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

    Thanks Hookup1, I read your post prior to pulling my tanks. Tons of help and confidence gained from your experiences. I will be adding the neoprene to the bottoms for sure!! The tops of the tank were very wet and had a mold/Jelly on the tops. Obviously poor maintenance on my part and thats what...

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

    I have literally never used mine. I think im just going to leave it alone. But thanks for the heads up. The one of more concern to me is the waste tank on the other side. The screws to the straps holding it down have literally rotted away. Definitely need to get that secured otherwise it might...

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

    Chop Chop..... So the front two are where I cut more corners. To access them I removed the drawers in the cabin wall. Once there you can see two circular access hatches in the floor in there. The problem is the one on the port side is UNDER the fresh water tank! So no access there with out...

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

    So...........After developing a nice lil hole in the top of my front tank I finally got all the fuel out to start the process of removing the old tanks. Let me tell you, disposing of anything more than 5 gallons of bad fuel in California is impossible!! I had to get rid of 120 so i burned a...

    265 fuel tank replacement

    Yes I had fuel in my bilge. I removed the hatch and this is what i found. Obviously water build up and alge/gooo. Once I cleaned it off there was a 1/4" hole on the top. Im sure the under side has the classic pinholes too. Ive since drained the tank.

    265 Express Upgrades

    Fowl Hook is correct. As long as the backup batteries are charged no big deal. But if they are not then MAJOR deal. The truck brake supply will try and apply power to the backup and brakes at the same time causing no power to the brakes. Again this is not all systems. Just beware is all im saying.

    salt water washdown pump

    Hookup, am i seeing this correct? You have a livewell pump which discharges into the intake of your washdown system? That seems genious. More pressure in should make the pump run great? Is that the case? Also, what model washdown pump are you running?

    265 Express Upgrades

    E/H is definitely a game changer. However! Be very intentional on the system that you install. They are not all created equal. I will give you the main achilleas heal of some systems. The Battery Backup. MAKE ABSOLUTLY SURE THE FAILSAFE IS THAT THE BRAKES WORK!!!!!!! Sorry for the all caps. But...

    FB Pilot House

    Yeah I saw your rebuild. You basically built a brand new pilot house and it looks AMAZING! Im not thinking a complete rebuild. Maybe just a removal of the old Taylor Made windshield and rebuilding a front 2/3rd similar to the 330. It looks like they use the existing top structure to make it...

    Charger and Shore power

    I too have the adaptor for home use and it works fine. Ill look for some of the marine grade adhesive shrink wrap. Sounds like a great product. Thank you.

    Charger and Shore power

    On the 265 my charger is in the battery area on the port rear corner ( i.e. wet location) Seems like a splice might be more protective to water intrusion "IF" i can seal it. Hookup1, why do you say "do not cut the plug off"? Besides the warranty issue wouldn't that allow more weatherproof...

    Charger and Shore power

    Excellent! Thanks for the guidance. When I get to the boat it sounds like I need to have the equipment/tools to cut and splice the line that heads to the AC panel. I would guess that is how the old charger is wired. We will see.

    Charger and Shore power

    Hello all. I am about to replace my dual battery charger on the Express 265. I ordered a new pro mariner dual bank charger similar to the on in it. However it showed up and when unboxing I noticed there is a three prong plug on it. Since I cant get to the boat at the moment I thought i would...
