I shower in the bathroom - water is not warm but that is okay - when on the hook local kids sell 5 gallons of water for 2$ delivered to the boat - that way we can last 4 or 5 nights! :) Tim

Well..... are you a new owner? Tim

If it was me, I would hang a used OX66 of the back- I personaly have never had good luck with rebuilding any motors, ever- Tim

This was my thought exactly - Present the seller the survey findings, I bet it falls right into place - If I was the seller and you brought that list to me, it would a non-issue and repaired immediatly- Good luck Tim

The HPDI's are plenty of power. You are not going to break any speed records, but you can cruise right along at 28 to 32 mph - and hit 40 if needed- Not sure where you are in Mass - but I am Groton Ct - would certainly take you for a spin in about four weeks when the boat is in the water- or...

When evaluating a repower keep in mind you could purchase a lightly used same model- I have 500 hours on my HPDI's, and it ones fails I will probally purchased another used HPDI to replace it with- Then you are only looking a 4-6k per problem- 39k is a great deal for one of these - as...

I have a 2000 w/ HPDI's - Great boat - great power - Cruise at 1.5 mpg fully loaded w/ five guys- Cruise at 1.7 to 1.8 light on fuel (60 to 80 gallons) and with just one or two people on board- Usually cruise between 28 and 31 mph- Cabin is great - spent 5 nights on here multiple...

I concur with the above statement - I would not do it- Tim

I replaced the red e-stop with a lighted rocker switch -

Did you end up getting the one at Port of Egypt? My last trip out that way I saw a nice one on the lot! Tim

AND you would of been purchasing a first year edition that could be riddled with problems and make the boat worth less if it develops a really bad reputation- Think about the guy in 1999 with twin 250 Salt water series motors on his boat "Man if I had just waited one year I could of got the...

What do you gain by connect the VHF and FCV620 to the NEMA output on the GPS?

Great idea! Would love to see the pictures! Tim

Good advice on water pumps and pressuring testing lower unit- Yamaha sells a pressure tester all set up with a gauge- but I built my own using tubing, barb connections, small hand pump and a gauge. When the lower unit is drained, you connect it to the fill hole and pressurize the interior...

Not to derail - but the furono mention above is fantastic - I connected my autopilot to my back up Garmin 182 - I have the FCV620 and a northstar as my main electronics- works well for me! Tim

I only use the "Pilot Mode" that holds a course - maybe I will try way points this season- Big E-stop did not get installed on my boat, I used a more stylish switch that also light up when on - that way I would be sure to shut it off- It works fine with the twins - no problem what so ever -...

I installed this on my 265 last season - works great - easy install - no problems what so ever- Highly recommend it! You should be aware that it does require a NEMA signal from a GPS - Tim

The photo still looks likes they are fastened with screws to the transom - did you install these with no penetration below the water line? Tim

There are access doors in that area - I have never seen downriggers mounted on a 265. Tim

Would like to see some links to the lights that do not require drilling- Tim
