Make sure the wires are all connected and did not come lose. This happened to me last week and I thought it was the pump but after I check all the wires I found that they were not connected even tho they were taped together. After I pulled the tape off of them they were connected but not...

Is is too funny, I have been having the same problem with the same engine on the port side and it was driving me nuts, I was just on my boat today and the same thing, I was just about to call the guy who works on my engines. This must be the problem I am having, its not a lot of oil and mine...

I thought that it was better to have engines that were used every year then just sitting? I don't really think 600 hours is that many.

awesome man just awesome trailer. Give us your inventing idea? :lol:

then start to use PRI-G As it works well with E10. Go to their web site and read up on the stuff. I use it and Ring Free.

get it with the factory T-TOP. They are 1st class and make the boat look much better. You will like it a lot more then the Bimi Top. Also Resale will be much much better as most people want a T-TOP.

Sounds good! I would like to see the what you end up buying. Sounds like either way you are good to go. Let us know how the boat rides after you get the engine. I would go for the F250 if its only a few pounds more. I wish you the best.

Re: 265 fuel economy 225s Yes. If you have a 00- or 01 it could put the scuppers underwater with 4 stroke power. My scuppers set right on the line with the HPDI's and its a...

I always flush my engines for 10 min in the down position then raise it and flush in the up out of water position for 5 min. Thats what I do and it seems to work well.

the only bad thing I have heard about suzks are the parts. Other then that I have heard good things about them. That being said its hard to beat a Yamaha, for parts, and running. Also Resale value. Again, I am not saying that your scuppers will be under water, I don't think you will be able...

well said, When I was looking the 265's with 4 stroke were all 10k to 30k more and I only found one that was 10k more all the rest were a 20k to 30k more then the HPDI'S. There were not many for sale as well. The 4 strokes will give you better resale as a lot of people want 4 strokes. I have...

the more I run my 265 and learn it the more I love my 265. Its one awesome boat for the money. Its not to big and its not to small, its got that wide beam and its a heavy solid feel to her. Its got the big bow that is really nice in a chop or head sea. I like the boat more and more. Its a...

One thing I hate is being on a hot bite of fish in the cockpit with 2 or 3 other guys and cold water coming thru the scuppers while the boat is bobbing up and down on a drift of tuna. I like a dry deck while fishing or cruising. If you put the 4 stroke on you have a chance of this happening...

heres what I got today, 3800RPM/28MPH/26.2KNOTS/16.4 TO 16.7 GPH on 200hp yamaha HPDI'S.

here are some numbers from today, 3800 RPM/ 28MPH/ 26.2KNOTS/ 16.4 TO 16.7 GPH. I was happy with those numbers. :lol:

awesome numbers. The HPDI'S Yam 200 are really good on fuel. Way to go on the fish too. Kids must have been happy. :D

Maybe its senseless to someone whos already done it? Anyway in a suit Lawyers would have a field day with you in court. Thats the type of stuff they love to find. Trust me :lol: :wink: I know.

Well I am trying to tell you that I in fact have done it!!and had a 1990 24 ft GW with a 2004 Yamaha 225 hp 4 stroke. I also have a big SUV TOYOTA that tows great and gets big boats in and out of the water on bad ramps just fine. Anyway If I were you I would NOT put a heavy 4 stroke on your...

Put a full load on your boat and get hit with a good wave that puts a ton of sea water on your deck and see if Grady will back you up with your 280 hp plate. :wink:

Sounds about right. My 265 seems to run very well at anywhere from 3400 to 4300 RPM. I like to run her at about 3600 RPM. Shes fast and likes to run, also I like the big beefy bow. Very Dry ride. The boat seems bigger then she really is.
