    2003 265 Express Raymarine Radar and Fishfinder

    You are rocking some old stuff there. I think the radar is usable as a stand-alone. I sold that exact unit and got a new Garmin Fantom IMO a 20 year old 600W 50/200khz CW transducer isn't worth replacing. . Get a new 12" touchscreen MFD with chirp sidescan sonar and transom mount...

    2003 265 Express Raymarine Radar and Fishfinder

    Generally, the Airmars just need to be rewired to a different plug for different manufacturer's. If you dig on their site you can usually find the wire color/pinouts. You can get the ohms measurements if you want to go that far.. https://www.airmar.com/xref.html Find the connection of the...

    Steam from new engine...

    It could be normal vapor or it could be bad. We can't tell from a description. In the context that you had an unidentified problem earlier with it going into limp mode, I would investigate it. I think you can look at engine temps and water pressure on the CL7?

    Gemlux Bluewater bases on GW335

    the deluxe are 1.5" base. Their longest riggers in that size are 18'. I doubt yuo'll find 22' poles with 1.5" bases. You have a dual console so your top is wide. The 18'ers will get you out there. If you really need 22'ers, consider Lee wishbones or Jrs since you aren't walking around the...

    Upgrade outboards

    The new Mercs are the lightest 4 stroke out there. Their 200 is a v6 and lighter than the Yammie and Zuke i4. I thought they were under 500lbs. I don't see the weight as an unfixable problem. 33 year old boat and $40k...makes you think. Depends on if the boat is really nice, already has the...

    2003 265X switches

    Oh can you have multiple tanks connected to command link plus?. Maybe that puts them on N2k. The you don't need the N2k Fuel adapters and you don't need the switch.

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    There is no advantage to them not being on battery switches. There is no advantage to them being both permanently connected to the same battery bank. These are bad things.

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    So, in the OEM Grady configuration... Your two black batteries are supposed to be your STBD Start and your House battery and the blue die hard is supposed to be your Port start battery. Stbd motor crank wire and wire to House circuit breaker on the Stbd switch FEED Port motor crank lead on the...

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    I'm confused by your situation. I would expect the dealer to tell you that the cables don't reach and give you a price for extending them. Actually I would have expected them to know the length of the cables and quote the extention in the price or "suck it up" in the "installation " price. I...

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    In your picture I can't make out the small White & black for eack motor to its battery. It comes from the harness bundle.

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    Can't make heads or tails out of that picture. Oh, I think I see a suzuki cable directly to the battery.... Is that an ON/OFF switch with the red handle? Do you have two of the typical Guest 1/both/2/off switches?

    Easter bunny came early

    All Zukes are Gray on the inside;) They don't paint the tilt/trim at all. and their tilt/trim is above the water not like the Yammies. I had a black DF140 for 12 years. The stickers faded but the paint held up very well. Yes, the salt spray showed ...but that helped you clean it right. I got...

    2003 265X switches

    If I remember it was a SPDT wired as an ON/ON or A/B selector. There was no 'OFF" position. As seasick says, the center pin goes to the gauge and the switch position chooses which tank sendor to put on the Yamaha gauge. You have two new Garmin 1243s? IMO, get two NMEA 2000 Fuel Level adapters...

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    Verified as I thought, they do not move with switches off. I can't imagine how the engines could move trim but not start. This is from the helm trim button or the one on the motor or both? I have the Positive start wire switched. I have the White & Black harness directly to battery.

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    Hmmmm. I’m not near my boat so I can’t test. But I’m pretty sure I had to climb into the boat to turn on the switches so could tilt my motors to service them

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    no thats not right. The starter cable POS should be on the battery switch for each motor. The trim gets power from that. When I switch off that, my trim will not work. Zukes ( at least the AP versions) also have a small Black & White electronics power cable direct to battery
