    265 Express Transducer Install help

    I did a thru hull on my 265 with a 20 deg. Works great. However, I actually removed one of my seacoks in the process to keep it in a flat spot under the keel. Can maybe sacrifice one port and double on the other. For me I didnt need the AC so I used that location. Maybe combine the Live well and...

    Galvanic Isolator replacement

    I too am wanting to do this project. Location in the cabin doesn't seem to ideal for my shoreline setup thought. Let us know where you end up placing it!

    Crab pot puller

    Good recommendation. My current setup is hard wired (no plugs) to a solenoid and I coat the terminals with liquid electrical tape! but it seems like at least every two the three years there are issues! Even the "waterproof" Switches grenade after a bit. Just regular maintenance items.

    Crab pot puller

    I'm ok if we switch topics to Prawns. Those buggers are tasty! As far as pullers go it really just comes down to personal choice and how one wants to use their boat. They all will pull a variety of pots from the bottom. One thing I found that is a constant is no matter what system I have...

    Crab pot puller

    I have used the The Ace line haulers for years. They work sufficiently. However they have he same shortcoming as the Scotty. In my opinion, they do not bring the trap high enough out of the water or above the rail. If your using light pots and dont mind the trap hitting the side a little then...

    Is the Yamaha Gauge needed?

    Thats kinda what I was thinking. I have GPS speed, fuel levels and tach via NMEA. The only thing I need to veryify is the temp and alarms. For that matter I could re-locate those gauges and gain back some dash space. Maybe even add a small display in that area. Thanks for the input.

    Is the Yamaha Gauge needed?

    So bear with me for a minute.........One of my Yamaha Speedo gauges has become unreadable. I have seen that you can send them in to refurbish possibly. However my question is this. Do I really need it (the gauge) on my dash? I have twin 2009 F250's. But I have also since wired each motor to the...

    New in box Helm Cover 265 Express

    Sorry for being ignorant but Helm Cover? What does this look like? Is it canvas? I assume it covers the "bubble" area and maybe helm? Do you have a picture of it maybe in place?

    265 first ocean run

    Each Engine has its own dedicated line to each tank. So it can easily be the line to the Aux tank from the Port motor. It runs independent from the Starboard motor line. I had that exact problem so I replaced all 4 lines.

    265 battery shelf

    I have one on order on your recomendation. But can you explain what this controls? The best I can find in the Manual is it runs Accessories? Meaning the electronics im guessing?

    265 Express Fuel line replacement

    I hate to admit it but I just ran a metal tape from the hatch back to the rear trough and then pulled new lines with it. I didn't feel like pulling the deck. Seems fine so far. What problems did I introduce?

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    KY Grady, I love your setup. I have the same one. And something I learned, not that it matters, but the HS 60 has always looked backwards to me when set up per the manufacturer. Exactly like you have it, however it is possible to mount it 180 Deg. with the label forward and change the setting on...
