    265 break-in voyage

    I wasn't on plane for a good portion of that, it was putting around keeping it at the recommended less than 3k for the first 2 hours. Also some longer stretches of no wake zones in the area we were at. Wasn't till the last 10 miles or so that I got it up on plane. On plane it was registering...

    265 break-in voyage

    Got the 265 out yesterday for the break-in of the new Zukes. Ran it for about 4 hours, ran perfect. Total of about 40 miles total, and burned 24g of fuel. I also tried my hand at sewing and recovered the coaming pads and seats, with new foam as well. Only ones I haven't done yet is the...

    265 anchor and rode

    Thanks, I've seen that. What I'm trying to identify is what gypsy I have. I reached out to Lewmar, they said there should be code stamped in between the teeth (pockets where the chains link would go). I'll look it this weekend.

    265 anchor and rode

    So the windlass on mine is a Simpson Lawrence Horizon 600. Appears to have been discontinued in 2006. I've read the manual on it, but not seeing where to find the gypsy # to get the proper size rode and chain. Any help finding it? Thanks

    UPDATE Advice dealing with Moisture at the Trim Tabs

    Thought i was right in the bottom of the hull is solid glass. When I saw it was a 282, I was thinking those tabs are just like the 265 and the hinge is screwed into the bottom of the hull.

    Position on trailer

    A couple of the reasons I happened to look at this. When hooked up to the truck, the rear most tires seemed to have more weight on them. I was actually looking at getting a lower drop hitch. But then this last weekend, I was replacing the winch strap and when I unhooked the old one with the...

    Sorry if sounds dumb, but isn't the bottom of the hulls on these solid fiberglass?

    Position on trailer

    The trim tabs are directly under the transom, so yes the bunks are quite a bit back from the edge of the transom. I think I'm going to adjust it about 6 inches or so forward.

    Power 225 up to 300 24 offshore

    I would go with as much HP as it's rated for. Never hear anyone complaining they wish they had less power. :D

    Position on trailer

    Was looking at the boat sitting on the trailer, to me it looks like it might be sitting back a bit to far. Where should the bunks be in relation to the trim tabs? Up to the leading edge, or right underneath them?

    Need Insurance Recommendation

    The one thing I would say to make sure of with whatever insurance company you use, see what you "offshore" limits are! I asked when I was renewing mine with Metlife. They told me I had only been insured for river's, lakes, etc, I wasn't insured for ocean! When I asked about offshore limits...

    Here We Go- 265 Express 200 Suzuki repower. Questions for the experts

    1) My Zukes were mounted 1 hole down from the top. 2) The dealer who installed mine recommended a new ram, being as mine was probably the original. My hoses looked like they had already been done. 3) Same props as Skunk 4 blade 15.25 x 22 4) Can't really help on this one, as mine still has its...

    Deck lights

    My 265 has the flood lights on each side of the tower, but there are also a couple of lights in the lower panels. I haven't been able to figure out how to turn those on. The bulbs appear to be ok. Is there a switch I'm not seeing or are they supposed to come on when I turn on the upper flood...
