I like Woody Wax best following a thorough cleaning too. It's pretty easy to apply, so I usually put it on every 3-4 weeks.

Great upgrades ... what angle are those Lee's rod holders on the transom gate?

it should be slightly off center to the starboard side.

The f/w pump is located just beneath your feet when you're standing at the wheel. I've encountered the same issue in the past several times, so I ended up cutting the caulk with a utility knife so that it's just the four screws, and the floor piece comes up. Once that piece of the floor is...

There are many good places to fish near the island with nearly every species available. For Inshore fishing, the North Rips are among the best locations in New England to catch Stripers. I heard that there were 12 fish over 50 pounds taken last week alone. There are several places to catch...

Block Island is a great time, and I'm sure you'll enjoy. Champlins is the largest marina on the island and offers the most amenities. There is also the Block Island Boat Basin and Paynes dock. We have stayed at all 3 and prefer the Boat Basin since they do not raft boats together. On a...

I usually buy it at West Marine

my preference is similar to those mention above, but got to add Billy Joel into the mix!

Good luck, I'm heading out for a Thurs/Fri run, but haven't decided if I want to deal with the parking lot at hudson. Sounds like there's life to the east in the Dip too.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like a no brainer to have Sea Tow if you plan to travel any significant distance away from the dock. I agree that twins provide piece of mind for mechanical problems, but there are many other things that can go wrong out there. Whether it's an issue with E-10...

Thanks for the info ... makes sense, and I had suspected that it was less simple than the E-80 setup. I would love to see the pics of your flush mount project if you can post? Otherwise I can PM you my email address. Thanks

Trying to add a 2nd display unit to a C-80 system with plotter, radar, and fishfinder, but the raymarine installation instructions are not extremely intuitive, so I'm looking for some help. Does anyone have experience setting up a dual display c-series system? I'd like to understand the wiring...

Lee's Jr with the wishbone mounts were the std. I had mine installed after I bought it too, and I went with the 19.5 ft x-strong poles. Some on this forum prefer the hardtop mount riggers made TACO, but most dealers recommend that the hardtop be reinforced to accomodate the load, which makes...

On the 2004 265 it's under the helm floor at the foot of the captain's chair. There is a deck plate there, but I found it difficult to manuver through that small hole, so I removed the 4 screws holding the rectangular piece of the floor cut the caulk and pulled it up ... much easier. You'll...

Congratulations! Couldn't tell that it is an '89 if you didn't say anything. How fast does that think move with the 200?

8-10 footers with an occassional 12 coming in from Block Caynon a few summers ago. We were in my buddy's 38 ft Libby, which is a downeast style rig, but it was still pretty uncomfortable and took about 7 hours (normally takes 3). Not a lot of fun being airbourne in a 38 ft boat 50 miles offshore.

When I bought my 265 about a year ago, it had most of the options offered except for outriggers. Since I fish the NE canyons a few times each year I knew outriggers were something I would want to add later. Initially, I was big on the hardtop mount Tacos, but I was told by the dealer that the...

Nice ... I can probably do May 5th. Might even be wet by then! Thanks for the info.

What's the club name? My wife and I are interested in joining, but we will not be able to make it on the 5th. We live in New York City, but we keep our boat in Westbrook, CT. We sent the post card back to Grady ... just curious on next steps. Any info you can provide is appreciated.
