    NJ Offshore Wind Farms Pros/Cons/Conspiracy theories

    Please enlighten me on this. Maybe I'm reading your statement wrong but doesn't sunshine reach us in just over 8 min? I'm all for changes in ways to improve our footprint on the planet. There is big debate here on the west coast regarding dams and their effect on everything from water temp...

    Crab pot puller

    Looking to see what crab pot pullers people are using and maybe pics on how you have it set up. I looked at the scotty puller that goes on the downrigger mount, but seems like the reach isn't very much. I like the Ace Line Brutus puller, it can also go on the scotty downrigger mount. Thanks

    265 scupper hoses

    I don't know the spec, but for what I understand since they are essentially below the water line, they need to be "collapse" resistant. As Skunk mentioned, use the white vinyl helix series 148. I picked it up at West Marine. It has a plastic "coil" in the hose versus the metal coil that was...

    265 scupper hoses

    Probably common sense, but figured I'd post this as a reminder. If you are inspecting your drain hoses, don't trust just looking at the tops of them like I did. Get a mirror or remote camera and look at the undersides. A month or so ago, I was going to replace mine, but after I cut out the...

    New Battery Config for 265

    Thanks! I also assume there is another ground daisy chained off one of the batteries that goes to the helm for ground?

    New Battery Config for 265

    Perfect, thanks. I plan on adding a couple of bus bars to rid some of the connections on the batteries to clean it up a bit. Can you tell me where they "tie" together at, or are they direct connection to each battery? I've seen where the negative cables drop down below the batteries, but...

    New Battery Config for 265

    Silly question, as I haven't really dug into the battery wiring, but getting ready to. Do all 3 batteries have a shared grounding point?

    Backup bilge

    I'm replacing the deck drain hoses on my 265, also going to be adding a high water alarm. I'm thinking of adding a backup aft bilge pump, but wondering where a good place to mount it? I was maybe thinking of the platform where the oil tanks used to be, but wondering if that would be to high? Or...

    Good bumpers?

    2 year old thread, but I'll play. Dont think we need to worry about being more light weight, aerodynamic, and fuel efficient for a boat bumper, unless maybe they are dangling off the side while running. +2 on being called a "fender"

    265 Capsized of Jersey Coast

    That right there is the reason I sold my aluminum North River last year and bought the 265. After 7 years of running for albacore in the North River, last year we got the crap beat out of us on a run out. Wasn't that it was unsafe conditions, just sloppy. I said enough is enough.

    Telescopic Outrigger Poles w/ OEM Mounts

    Hmm, I'll have to look again, but I'm 99% certain the base of poles were different between one another. Unless there is an insert to the base that stuck to one?

    Telescopic Outrigger Poles w/ OEM Mounts

    I haven't used mine yet on the 265, as I have to rerig them. But when I was looking at them, the base of the poles are different on each side. Like they are side specific.

    265 Capsized of Jersey Coast

    Also considering the high water alarm, is there one that is recommended?

    265 Capsized of Jersey Coast

    Even though we don't know what caused this, it's making me rethink doing my drain hoses now versus this next off season. I inspected them, and they "appear" to be in good shape, but better safe than sorry. Was also wondering if its a good idea to reseal the thru hulls on the bottom for the...
