    Running out of fuel

    I don't run engines on separate tanks. Run both engines Aux first. If you "run it dry" one engine will die first because the pickups are slightly staggered. That warns you that the tank is low and you are still running one engine on that tank. Switch both motors to Main...same warning if you...

    265 anchor and rode

    depends on the wildcat (gypsy) that you have on the windlasss another reason for using a capstan instead. You can have any chain (you do have to lift the chain by hand)

    265 anchor and rode

    I switch between a 16 LB claw and a 13 lb Fluke style depending on which one I lost most recently and which was cheapest to buy at the time... Often we rig with zip ties to release but we have to go straight to anchor if we break loose a lot. Also had it break loose and we dragged thru a wreck...

    Red Button in Bilge

    That is the infamous 40Amp red button breaker for your entire 12V system...evrything on the dash....lights, horn, electronics... Those breakers suck. You can't turn it off. It just sits there until it rusts and fails. Change it to a trip-able breaker like a Bussman 185 style or MRCB (Marine...

    fuel shut off valve

    You have twins right? One or two tanks? I'd be surprised you don't have valves if you have two tanks.

    fuel shut off valve

    It (they) would be on the top of the tank or right next to the fuel/water separator(s).

    Outboard motor fllush bag

    Lots of variables...water pressure, length of hose, seal of muffs....sometimes it just won't prime the pump with muffs. My OX66s never worked on muffs. needed a Yamaha Hot Tub. Even other motors sometimes need help by taping over some of the drain holes in the LU. Occasionally my new Zukes...

    Rigging

    pull it back into the battery compartment and screw it to the bulkhead. Use pan head screws with wide washers. that will hold it from coming out again.

    Compromised photo

    depends on whether you still have the original file from the SD card. If you made it smaller to post somewhere, and that was a copy made at the time, then you might still have the original somewhere on your computer. You can't fix that file. Its only 47kb 640x420 72dpi.

    Helm Chair

    oh. Just looked at it closely. That one is different than the flip seat I looked at in WM a few years ago. I like the bolster feature. Will that mount on the slider pedestal?

    Groco pump -simple macerator retrofit- 265 Express

    I've heard the "SCAD" level sensor is a simple and cheaper alternative to the ridiculous $500 price of a Groco level sense replacement. I don't have it but thats what I'm looking at. https://www.scadtech.com/tank_monitors

    Patching a hole in console top, proper procedure?

    Like I said, you have one in your phone. Doesn't need a connection. A compass that doesn't point the right direction isn't any better than looking at the sun or lights on the horizon. Money better spent on a GPS with Heading sensor.. then you see where you are pointed on your MFD even if you...

    Looking for input on transom cracks

    you need the glass attached to the wood. Only way to do that is remove the glass. If you do that you might as well replace the wood (with coosa).

    Helm Chair

    I think that was too wide for my 265.

    Patching a hole in console top, proper procedure?

    Maybe just forget the compass? You have 2 MFDs that can show you where you are going better than a compass. You have a phone that can act as a compass.
