E/H is definitely a game changer. However! Be very intentional on the system that you install. They are not all created equal. I will give you the main achilleas heal of some systems. The Battery Backup. MAKE ABSOLUTLY SURE THE FAILSAFE IS THAT THE BRAKES WORK!!!!!!! Sorry for the all caps. But...

Yeah I saw your rebuild. You basically built a brand new pilot house and it looks AMAZING! Im not thinking a complete rebuild. Maybe just a removal of the old Taylor Made windshield and rebuilding a front 2/3rd similar to the 330. It looks like they use the existing top structure to make it...

What do you think about a retro-fit to a 265 express !!!!!!??????

I too have the adaptor for home use and it works fine. Ill look for some of the marine grade adhesive shrink wrap. Sounds like a great product. Thank you.

On the 265 my charger is in the battery area on the port rear corner ( i.e. wet location) Seems like a splice might be more protective to water intrusion "IF" i can seal it. Hookup1, why do you say "do not cut the plug off"? Besides the warranty issue wouldn't that allow more weatherproof...

Excellent! Thanks for the guidance. When I get to the boat it sounds like I need to have the equipment/tools to cut and splice the line that heads to the AC panel. I would guess that is how the old charger is wired. We will see.

Hello all. I am about to replace my dual battery charger on the Express 265. I ordered a new pro mariner dual bank charger similar to the on in it. However it showed up and when unboxing I noticed there is a three prong plug on it. Since I cant get to the boat at the moment I thought i would...

Yeah I had the same issue and i also just had a fiberglass guy layer mine up by using the original for a form.

The "in-line" device between the bulbs and the fuel water separators are the fuel flow sensor, not an anti siphon.

Im not sure on the Ethanol content. Since were in CA im guessing yes. Unfortunately I have 120 gallons so disposal is the big issue. Thats alot of lawn mowing. I wish I knew someone with an old gas truck. They could burn it. At this point Im trying to "clean" the system of the old fuel which i...

I agree and I would love to drain the tank. However the little research i have done shows disposal of gasoline at $10-$15 PER GALLON! I'm gonna try and flush the port side and see if I can work that little bit through.

So I am starting the process of replacing my fuel tanks in my 265 Express. I have had multiple setbacks. A leaking front tank to start. I pumped the contents of that tank into the rear tank. During which I siphoned off about 2 gallons of water/fuel from the bottom and sent it to recycle. No...

Got mine today! Thanks for finding thes SB!!! And they do work as the originals did!

An easy way to check this is pull the fuel line off at the valve and see if you can blow air back into the line. My 2002 does not have them, but the 2005's might.

Yeah thats what I thought too, until i installed it and every time it pointed to the "Left/Aux s" it didnt flow fuel.

Let us know when you get them if they are the same as you OEM ones. Lets hope so!

I built a table out of starboard that mounts along the gunnel to scotty bases. Then I ran a starboard section 12 inches down the outside of the gunnel to protect it. Works great and is a solid platform for placing traps. With the benefit of not having to bend over to the deck to empty crab out...

Great read. I'm going to be trying this! Thanks

What was your work around?

Rubiks cub is a great analogy! I checked the link that Southern Style had and they are out of stock. Im thinking they no longer make them. For now I might just use the new ones dismounted. They do work just not set up like the originals and the pointer direction is confusing.
