Seeing a little moisture on the bunk under the hatch... Before I think about anything dramatic, I thought I would replace the hatch seal... Does anyone know the correct gasket material for the Bomar hatch for a 2001 265 Express?

I have about decided that I don't want to mess with the ones that are already there - they are old and the bar spanning the opening is broken on 2 out of 4, but I just don't feel like trying to fool with them and the drain tubes... Has anyone identified a good stainless screen or grate that one...

I am thinking about replacing my old, faded gauge panel (aluminum with carbon fiber look) with something new... Has anyone already had one fabricated do I can just order a copy from the shop?

Mine are old, and the white bar inside one just broke off (and the others are not far behind)... Are these hard to replace? Accessible with the rear panel removed? I think I looked at this some time ago, and I remember it was daunting, or else I would have changed them then... Anyone done...

I want to replace the primer bulb and fuel line assemblies on my 265 express... Can someone confirm how these connect? I think it's just a hose couple on the engine, but what does it connect to on the boat side? The fuel filter bracket? Does it use the fitting that comes with these...

I changed out all of the basket filters in the injectors; now eyeing up the pair in each fuel pump... Do I need to reflexively replace the O-rings on the fuel lines (and elsewhere, if any)? Seem like most people who have done this just coat the existing ones with 2 stroke oil... I did replace...

White or cream? I use almond caulk, and while the boat is 20 years old, not sure what would blend better... What do you have?

So I pulled the old scuppers off the transom (265) and saw that two of the three drain tubes were not flared on the outside of the transom... The flare on the inside on the middle drain had corroded and broken off, so I was keen to replace at least that one... I chiseled out the middle and...

I'm getting an estimate on having a pair of end caps fabricated from SS... If anyone needs a pair, let me know, and maybe we can get a better unit price...

The list is starting to shrink... Biggest job was sanding and painting the bottom... I then ran the 3-in1 transducer cable to the new carbon MFD... replaced cup fuel filters, oil strainers (in tank), and in-line oil filter on engine... Checked the plugs - GTG... Did the VST, silver cans...

So, For the last few years, I've thought about replacing my cushions because they are extremely hard... I put in a Froli underlayment, which helps mainly with ventilation, but not much with cushion... I have put mattress toppers over the cushions, and this works OK, but is a PITA... I have...

Pulled out my nasty old DC-440 yesterday in anticupation of replacing it with a CR49 with AC/DC... Anyone have suggestions on the gauge wire for power? Run from the breaker box looks like we'll under 10 feet... Also, what rating for the breaker I'll put in the ACC slot? 10 Amps?

Finally got a companion to my HDS gen 2 Touch, an HDS Carbon... Significant step up from the earlier unit...

I am thinking about replacing my old DC440 DC-only fridge with something new, maybe one that runs off of shore power when at the dock... Has anyone with a 265 express done this? How/where do you hook into AC/shore power?

The straight lines are AP-1 guided - the wiggly ones are me... Nice to see how effective the AP is on my 265 Express...

Based on a suggestion I read years ago, I finally bought an oval starboard table from Boat Outfitters and fitted it with a pedestal mount... At anchor or tied up, I can remove the helm chair and conveniently tip it up and over, resting on the steering wheel and dash... I now replace it with...

I'm replacing my trim and bracket zincs (trim anodes had only moderate erosion) on my HPDIs, but didn't inspect the cylinder head anodes - frankly, I haven't ever inspected them, and would have to look at the manual to find them... Are these commonly replaced?

Oil looked OK, but the pressure held at only 8 PSI on the port (CR) lower unit... Pretty sure it's the prop seals, but since we're replacing the water pump, we'll also do the upper seals... Anyone have a list of parts (or a kit) I need for this? Already have the water pump parts - just...

My starboard oil fill deck plate is missing the little plastic insert that keeps you from putting gas in that hole... I find them useful for holding the funnel I use to add oil... I looked into replacing the deck plate, but there seems to be no way to remove it... The oil fill tube is almost...

So, I got everything wired up and connected - the pump, the HDS, the NAC-1, and the AP-1... That all worked... What didn't work was the hydraulic fittings... I have the NPT, "old-syle", helm... But with the constraints on space and routing lines, I wanted to use ORB fittings... The only...
