Motors are mounted as low as they can go, wasn't using any trim tabs, and motors weren't up very much. But yes, I'm pretty sure thats what I was hearing.

Got it out for it's 2nd ocean trip on Saturday. Completely different boat now with the tabs fixed. Coming in on a following sea, and it drove straight! Wasn't fighting it with the listing and the random left and right it was doing. Even my buddies were saying it was so much better. The one...

There has been discussion on adding offshore wind farms in Oregon as well. I'm sure we'll deal with the same stuff as you. With as liberal/green as most of Oregon is, it surprises me that would even be considered. But I'm sure someone's pockets are getting lined to allow it.

Completely agree on the electric car problems. The banning of new gas-powered car sales in 2035 in CA, OR, and WA is mind boggling. There is no way the infrastructure will be there to support that. Plus don't even get me started with the impact on the environment the mining has to produce all...

Please enlighten me on this. Maybe I'm reading your statement wrong but doesn't sunshine reach us in just over 8 min? I'm all for changes in ways to improve our footprint on the planet. There is big debate here on the west coast regarding dams and their effect on everything from water temp...

Looking to see what crab pot pullers people are using and maybe pics on how you have it set up. I looked at the scotty puller that goes on the downrigger mount, but seems like the reach isn't very much. I like the Ace Line Brutus puller, it can also go on the scotty downrigger mount. Thanks

I don't know the spec, but for what I understand since they are essentially below the water line, they need to be "collapse" resistant. As Skunk mentioned, use the white vinyl helix series 148. I picked it up at West Marine. It has a plastic "coil" in the hose versus the metal coil that was...

Probably common sense, but figured I'd post this as a reminder. If you are inspecting your drain hoses, don't trust just looking at the tops of them like I did. Get a mirror or remote camera and look at the undersides. A month or so ago, I was going to replace mine, but after I cut out the...

Did you ever get the lower unit off?

Havent done business with this company, but I remember seeing them pop up for fuel tanks when I was researching these boat. https://weldingworldinc.com/products/grady-white-265-express-2001-oem-replacement-fuel-tank-combo-kit-119-128-gal

Is the 10k parts and labor, or just for the tanks

Thanks! I also assume there is another ground daisy chained off one of the batteries that goes to the helm for ground?

Perfect, thanks. I plan on adding a couple of bus bars to rid some of the connections on the batteries to clean it up a bit. Can you tell me where they "tie" together at, or are they direct connection to each battery? I've seen where the negative cables drop down below the batteries, but...

Silly question, as I haven't really dug into the battery wiring, but getting ready to. Do all 3 batteries have a shared grounding point?

I'm replacing the deck drain hoses on my 265, also going to be adding a high water alarm. I'm thinking of adding a backup aft bilge pump, but wondering where a good place to mount it? I was maybe thinking of the platform where the oil tanks used to be, but wondering if that would be to high? Or...

2 year old thread, but I'll play. Dont think we need to worry about being more light weight, aerodynamic, and fuel efficient for a boat bumper, unless maybe they are dangling off the side while running. +2 on being called a "fender"

Where's the final product pics?

That right there is the reason I sold my aluminum North River last year and bought the 265. After 7 years of running for albacore in the North River, last year we got the crap beat out of us on a run out. Wasn't that it was unsafe conditions, just sloppy. I said enough is enough.

Hmm, I'll have to look again, but I'm 99% certain the base of poles were different between one another. Unless there is an insert to the base that stuck to one?

I haven't used mine yet on the 265, as I have to rerig them. But when I was looking at them, the base of the poles are different on each side. Like they are side specific.
