I am drawing a complete blank, but when I flush mounted my first set of electronics on my 265, I'm pretty sure that I just used the plastic doors as the template once i removed them. Traced them onto cardboard, fine tuned it and then replicated onto starboard. I can't swear I did this on the...

I had a mind bender of a problem with mu old 208 a few years back. Based on the quantity of the discrepancy you are stating i doubt it is the same problem. To eliminate the possibility of the tank having been swapped with a smaller one and to do this without unsealing and lifting the hatch...

You can't lose at $20 for the latches! If you do consider the repower, the 250 Zukes (all digital), installed, taxes paid come in anywhere from 8-10k cheaper than F250's digital. If you went mechanical on Yammis to avoid the additional cost of conversion to digital, you'll probably regret...

My firm belief is that the replacement latch will hold fine. In my case, I did not find that the spring was an issue, it was the ball end that clicks into the spring loaded ball and pin; you can feel the grooves created over time through wear of constant cick in and out. The spring itself...

Thanks John, sent you text. The choice of material used (brass = soft) for this application is not the best, but i actually think thr design is ok. The latches held relatively fine until this season, so 2005-2017 (let's say), not bad. What i noticed is that whn you feel around the ball end...

I realize this thread is a bit old, but I just went through replacing this part and was stoked when Grady gave me the part # and manufacturer. It is indeed McMaster-Carr and the part # is 1316A5. AND it was about $20 for both! Figured I would share as clearly some have had this headache and...

The Yamaha Saltwater Series II 15.25 x 19 are the preferred props for those engines and hull. I ran those props on my F225's and I'm pretty sure most of the guys on here did as well.

+1 for Axiom's on 265 :)

I am in a repower dilemma myself. I have the glorious F225's on my 265 and while all the exhaust upgrades were done on time and I dodged that bullet, this winter when winterizing the engines, I found that corrosion ate through the thermostat housing on the engine block of the stbd engine! The...

I was actually about to reply on your other post, but this new one seems like the better forum for what I wanted to contribute. I was in your same shoes when I was looking for my 265, the moisture topic was driving me insane and I was 1-step from buying a moisture meter, and so on; I thought i...

That price is very steep! I had a 1995 208 w/ 150 Johnson V6 (original to boat & unknown hours), no kicker. It had a new Guest 10amp charger and ACR relay recently installed and a Lewmar Profish 700 windlass (1 season old). I bought it 2 years ago in NYC for 10k. I repowered it with a 2003...

It's a 10 gallon Groco tank with integrated macerator pump. While the GW manuals are very detailed and provide you most all the info you need on parts (model #'s, etc.), surprisingly it does not list the size of the head holding tank. I recently spent 6 hours face to face with that tank...

All great advice and It's just great to see how great guys on this site are about helping one other out, unlike some other sites where you might get quite the opposite reaction! Everything you have been told is spot on and you just need to absorb the feedback and practice. I had the 208 till...

@Sea Shift - I have Yamaha F225's, late 2004 production, which are nmea 2k and compatible with the 6yc gauge. What you are looking for to determine compatibility is a square (unused) plug under the cowling with only a blue and white wire. If you have that, you're in business and all you have...

@Maxx366 - Looks great nice job and thank for posting the pics!

Thanks for the feedback. I already have plenty of experience with running the cables aft to helm :-). I installed the CPT-120 transducer in the spring, installed windlass (my boat came without), installed shore power (came without) and last week I installed the command link 6YC gauge for the...

@Max366 - I would love to see pics of your install. I picked up my 'new to me' 2005 265 in March and have been busy with upgrades since. I have dual C95's in the dash, which are very good units, but I have been looking hard at the 12" Axioms and 12" E128's. Based on the dimensions of the...

If it is in fact the bushing, here is what you need: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002 ... UTF8&psc=1 Just recently sold my 208, still have some of my old links and orders saved. -MJ

Thanks all for the feedback. So many different variations leading to the gas shortage. It looks like i am the only one amongst us the with manufacturer installation error, where the tank was truly sitting too low in the front. Here is my recap for the forum and anyone that may run into this...

Thanks for your feedback ric2352. Looks like you got your situation figured out. Is your tank pitched to the bow or was this just an issue caused by how the boat sits on the trailer? My boat is in the water from April - November, so we always fuel up on the water. In my case, yes, if we put...
