Skunk, one minor clarification - as you stated, the 265 does have a special short actuator and you can't install the standard kit indicator sensors as they won't work. However, Bennett does make an indicator sensor specific for the 265 actuators, I went through my local GW dealer to source the parts AND do the install as I could not begin to imagine how to get at the connections as you mentioned. Out the door, cost me about $900 for parts and labor but now I know where they are and they also auto-retract when the engines are shut down so at least I'm starting from zero every time I go out.
Fowl hooked do you have the part numbers I would like to do that to mine!

From what was on the invoice:
- Controller used was the Bennett EIC5000 ($426.93), I would have preferred the newer all in one unit but this is what they could get
- Harness was the EIC201, 20' length ($103.70)
- Indicators - 6BT501025000 ($47.19 ea, qty 2)

Can anyone else add to the props they are running. 2004 265 with yamaha f225s here. I want to try some Rev 4 14.6 x 17 I run very heavy. Not a lot of prop info in these 265s that I can fine. Anyone running Rev4? Thank you.
