I want to attach a video of my motors running to get opinion. Is this possible or is picture only possible? thanks

I am replacing my entire hydraulic steering system for no reason other than i have replaced everything else on this boat so why not. Perfectly functioning, no leaks, and 21 years old. For sale is Seastar HC5358 ram, HH5741 1.7 tilt helm, and about 20' of 1500psi hydraulic lines with fittings...

Twin 2005 Yamaha F225 (F225TXRD and LF225TXRD) outboards. Both engines have 900 hours today. I purchased a 2003 GW that had these motors on her with 861 hours in December of 2022 so they were not original to the boat. I only put 40 hours on the motors because of replacing fuel tanks, electronics...

Good morning everyone and Merry Christmas! I am considering a repower on my 265 Express. No hurry, but I’m starting to research. I currently have 2005 F225’s on my 2003 265X. I just redid all of the electronics and new fuel tanks and lines. I am keeping this boat for a while! from reading...

Good morning! Finally getting to use the 265x and it’s great! My aft bilge pump comes on pretty often and it has me concerned. I went searching for leaks by myself but can’t find anything. When others are on board, it happens. This leads me to believe it’s a scupper issue. Earlier this...

I have a 4 Kodiak 250SS calipers (actually the whole set including slip on rotors for 8 lug wheels) and my current trailer has a 6 bolt pattern with 225 calipers. My question is can the old 225 calipers be replaced with the 250's? The rotors might be an inch difference in size. I'm pretty sure...

So i have been trying to find what the performance of the 265 should be and haven't had much luck, so i thought that i would get something started. I just had my fuel tanks replaced in my 2003 with 2005 F225's (975hrs). I had the engines completely serviced (new fluids, plugs, thermostats...

Has anyone replaced the tanks on their 265 Express? I need to do this ASAP on my 2003. My 265 fuel sender thread has some details but figu that I should start a fresh one. I’ll try to document to help the next guy out. Looking for tips, tricks, traps, and any advice or instruction. thanks!,

Hi, Does it matter what fuel sender that i buy to replace what i have in a 2003 265 X? I just filled up the main tank until it almost overflowed and the gauge is blinking one bar. The aux tank is showing 4 bars but i have no way to confirm that this is accurate. When i tap on the main tank...

For those of you that have redid your dashboard or switch panels, how did you attach the new material to the fiberglass? I was thinking of using the blind inserts so that i can remove them easily. Basically, just 5200 the insert into the fiberglass hole and then screw into it. The purpose of...

What ring terminals do you guys use for NEMA2K power cable and Garmin power cables? Those wires are TINY! They must be like 22-24AWG. I did not find any heat shrink ones on line. Do these typically get soldered and then heat shrink over that? My plan is to attach to the fuse panel for power...

Hello, I am in the process of having New Wire Marine redo my dash, gauge panel and switch panel. I am not able to see the covers on the switches to replace them. I have a few that appear to do nothing. I went to Grady customer service with my HIN and they do not have the diagram for my...

So today as I was leaving the boat I noticed that neither of my two battery switches would turn off. I know That they have worked in the past. The only difference today was that I replaced 5 blown fuses. I didn’t have time to remove the batteries to get to the switches so I’ll go back later...

I’ll warn you that this is going to be a weird one. My scupper hoses are completely dry rotted On my 265. It appears that the only way to attach to the scupper end is to remove the batteries and the shelf. I am just now ordering parts, doing all of the sanitation hoses too, and trying to...

My new to me 2003 265 has a broken trim tab rocker switch. It appears that the part number is LS3000. Does anyone have one laying around that I could buy? If not, does anyone know the replacement part? I am redoing the helm area so I dont need to match the footprint. The switch is broken...

Hi, i am going to remove the hatch that covers the aft bilge and the larger hatch that covers the fuel tanks to have repaired. They are holding a ton of moisture. My question is what could I cover the openings with while being repaired? I was thinking of a piece of plywood and a blue tarp. I...

Hi everyone! I just had a very detailed survey completed on a 2003 265. Detailed means 327 pictures!!!! Needs some minor work but the hull is solid and the F225’s are like new. I’ll bring her home next week. I look forward to tapping into the wealth of knowledge on this forum.
