The only bad thing I’ve heard about them is the year plus wait! They would be awesome on my 265 Express.

OP- off topic but how do you like those new Merc’s? I hear great things about them ( other than the 53 week lead time currently). Would be a perfect match for my 265 Express.

I am an idiot- thanks for the info. Could not figure out what it was called so my searches where fruitless.

Not even sure what it’s called but the original one left with the window . Got a new window now I need one of these, haven’t been able to find one:

Also- ditch the Yamalube and switch to Penzoil XLF. Burns much cleaner and is cheaper. I get mine at WalMart. Making this switch and using Yamaha Ring free will make a big difference

Lots of info on this topic over on THT. I am with Skunkboat, go ahead and replace the oil filter and inspect pump on tank, if it looks bad they aren’t too expensive to replace. I had a devil of a time getting this issue sorted out on my 01 HPDI’s. Went ahead and replaced remote tank pumps, those...

Personally I’d bite the bullet and get the fuel professionally polished. I bought a 265 that the prior owner hadn’t used the Aux tank in 13 years. Was about 1/2 full ( 130 gal tank). Was about $400.00. USA Fuels did it, I think they are nationwide. To answer your question. I used this stuff and...

I recently had to contact Marine Glass Specialties for a side vent window with the extrusion piece you are referring to. 2001 265. Apparently George is out with some medical issues and Tex is covering. He got right back to me and took care of what I needed. Since it was the second one I have...

Marine Glass Specialties may be able to help, give them a call

I replaced the senders in my 265 last year. Totally destroyed the Rivnuts holding the screws in, had to replace about 5 of them. Be careful with them. Self-inflicted SNAFU, for sure.

Mine would idle fine up to about 3500 all day long but once I got above that, she’d alarm

When I was chasing my overheat issue on my BF 225, I took my heat gun and ran it until it alarmed, then I was able to determine which cylinder bank was overheating based on my heat gun readings. Turned out it was a stuck thermostat on one side. While you’re under the hood, check the T-stat...

Those Honda will go into Guardian mode ( drop RPM’s down to near a idle) with an overheat alarm. Did it drop RPM’s? I had a BF 225 and the guys on the Honda forum over at MarineEngineForum.com were extremely helpful. Learned a lot about that engine over there. Worth a visit

Man- that looks great! Couldn’t wrap my head around your concept but now I get it. Would love to do that if I repower

I was hoping to get a little stern lift with the 4 blades, since most of my crew is back in the cockpit when cruising or on the way out/ back from the hunting grounds. Thought I may be able to pick up a few knots at cruise.But I don’t want to amplify the bow steer issue.

Any of you guys running 4 blade props? Thinking about trying some out, love to hear real world experiences. I have 200 HPDI’s on my 01

My 265 drain tubes also need replacement, that GEM product looks cool.

I will add this- take it easy when removing those Sender screws, you can screw things up quickly if you horse ‘em too much.

I am in!

Southern Style, I posted pics in Skunks “265 Mods” thread, I may have the Template if you want it
