    265 battery shelf

    Seriously? What do you mean or can you point me to a thread as to why and what to replace it with? Now that these hoses were so rotten im doing the head and the fuel hoses. Then will be electrical inclusion new electronics.

    265 battery shelf

    Just finished the starboard side on this 60 degree February day. We never get that!!! Here is a pic of the shelf in case someone needs to replace their scupper hoses on a 265.

    265 battery shelf

    I failed to take a pic of the new shelf in place before putting the batteries back. This sucks because that’s the part that will help the next guy in the future. I’ll definitely snap the pic on the starboard side.

    265 battery shelf

    I was able to complete the port side yesterday. Removed the batteries, cut the existing shelf, replaced the two hoses from the deck drains to the scuppers, replaced the shelf with a new one made out of PVC board and replaced the batterie. Pretty straight forward. The only change that I would...

    265 battery shelf

    I’ll warn you that this is going to be a weird one. My scupper hoses are completely dry rotted On my 265. It appears that the only way to attach to the scupper end is to remove the batteries and the shelf. I am just now ordering parts, doing all of the sanitation hoses too, and trying to...

    Hatteras Inlet

    Here are my thoughts. That inlet is really challenging. It could be miles if you follow the markers. I think that the charter captains make their own markers out of milk jugs, bleach bottles, etc and move them as needed. It's tuff in the dark. I trailered my old boat, 31Fountain, to...

    WTB Bennett trim tab switch

    I apologize if I was unclear. I don't know the technical terms. The port side of the switch has some resistance to it when you push the tab up or down. The starboard side of the switch has zero resistance. You could move it with a piece of paper. I ordered the switch on ebay and it should...

    WTB Bennett trim tab switch

    Thank you so much! For some reason this did not come up for me in my search. I just purchased it. The mechanical portion of the switch is broken. Meanin, you can push it up or down but it does not stay. I just purchased the boat but am just getting around to settling priorities. Thanks again!

    WTB Bennett trim tab switch

    My new to me 2003 265 has a broken trim tab rocker switch. It appears that the part number is LS3000. Does anyone have one laying around that I could buy? If not, does anyone know the replacement part? I am redoing the helm area so I dont need to match the footprint. The switch is broken...

    19 year old fuel lines

    This is great! the survey on my 2003 265 showed cracking in the sanitation hoses so that’s where I’m going to focus first. I’m pulling the hatches over the fuel tanks because of moisture and will take a look at the hoses but if no cracks, I’m going to push that project out to next winter based...

    265 hatch removal cover

    Thank you all for the suggestions! I just picked up the boat a couple of weeks ago so i have not shrink wrapped it or covered it yet. My last boat i had a custom cover made and it was wonderful. I'll probably do the same in the future. I highly doubt that the fuel lines have been replaced...

    265 hatch removal cover

    Hi, i am going to remove the hatch that covers the aft bilge and the larger hatch that covers the fuel tanks to have repaired. They are holding a ton of moisture. My question is what could I cover the openings with while being repaired? I was thinking of a piece of plywood and a blue tarp. I...
