First, Get an eyeball and a wrench on every battery and switch connection, INCLUDING the negative cables. You have single motor and one 1/Both/2/OFF battery switch and two batteries? The House +12V is connected to the COM or FEED post of the switch (along with the motor's Positive cable) The...

radar can't see cedar channel markers and logs floating in the channel and kayaks...and a man overboard...

the bass boat guys have been using Lithium for a while. They pack thier boats with batteries for their electric motor(s). They need to save the weight. The weight isn't much of an issue on a 26ft Express as on a 16 ft bass boat. I don't want to sound like the old dude who doesn't like change...

Sounds like IONIC will work for you. You 've done your research. I am assuming you know if the 40ah has enough cranking amps. So you run on stbd switch position 1 and port position 2 the STbd motor charges the larger Stb battery and port motor charges port battery Unless you troll on one...

Having different size batteries effects charging and battery life if you don't keep them isolated Unless you have a thruster and/or an electric trolling motor, I question the advantage of using lithium batteries. Electric motors will require a lot of capacity and you would need to save weight...

The supports are adjustable at both ends Either the starboard side is too high or the port (hinge) side is too low. Or both loosen the feet to adjust

:oops:

First, thats not the 265 Express that HMB was talking about. The "repair" you see is most probably wax put there by the tow company ...or possibly the owner during the sinking to try stop the leak. I carry that same "toilet ring wax" in my emergency tools. I would also comment that the cracks...

idk that it was determined to be a transom failure.

Don't you need it for the winter?

Out of context, neither of those pix looks very concerning to me. Good luck finding a 23 yr old boat without gelcoat cracks, dings, scratches and chips.

well what are you towing with?

rod rack on the front of the truck or in the bed of the truck

Get a hand held rechargable battery one. Its way easier to point your hand than to fiddle with that damn button. No installation necessary. Its a no-brainer. something like this...Amazon spotlight I've had a remote spot and it was just stupid......it did look cool though....

I'm running Suzuki DF200s now. see first page of thread for details on performance. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/265-express-suzuki-df200apxw2.29099/ I had the original OX66 225s, 19M props. Sucked gas 1 mpg at 30mph on a good day. Over 30mph it really sucked gas. With the 225s it would...

Sounds great! Don't change a thing. No need to ever run a 265 over 40 mph.

Its a B744v as Hookup said. https://www.airmar.com/Catalog/Marine/Traditional-Frequency/Thru-hull/B744V It is an old school "traditional" 600w CW 50/200khz. With an adapter, it will work with any brand new sonar. However, it will not support the CHIRP feature of new sonars. It uses a 2" hole...

I went with white so the faded deck is less noticable.

I bet you could sell what you got on this forum

"New" is going to be near impossible. See this https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/hardtop-paint-265express.33928/ Hookup1 also had a thread about doing his hardtop.
