Grab a scraper and knock all those layers off that'll just fall off and then hit it with a sander to till you get to gel coat and then you should know what you're dealing with.

Just saw this recent development. The HC5358-3 is what i had on the 265 with zukes. You will get the height you need, However, those motors will probably never come fully out of the water, the corner of the lower unit, up to the top of the water intake strainer will sit in the water. What I...

FYI - 3x15.25x19 was the best fit for my 265 w/ 250's.

That vent in the corner there that looks to be disconnected, do you have a pic of it from the outside and a general pic of that entire side, from the outside?

Gotcha. And my bad, for some reason i thought you were out of Sandy Hook. Good luck with it!

Skunkboat, I'm across the bay from you in Jamaica Bay and my good friends at Atlantic Service and Equipment, Suzuki dealers are located here as well. They did the repowers on both my 265 and 330. They have a top notch shop for anything marine (and not) that you can imagine! PM me if you want...

Here is the solution for retrofitting with an external pump as others have mentioned. This was image/solution was posted by another member a few years back and I followed this setup when replacing mine. It is a very good setup, but good luck, this is a tough job - it is very hard to work...

Look up some of my posts/replies on the Zukes. 300's are the way to go on the 330. you wont be disappointed.

I will give you one more glimmer of hope! On some models (not sure on exact models, though i had it on my F225), the dipstick assembly itself is starts to leak over time when tilted up. I had the same symptoms as you and the assembly was the culprit. If this is the case, you will know right...

If you have the horizontal clearance to do this, then go for it. Personally, faced with the same challenge, I would just replace the outrigger system - either by getting the carbon fiber retractable ones that fit the existing holders or going all out and replacing the whole system and going...

Not sure if you mean drop them horizontal, like for trolling or drop them back by releasing the pin in the tension rod. I'll tell you now dropping them back is tricky, they only fall back so much and then they naturally push outward, you would almost have to tie then together with a rope across...

I don't think your riggers are 28', as Lee doesn't make them in 28' . It's more than likely MX Series 25' poles on the MX series fold down holders. Google those models and see if that is what they look like. If so, the tip of the rigger in stowed position is 24' from the water line. As 2...

Threw me off for a moment as well! Now that i look back i see the years of hull and motor and that could not be F250's. I STRONGLY second Skunboats thoughts on consumption and refueling options with OX66's on that run. You have 63 nm straight run to the start of the Mudhole, 22 nm to the...

I happen to be very familiar with those waters and all points offshore from the narrows out (my living room window looks onto the Narrows :-). Where are you guys leaving from on the sound and where do you intend to go offshore?

With 300 gallons, you will be fine. You should be achieving 1mpg at cruise with that boat and motors, even if you were getting less on the way out say .8 mpg, thats 90 gallons out +/- and lets say you get 1mpg coming back, that's 70 gallons making for 160 gallons running to and from. At 7 knot...

How far to the fishing grounds?

I'm going to agree and add that you can most certainly run a larger wheel - give the 16x18.5 WaterGrip series prop a try, I'm surprised you're only getting 6000 with those wheels - with the 16x17's on my 330 (I have 300 Zukes as well) i was getting 6250 trimmed all the way out with moderate load.

Actually, I can’t even believe that’s right, even with wrong size props and they are definitely wrong. Are the motors trimmed all the way out at WOT a the stated 5000?

Prop size? You are WAY out of operating range for those motors. I believe you optimally need to be at 5600-6000 with those motors.

I forgot the most important question - what are your RPMs at WOT?
