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...

I figured I would close the thread out with the most difficult part of all, fueling up the twin tanks. 250 gallons at California prices almost broke the bank! So I took her to our new costco to save $0.60/gallon! Now i'm back on the water just in time for crab season this weekend! Thank you...

I may mount mine under the top like SB did. I like the idea of getting it out of the splash zone.

Tanks are in! I did use 5200 on some strips on the bottom and sides. It was nice the tanks came coated too! Man, what a relief having this step done! Now some plumbing and other repairs.

I had not seen your thread on that. thank you for the link. Question on the Electrical box. It appear you are using in in the bow? Is that a relay for the Anchor winch?

No offense taken. That is exactly why I am asking the question on the one item. I have already pulled all the suspect cables and wires and am in the process of replacing them. Thanks for looking out for us!

Its a relay for my Crab pot puller. It takes a beating in this area and i have to change it every once in a while. I have tried coating it with liquid electrical tape but having it in a saltwater slip is brutal.

Excellent thank you!

Anyone know what this thing circled in yellow is? Its connected to the back side of the perko switch. Its from a 2002 GW 265 Express

That was my plan after reading your post on this. Hope it works!

The tanks are being made! Drawings were the exact same as what i pulled out so I'm glad to know they are originals. One more step done!

This is a wonderful idea! I hope you can make it work. Get Garmin to invest and start selling these setups!!

Thanks Hookup1, I read your post prior to pulling my tanks. Tons of help and confidence gained from your experiences. I will be adding the neoprene to the bottoms for sure!! The tops of the tank were very wet and had a mold/Jelly on the tops. Obviously poor maintenance on my part and thats what...

I have literally never used mine. I think im just going to leave it alone. But thanks for the heads up. The one of more concern to me is the waste tank on the other side. The screws to the straps holding it down have literally rotted away. Definitely need to get that secured otherwise it might...

Chop Chop..... So the front two are where I cut more corners. To access them I removed the drawers in the cabin wall. Once there you can see two circular access hatches in the floor in there. The problem is the one on the port side is UNDER the fresh water tank! So no access there with out...

So...........After developing a nice lil hole in the top of my front tank I finally got all the fuel out to start the process of removing the old tanks. Let me tell you, disposing of anything more than 5 gallons of bad fuel in California is impossible!! I had to get rid of 120 so i burned a...

Yes I had fuel in my bilge. I removed the hatch and this is what i found. Obviously water build up and alge/gooo. Once I cleaned it off there was a 1/4" hole on the top. Im sure the under side has the classic pinholes too. Ive since drained the tank.

Im a little further north but hope you can get a floatilla out there!!

Fowl Hook is correct. As long as the backup batteries are charged no big deal. But if they are not then MAJOR deal. The truck brake supply will try and apply power to the backup and brakes at the same time causing no power to the brakes. Again this is not all systems. Just beware is all im saying.
