Those Honda will go into Guardian mode ( drop RPM’s down to near a idle) with an overheat alarm. Did it drop RPM’s? I had a BF 225 and the guys on the Honda forum over at MarineEngineForum.com were extremely helpful. Learned a lot about that engine over there. Worth a visit

Man- that looks great! Couldn’t wrap my head around your concept but now I get it. Would love to do that if I repower

I was hoping to get a little stern lift with the 4 blades, since most of my crew is back in the cockpit when cruising or on the way out/ back from the hunting grounds. Thought I may be able to pick up a few knots at cruise.But I don’t want to amplify the bow steer issue.

Any of you guys running 4 blade props? Thinking about trying some out, love to hear real world experiences. I have 200 HPDI’s on my 01

My 265 drain tubes also need replacement, that GEM product looks cool.

I will add this- take it easy when removing those Sender screws, you can screw things up quickly if you horse ‘em too much.

I am in!

Southern Style, I posted pics in Skunks “265 Mods” thread, I may have the Template if you want it

Skunk- I used a local guy to cut my black Plexiglass and do the cutouts for 2 10 inch Garmins. Was about $100. Even did the screw holes for me. NorVa Plastics in Norfolk, Va

Steiner’s have an unbeatable warranty, and they last forever. I have 7x50’s and 8x30’s on the boat. The 8x30’s are a lot lighter , easier on the arms when your using them a lot. The 7x50’s are better on the water, but most won’t notice the difference. They came out with a Police line a few years...

How loud is the pump? I hate listening to the AP pump all day

I want one of those hammers! What was it called again?

I like InReach as additional layer after EPIRB, PLB, plus it’s nice to be able to communicate with your buddies when your out of VHF range to see how the bite is where they landed.

Thought I posted link to video story. If you can find it, it’s pretty intense. Hopefully someone with better computer skills than I can find the video link.

These guys were 11 miles out in August, at a very popular spot. Shit can go bad quick, lucky it was Summer . Why wouldn’t you at least have a PLB? https://www.acrartex.com/stories/cape-henry-virginia-beach-boat-sinking-rescue-USCG

Lucky 13- had the same issue with my 01 265, just replaced the switch covers with new ones. I think I got them from Taylor’s Marine in DE. Here’s a pic of the panel before replacing covers.

Buddy sells boats for a living, doesn’t have the GW line but some nice mid- tier manufacturers. Basically every boat delivered from factory is sold at full list before it gets unloaded off the truck. He’s got bidding wars breaking out on any good used rig he lists. Crazy time to buy a boat now...

I am interested if your deal falls thru let me know

If he is not interested I am, where are you located?

I would call Lee’s directly, they helped me over the phone with my 265 riggers
