    How far out in the ocean would you travel from land?

    I fish/cruise in SoCal. Probably from mainland about 60 miles max. But, if I include distance from an island, about 30 - 40 miles.

    Engine speed Question

    I find this question to be interesting because I've heard the same thing about ideal rpm range for engine efficiency. It seems to me that if you make the same comparison to a car engine - the car engine runs on the freeway at about 2500 rpm. But on acceleration or downshifting going up a hill...

    Odd Fuel Gauge Issue

    I may not be understanding your problem, but how much fuel is in the tank? When the fuel level gets real low, it is normal for the last bar showing to begin to blink.

    Is there a way to adjust the windlass speed?

    What type of line are you using? I have tried many and settled on mega-plait line (versus 8-plait that didn't work for me). Regarding hanging up at the connection - it happens. But make sure it's not frayed and was done professionally to minimize the girth of the connection.

    I've had a 22 lb. Delta on my 2003 Express on the West Coast. I have 50 ft of chain and 300 ft of line. Never had an issue, but you may have more extreme conditions. Can't answer the question on stress to your other components.

    Metal Transom bracket corroding what to do????

    Replace with a well-sealed vinyl cap - it's due. Also, suggest taking a look at the 4 brass transom well tubes. If never addressed, they probably also need replacing. I used fiberglass tubing instead of the brass - I will never have to worry about brass corrosion.

    265 express leaking faucet in galley

    I would think it's a loose/stripped hose clamp (most likely) or hose deterioration/cut. Can you loosen the clamp enough to pull of the hoses off at sink fixture connection and inspect/replace?

    Head System questions?

    Another thing that you may want to take a look at. There's a clamshell fitting on the starboard side of the hull that is the exit point for the head vent. There is a screen on that fitting that can clog up and prevent proper venting. I just poked out the screen and that cleared things up.

    I guess I was lucky - mine lasted over 20 years (anyone want my CD collection :cool:). I upgraded so my grandkids could connect their phones - now they're happy!!

    Head System questions?

    Agree with all the comments, especially having a lot of guidance on YouTube. Assuming you haven't done any maintenance since 2009, step up and replace toilet bowl seals and duck bill valves at a minimum - it's time! Also, suggest using factory Dometic parts - there are lesser cost substitutes...

    Kenwood Controller

    I upgraded to a Fusion. I have a controller that works. Not sure anyone would want it, but thought I'd ask before I toss it. Private message me & I'll ship to you USPS - you can Zelle me money for shipping cost (controller free).
