have a new Simrad NSS EVO3 and was thinking about getting their system buy a short...

    Im replacing my 265 Express Fuel Tanks!!!!! Pic heavy

    I figured I would close the thread out with the most difficult part of all, fueling up the twin tanks. 250 gallons at California prices almost broke the bank! So I took her to our new costco to save $0.60/gallon! Now i'm back on the water just in time for crab season this weekend! Thank you...

    I may mount mine under the top like SB did. I like the idea of getting it out of the splash zone.

    Im replacing my 265 Express Fuel Tanks!!!!! Pic heavy

    Tanks are in! I did use 5200 on some strips on the bottom and sides. It was nice the tanks came coated too! Man, what a relief having this step done! Now some plumbing and other repairs.

    Whats this?

    I had not seen your thread on that. thank you for the link. Question on the Electrical box. It appear you are using in in the bow? Is that a relay for the Anchor winch?

    Whats this?

    No offense taken. That is exactly why I am asking the question on the one item. I have already pulled all the suspect cables and wires and am in the process of replacing them. Thanks for looking out for us!

    Whats this?

    Its a relay for my Crab pot puller. It takes a beating in this area and i have to change it every once in a while. I have tried coating it with liquid electrical tape but having it in a saltwater slip is brutal.
