    Kodiak trailer brake questions

    I have a 4 Kodiak 250SS calipers (actually the whole set including slip on rotors for 8 lug wheels) and my current trailer has a 6 bolt pattern with 225 calipers. My question is can the old 225 calipers be replaced with the 250's? The rotors might be an inch difference in size. I'm pretty sure...

    265 Express performance

    no, I likely wont hit full throttle again. I do just like to understand what the capabilities are. I am interested in cruising at 30 plus so I’m happy with the 265. I’m coming from a 31 Fountain which was a rocket with rod holders. if I ever decided to repower I’d probably look to go to...

    265 Express performance

    So i have been trying to find what the performance of the 265 should be and haven't had much luck, so i thought that i would get something started. I just had my fuel tanks replaced in my 2003 with 2005 F225's (975hrs). I had the engines completely serviced (new fluids, plugs, thermostats...

    Fuel tank replacement costs

    I just paid about $10k for two new tanks, all hoses and fuel lines, including labor on my 265. Probably could have gotten it cheaper but I wanted it done so I can use the boat this summer. Should have it back this week. This is in Maryland

    265X fuel tank replacement

    Well the tanks are in. Not much in the way of pictures but here’s a few. The sea trial/leak test found that the motors would only get to about 4500rpm’s. No leaks though! every filter has been changed on the motors so the injectors were pulled and sent out for cleaning. Hope to have them...

    vent window repair

    The T handle is part #30-179 and the D handle is # 30-329. I think that I have an old T handle part around here somewhere that I could probably sell you if interested.

    265X fuel tank replacement

    I don’t know. Composite yacht is doing it for me. I suspect that they will do what ever they do on their new builds.

    265 scupper hoses

    I can’t upload a photo because it says it’s too large. Anyway, mine looked much worse than this and the boat was lift kept. These hoses are absolutely critical to change out in advance of needing to change them out. You change your oil before the motor blows up? I’m not saying annually but...

    265X fuel tank replacement

    Yeah, I think that I’m going to have someone else do this. Definitely doing both tanks. One quote came back at ~10k. I was not expecting this! $22 per gallon on the tanks plus labor. Hopefull, some of the others are less.

    265 Fuel sender

    It is definitely not from anything easily accessible. Yes, I had fuel in the forward and aft bilge. Now just the aft bilge prob has a couple of inches but no longer rising. I removed the float switch so that the pump wouldn’t activate and throw it overboar, but I’m sure it was goin over...

    265 Fuel sender

    I’ve got big problem. Out running the boat today to burn off fuel and heavy gas odor coming from every where. I have fuel in the bilge. It was not in there prior to me putting 50 gallons in (30 in main and 20 in aux)earlier this week. I removed the rear drawers in the cockpit and no fuel...

    Cabin holding tank odor

    I just replaced all of my sanitation hoses and the odor went away. My hoses were 20 years old and I guess that they eventually lose the battle of keeping the stench in. This is the only solution that I tried.

    265 Fuel sender

    Yes, I understand. I’m going to go run it at “high” speed for a while to burn fuel OR empty into the aux tank. How much fuel can be in there to replace the sender? The part will be here Thursday but Im in no hurry.
