    NW Oregon fishing reports

    Slow go out to our spot yesterday, lots of fog. But burned off and was a beautiful day. 20 sea bass, 8 lings, and 3 coho.

    Fuel issue resolved -265 Express

    Vent hose appears to be good as well. Maybe the previous owner changed the hoses at some point, and that's left over stuff. Hard to say at this point. At this point, just going to run it. After each run, I'll pull the tubes out, since it's pretty easy access, until they come back clean.

    Fuel issue resolved -265 Express

    Well doesn't appear that it's an issue with the fill hose. Looks like this all the way down. Time to check the vent hose.

    Fuel issue resolved -265 Express

    Well looking for some suggestions. Took out a couple of compartments to gain access to the hoses. The hoses appear to be like the scupper hoses I replaced and have the wire coil in them. With the scupper hoses I just used a dremel to cut through the metal wire coils to get them to "spring"...

    Fuel issue resolved -265 Express

    Yeah, Im probably going to run the tank down as much as possible, so I dont need to figure out a way to store 130g of fuel. Then try to figure out the best way to get inside the tank to clean it out.

    Fuel issue resolved -265 Express

    Now that you mention it and looking at it zoomed in, doesn't look like silicone, can see the angle looking pieces mixed in and on the side. Won't get into the whole ethanol vs non-ethanol argument, but could just be because the hoses are probably 25 years old, seeing as its a 2000 265. ;)

    NW Oregon fishing reports

    A good day out in the big pond. One of the smoothest days I can recall in a long time, and seemed to get flatter as the day went on. Got our limits of 20 bass and 8 ling cod, 5 coho (limit 8), 12 crab (limit 48). My buddy also caught the elusive Pacific Rock fish! Feared by many of ocean...

    Fuel issue resolved -265 Express

    So from my original post last year of my first ocean run in my 265, I mentioned I was having a stalling issue when running on my main tank. Would happen pretty randomly. Sometimes pretty quick, sometimes after running a while. Would generally start out the day running on the main, and if it...

    265 Express ready for season

    Spent the day getting the old girl cleaned up after getting a few things fixed this spring. New strata on the front and front side windows. New radar cable, not sure what happened with the old one. And some random Misc stuff. Still have a few detail things I need to get done. Polish the...

    Looking to purchase used Raymarine a98 9-inch

    Last year when I was upgrading my electronics, West Marine had a deal on the Raymarine Axiom 9" RV. It was on sale for $699 and you also got a free 3D transducer. It was a smokin deal. West Marine actually has the same MFD on sale again for the same price, just no free transducer.

    265 X - Seakeeper Ride

    I also dont know if the sea-keeper ride would mount correctly on a 265. Our 265s have those pockets for the trim tabs. I guess if you left the tabs in place and disconnected them it might work, but not sure the proper way to mount them would be with those pockets there.

    Wiper mechanism

    He had me measure the arm. Mine measured 22" from the center of each pivot point. The part # he gave me for the arm was LE72113922S. He mentioned they had 24 in stock, but was now obsolete. The outside adapter plate is Pentograph part # 200241, this is for the "dry" plate. If yours has the...
