    265 Express overhead Rod holder

    For sure! I guess my best bet is to just build a mockup and see where it fits. Right now I have to crawl up the side of the boat and try and reach over to put rods up there and in our west coast swell I have almost fallen trying to hang on from up there!!

    265 Express overhead Rod holder

    Anyone with a 265 or similar ever installed an aftermarket Rod Rack like this? The origional on mine is mounted on the roof and they site at least 8 inches higher. I am a shorter guy and thought this might be a suitable replacement? What are your thoughts. It could be that this may be too short...

    When is it time to change fuel tanks?

    I ordered through Welding World and four weeks manufacture is accurate with delivery. They were great to work with and have many specs on their website. If you get the tanks first then no down time. A two week removal and install was totally doable for my 265 Express. It depends on your model...

    265 express electronics installation

    Yes my "Stereo" has power when the PERKO switch is off. I quoted stereo because a long time ago I swapped my typical stereo for a bluetooth reciever that powers my speakers. I didnt think about it at the time but when I get on the boat i hear an audible BLOOP-Beep which is my phone connecting to...

    265 express electronics installation

    Seasick, you mention something that peaks my interest. "Stereo memory feed" I have noticed that my stereo does stay hot when all perkos are off. Do you know where that ties in to the batteries? I want to run that to the main Acc feed to eliminate one additional draw. Thanks.

    looking to buy a trolling motor to use as an anchor/ spotlock

    My current way of dropping for Rockfish is to do exactly that, stern to the waves. But I have to run back and forth to turn the helm to keep us mostly going the same direction. I was just thinking of taking one additional input ( Steering) out of the situation. For us, we have quite a bit of...

    looking to buy a trolling motor to use as an anchor/ spotlock

    Im thinking about upgrading my autopilot and using a furuno In "Sabiki mode" it sounds much better for holding position since there is no additional motor and it uses your existing stuff. We will see.

    Leaking fuel tanks 306 Bimini

    I love the tanks. I have only had them in for a few weeks as of now so time will tell but my guess is years of great use so no complaints so far. I can it seems like the fuel senders are a little off but in the conservative way. I calibrated them at empty. Filled 10 gallons and they still read...

    DIY autopilot recommendations?

    Thanks for the link. Yeah the AP worked but now has a "Seatalk" Error and will not function. I figure with it being 15 + years old i might be better off replacing it. There is also some sort of electrical rod mounted to the seastar tilt that is very corroded. Must be part of that old system. My...

    DIY autopilot recommendations?

    I can understand wanting the dedicated device, Im just trying to save a little cash if I can. What is the hydraulic sterring helm? Is that the Seastar Steering cylinder on the motor? From what I'm seeing online there is either a Rudder feedback device mounted to that or it is "Virtual"?

    DIY autopilot recommendations?

    VOCZ, did you needed the AC12 AND your EVO3? I thought you could go directly to the EVO3 Unit? Also, did you use Virtual runder feddback (VRF) or are you using some type of feedback device? Thanks for the info.

    DIY autopilot recommendations?

    I'm replacing a Raymarine autopilot on my 265 Express twin yamaha 250s. The old MFD crapped out and the system is acting up. My question is what systems have you installed on your boats that you would recommend? I have a new Simrad NSS EVO3 and was thinking about getting their system buy a short...
