Haven't had much luck in searching, but looking to see if any other 265 owners have replaced their holding tank/toilet hoses? Been getting a pretty bad smell coming from the head. I haven't done any treatment to it yet, thats on the list this weekend. I imagine they are probably original and...

Not sure how your set up is, but here is a picture of my kicker control box.

Oh, i had no intentions of cutting it down. Ive got it bundled up pretty clean right now.

I'm guessing the woven harness is the engine harness, as my new Zukes that were put on have an excess of harness like that as well. Kinda wondered what to do with all that extra wiring without cutting the wiring down and adding new connectors. Agree it isn't the cleanest installation.

Ahh, I think I read your story on THT. Good they got it handled

I did have it up, didn't notice any wiring corrosion. But the pump looked like it was probably the original or close to it. What pump did you replace it with?

So when I had the boat out doing the break-in, was getting familiar with stuff on the boat, since this was one of the first real runs I've had in it. When operating the washdown, it would come on and spray water for 30 sec to 1 min, then stop working. Turned off the switch, came back to it a...

These are the most common anchors in my area, but considering probably 90% of the boats are aluminum on the river, it isnt a surprise. For what I've read the plow style anchors work well on the Columbia river as well.

So i have a GC0762 gypsy, which for what I've found takes the 1/2" rode and 1/4" chain. Where are the best deals to be found for rode and chain? Looking for 25ft of chain and 300 ft of rode. Thanks

I was trying to think of a Forrest Gump reference.

Same as you

That's the location of mine as well.

I wasn't on plane for a good portion of that, it was putting around keeping it at the recommended less than 3k for the first 2 hours. Also some longer stretches of no wake zones in the area we were at. Wasn't till the last 10 miles or so that I got it up on plane. On plane it was registering...

Got the 265 out yesterday for the break-in of the new Zukes. Ran it for about 4 hours, ran perfect. Total of about 40 miles total, and burned 24g of fuel. I also tried my hand at sewing and recovered the coaming pads and seats, with new foam as well. Only ones I haven't done yet is the...

Mine has a switch on the panel for "main" and "aux" fuel tank. But now isn't used since the repower.

Thanks, I've seen that. What I'm trying to identify is what gypsy I have. I reached out to Lewmar, they said there should be code stamped in between the teeth (pockets where the chains link would go). I'll look it this weekend.

So the windlass on mine is a Simpson Lawrence Horizon 600. Appears to have been discontinued in 2006. I've read the manual on it, but not seeing where to find the gypsy # to get the proper size rode and chain. Any help finding it? Thanks

Thought i was right in the bottom of the hull is solid glass. When I saw it was a 282, I was thinking those tabs are just like the 265 and the hinge is screwed into the bottom of the hull.

A couple of the reasons I happened to look at this. When hooked up to the truck, the rear most tires seemed to have more weight on them. I was actually looking at getting a lower drop hitch. But then this last weekend, I was replacing the winch strap and when I unhooked the old one with the...

Sorry if sounds dumb, but isn't the bottom of the hulls on these solid fiberglass?
