Holy Crap! Water was gushing into the bilge from all 3 plates. I just put the hose on and looked through the inside the cockpit access plate. Doesn’t take long at all to raise the float switch to turn on. New plates and 4200 will be here on Tuesday so I’m thinking that this was my problem...

I just opened the three plates in the splash well. I have never seen plates open so easily. Definitely seals are shot. ordered 3 new screw in types to replace. Howeve, I don’t think that this is the water intrusion point. All three of them had dry dirt/dust or whatever falling out of them...

Good call, considering I didn’t even know the plates were back there. Just ordered 3 screw in plates and some 4200.

Ordered. Will be here Tuesday. Thanks!!

I definitely “had” flappers in the thru hulls when I launched the boat. I just didn’t pay any attention to their potential serviceability. I figured if water was backwashing into the through hull it would be going up hill and it would stay in the new hose that I installed Until it came back...

So this freaking wind blew most of the water out of my creek so I can’t test. I dont want to pull off of the lift because I need to remove the batteries and the shelf that I cut out to see the scuppers. I have a giant trash can that can add weight with the hose. I’m also thinking that I’ll...

Good morning! Finally getting to use the 265x and it’s great! My aft bilge pump comes on pretty often and it has me concerned. I went searching for leaks by myself but can’t find anything. When others are on board, it happens. This leads me to believe it’s a scupper issue. Earlier this...

I have a 4 Kodiak 250SS calipers (actually the whole set including slip on rotors for 8 lug wheels) and my current trailer has a 6 bolt pattern with 225 calipers. My question is can the old 225 calipers be replaced with the 250's? The rotors might be an inch difference in size. I'm pretty sure...

no, I likely wont hit full throttle again. I do just like to understand what the capabilities are. I am interested in cruising at 30 plus so I’m happy with the 265. I’m coming from a 31 Fountain which was a rocket with rod holders. if I ever decided to repower I’d probably look to go to...

So i have been trying to find what the performance of the 265 should be and haven't had much luck, so i thought that i would get something started. I just had my fuel tanks replaced in my 2003 with 2005 F225's (975hrs). I had the engines completely serviced (new fluids, plugs, thermostats...

I just paid about $10k for two new tanks, all hoses and fuel lines, including labor on my 265. Probably could have gotten it cheaper but I wanted it done so I can use the boat this summer. Should have it back this week. This is in Maryland

I’m not sure. I’ll take a look next week when I, hopefully, get her back

Well the tanks are in. Not much in the way of pictures but here’s a few. The sea trial/leak test found that the motors would only get to about 4500rpm’s. No leaks though! every filter has been changed on the motors so the injectors were pulled and sent out for cleaning. Hope to have them...

Skunk, did you try the dealer? They should be able to get one. D handle is # 30-329.

The T handle is part #30-179 and the D handle is # 30-329. I think that I have an old T handle part around here somewhere that I could probably sell you if interested.

I don’t know. Composite yacht is doing it for me. I suspect that they will do what ever they do on their new builds.

I can’t upload a photo because it says it’s too large. Anyway, mine looked much worse than this and the boat was lift kept. These hoses are absolutely critical to change out in advance of needing to change them out. You change your oil before the motor blows up? I’m not saying annually but...

Total. Tanks $2600 for one and $2800 for the other.

Yeah, I think that I’m going to have someone else do this. Definitely doing both tanks. One quote came back at ~10k. I was not expecting this! $22 per gallon on the tanks plus labor. Hopefull, some of the others are less.
