    265 Express with Kicker Motor

    Looks like a nice install. What was the need to add the kicker? Were you not able to idle/troll slow enough?

    fuel tanks 265 express

    Yeah the 265 it totaly different. My bulk head was not glassed in just two bolted in 2x4s and no cutting involved. The fills are not as accessible however, they are below and behind the cabin sink. at least an arms length away. Real P.I.A.

    I did mine last season. It is actually fairly easy. The hardest part is replaceing the fuel fill and vent. See below...... 265 Tank replacement

    Express 265 Epirb location.

    I too keep mine in a ditch bag. Figure "In the even" its much easier to direct someone to GRAB THE YELLOW BAG!!!! Than have one person dedicated to try and pull it from somewhere. The bags float as well.

    express 265 autopilot install

    Let us know how the commissioning goes. I have simard as well but have heard they can be finicky to hold a line. I agree with the suggested compass location. It should be low near center line unless you get the HS 75 which can be mounted anywhere.

    blacl oak low profile light bar on a 257

    I second Glacierbaze's comment. I mounted one on my 265 no problem. Thru bolt and seal the holes and do not let it shine on the bow. Otherwise it is as straight forward as you think. Black Oak LED are awsome!

    265 Express overhead Rod holder

    Thats exactly the one I had but being 5' 8" I too had to stand on the seat or step and in rough west coast seas there were many times I almost went overboard.

    265 Express Dash suggestions

    I know what you mean. Mine had a small crack in the bottom, so I found a local fiberglass shop that built them up from the inside. So now the original is still the outside layer and the inside is thick 1/4" fiberglass. Should last now! They are five times heavier but at least they are now...

    This gives me a good idea, I have Hydro-dipped my GPS covers. I bet they can dip the whole thing! and the covers have stood up well to sun and weather. Heck, they dip whole fenders on cars! Now to just think of a color or pattern.......Carbon fiber!

    265 Express Dash suggestions

    Interesting idea! I might toy with that. I think there are multiple other parts on the 265 that are the same plastic. Im specifically thinking of the rear corner bins. those are removable and I could paint the bottoms as a sample. would never see it if it didnt work!!!

    265 Express Dash suggestions

    Yeah I noticed that as well. Mine really looks like trash, and since my Eisenglass (sp?) is removed seems like removal of the windshield would be doable. We will see if i get any further on this. one of many things I "want" to do vs. "need" to do! Haha

    265 Express Dash suggestions

    Question, anyone painted their dash cowling on a 265 express to address the discoloration? Mine is not only yellowed like this one but the clear lamination is blistering. Would it be best to just sand it down and paint with some sort of plastic rated paint?
