I think the 1500 psi hose is going to change everything. I don't think the Parker part# 2TFMS-6-5b field replaceable fittings are going to work on 1500 psi tubing. I could be wrong . You'll have to research that. Which helm do you have? A Classic tilt 1.7? Do you have a "Tournament" cylinder...

You're as low as they go and thats correct. I guess the 4 x16 x20 are not better than the suzuki 4 x15.25 X22. Several of us are running them happily and so I guess thats the winner. The comment about it healing over...I found with the 265 that if you lose track of where your tabs are you will...

Most important question...Are you docking or trailering? If you are trailering get a CC. You don't need the storage and the way you use the boat will be based on launching and recovering probably in the same day. You aren't going to launch if the weather might blow by noon. Forget about...

In my case the pairs of batteries are in separate compartments the Only reason to access them is to work on the batteries I don’t have to access the switches anymore. So I’m not going to put something on the batteries to protect me when I’m not in there that I have to take off when I go in there.

I don't care how much wire costs, you don't use green or black or yellow for Positive battery connections. I understand motor cables are always black and have a red heat shrink to identify the Positive lead.

Guilty.

idk what the problem is but... Is that green wire right? Should'nt the +12v wire be orange from bennet tabs? I don't like green wires on positive terminals.

You absolutely have the wrong props. Those motors will push that boat over 40. I have a 265 express. Very similar hull and weight. Actually I think 265 is wider and heavier. Not just me, there are several 265s with twin new suzuki DF200APs running 4 blade 15.25 x 22 props cruise 30-33 mph...

agree, stick with the batteries you have. As for "parallel", your batteries are not connected in parallel. They are not in series either. They are separate. You have a 1/2/both switch. you can choose one or the other or both. If you choose both you are connecting them in parallel using the...

As Hookup said. You don't have a dedicated House battery. The house is connected to the Feed post along with the motor. The battery switch chooses which battery is connected to the motor and the house. This is the standard setup from Grady. To change that you need to separate the House from the...

By Dual Cycle I think you mean Dual Purpose "DP" as opposed to Deep Cycle "DC". There is no good reason to NOT use two 27DP batteries in your situation. You will have plenty of starting power for a fuel injected 4 stroke that fires at the first click of the key. You don't need a dedicated...

It could just be the timing of when you checked it. The T stats don't open until about 150Deg F. Until then the water is not flowing in the head. So you shut off the motor before the water has a chance to cool the head and it still has all that heat when you go to flush. I have experienced that...

I think that compartment IS the bilge. Isn't that the hull between the stringers you are seeing at the bottom of that space?

On my 265 I ended up with a 4",aft rake, SeaScan that I got from KYGrady. When I redid my hardtop I glassed the old holes from the raytheon and re-drilled for the seascan. Two bolts in front of crossbar, two behind. I put a large cable clam straight back into the upper box of the hardtop. You...

26ft and over WITH an enclosed engine compartment. technically you don't need them if you don't have a generator. But that doesn't mean the Coasties know the rules... They were on the boat(in a drawer) when I bought it . I put them on the head door because its the largest flat surface on the...

If its a Honda alternator error, look in the Honda.

heheh, put the tabs up and pull the fuse. When you list on plane, tell people to sit the f down... Thats my 265 tip of the day.;)

I've been there on two boats. Yes ugly 3' to 5' SW for 3 hours puts a lot of sway strain on any hardtop, especially a heavy 20 year old one like mine.. Multiply by many trips and you get those splits. 5 years seems a little early though... You got lucky and got it fixed without removing the...

hehehehe...Tom Petty every hour?

idk what else is wrong from one picture. Assuming the transom and stringers are good, if you get it really cheap and do the work yourself the boat is savable. That repair is tricky because the grind is down to the edge of bottom of the hull. To get strength you will have to wrap around. But...
