Does anyone have any thoughts on my drawing in post #38? Or should I create my own thread for more visibility? I want to get everything ordered so that I can get started on the AP install. Thanks so much!

Got the switches all wired up, the gauges switched over and wired and cut out for the 2 12” panels. Radar is installed too. Should get wrapped up this week and then I’ll start the auto pilot which I’m kind of nervous about. Won’t be long now!

new wire marine does custom panels

The 100lb gas spring just got here. What a difference! I can lift it with one finger now. Gotta install the latches but I might not need them. I’ll see. Moving on….

I found this in the folder that my previous owner gave me. Maybe this can help?

The 2 gauges with blue tape are the tachometers. The gauge with three plugs used is the speedo and the final gauge is the fuel management. Hopefully this gets you going in the right direction

My panel is ripped apart right now so I can take pictures if it helps. My motors are 2005 f225’s so not sure if it will help though. They are the old round style gauge. Just let me know

i will be starting this project next week. What type of gasket did you put behind the panels? I assume I can get something from Home Depot that will work. Thanks!

I’ve got nuthin’ but I’m so excited for you! Congratulations on the maiden ocean voyage. Mine is on my lift and the new wire marine panels get here monday%. Hopefull, I get the electronics installed quickly and can join in the beginning of firsts. I’m super excited to run my 265

welcome! I'm pretty new here as well. Lots of great information and experience to help you with your boat. Now, please send some of the rockfish back up the bay to Maryland!

I just got new ball spring latches Too. The shock can be pushed by hand and it has water in it. That door weighs a ton! Thanks for the part number! this boat is a money pit

Looks like I need a new one for the 265 transom. The part number stamped on it is 315\668\2172 unless that is a phone number and GW 10-49 or 149. I’ll call tomorrow and update this thread in case it helps someone in the future.

ok. I think that I might have this figured out, but it requires new hydrauli lines because I can’t figure out if the Parker fittings will work with the 1500psi hose. I went to Parker and they said that they are a competitor to sea star and have no idea if it will work. Anyway, if I buy two...

Marine glass is still doing replacement. Just did by 265 vent window. Not cheap, but it is exact.

Keep calling. He did my 265 window over the winter.

maybe there was a supply chain issue on hoses 20 years ago that no one remembers :)

There is no good reason for the 1500. I have the hh5741 1.7 tilt helm that says 1000psi on it! She has a single ram, not pro, with a tie bar. I can only assume that when the 2005 motors were put on the 2003 ( it was in 2005 I’m told) hull they swapped out the hoses for some reason???? I...

Interested too. Just did my 265 (she was so neglected) and these points were challenging. I taped off with blue tape and did the best I could with the rotary and then by hand. For wax I did the best I could with the small da and then by hand.

Bringing up an old thread to keep everything organized for the next person in the future. I'm trying to get all of my materials for the AP install. Plan to put the pump through the cockpit tackle storage and the computer behind the salon drawers. Do you still like this set up 4 years later...

Never mind. It won’t work with just a wedge. You’ll lose a lot of coverage due to the beam hitting the hardtop and bow. Either way, glad I found this thread! I’m relocating the radar to the front of the hardtop with a 6” tower. Gotta figure out how to patch the 1” hole from the old cables...
