    265 not so fresh water tank

    I haven’t even taken the antifreeze out of mine since I purchased my 265 in December of 22. Now, I’m afraid because I don’t need another project either.

    265 fold down transom

    I guess I view the rod holders as holes but they also have drain holes into the splash well versus, potentially, into the bilge. Plus not going through gel coat. Also, the eye being in the way when people use the swim platform depending on where mounted. I did buy new ball latches but haven’t...

    265 fold down transom

    I just picked up 4 used Gemlux rod holders for the transom. I also don't plan to troll from them. Is the bungee to a hook eye necessary to support the weight of the rod holders and rods while running? I don't love the idea of drilling a hook eye and a SeaSucker D ring is like $60 each. Any...

    Lee Jr. Outrigger Adaptor

    AutoPilot upgrade from manual hydraulic

    i made all of the hoses based on the sizes of the old hoses that i removed from the boat. Those Parker fittings are really nice! I added the Shadow Drive so hopefully, i have no issues too. I am not at the boat but in preparing so i can be efficient when i get there, i'm thinking about power...

    Repower 265 Express

    So you think i need HC5345 then? Hate to buy another part but everything else is new so it's probably smart. Who knows how long before the seals go, i guess. Just trying to justify :)

    Repower 265 Express

    According to Skunks education, I need to put the steering ram on top versus dealer installed below. I didn’t try to raise the motors all the way up. I keep on a lift but I still want it right. I plan to replace all the hydraulic lines to install the Garmin AP in March. I’ll handle all of the...
