Page 6: Chapter 1 General Information
1/General Information 1.1 General Your EdgeWater 265CC is a semi-custom offshore fishing vessel that is designed to be powered by dual outboard engines. 1.2 Owner / Operator Responsibilities Registration Registering your boat is important to you. Federal Law requires that all powered, undocumented vessels be registered in their state of principal use. -
Page 7: Chapter 2 Helm Control Systems
2/Helm Control Systems 2.1 General The helm station is the control center for the boat. The main control systems are the engine throttle and shift controls, the steering system, and the trim tab controls. These provide the operator the ability to control speed, direction, boat trim, and attitude. Each manufacturer provides manuals on the operation and use of their systems. -
Page 8: Chapter 3 Propulsion System
3/Propulsion System 3.1 General Your new EdgeWater 265CC is designed to be powered by dual outboard motors only. Most 2- cycle outboards currently use an automatic system to mix the oil with the gasoline before the engine uses it. If equipped with 2-cycle engines, there will be oil tanks located on the center line behind the aft deck access doors and oil fills will be located on the motorwell side of the aft deck. -
Page 9: Engine Cooling System
Do not paint your outboard’s lower units with paints designed for boat hulls. Some can cause severe damage to your engine. Check with your engine manufacturer to get their recommendation. Do not attempt control adjustments unless you are very familiar with their function, operation and adjustment. -
Page 10: Engine Power Tilt And Trim
The power tilt and trim system on your outboard(s) provides the ability to optimize the running angle of your EdgeWater 265CC to allow for load and sea conditions. Moving the outboard lower unit toward the transom is generally referred to as trimming “in”, while moving the outboard lower unit away from the transom is referred to trimming “out”. - Page 11 Temperature Gauge This is designed to monitor the operating temperature of your engine’s cooling system. A sudden rise from the normal should be investigated to determine if there is an obstruction in the cooling system. Water Pressure Gauge This gauge measures pressure in the engine cooling system. If the pressure changes from the norm it could indicate a complete or partial blockage in the system or a water pump problem.

Page 13: Fuel System Maintenance
5/Electrical Systems 5.1 General Your EdgeWater 265CC operates on a 12 volt DC system, similar to your automobile. The batteries, (3 standard, 4 optional), are typically lead acid type and require similar maintenance to your car’s battery. A standard battery isolator and all batteries are located on the centerline of the boat behind the aft deck access doors. -
Page 14: Electrical System Maintenance
Check that the requirement of any device you install does not exceed the rating of the circuit breaker. Your 265CC is equipped with three batteries as standard, designated “PORT ENGINE”, “STBD ENGINE”, and “HOUSE”, with all connected to a battery isolator. The selector switches provide isolation for each battery and also provides the ability to have a back-up in case of a dead or weak battery, as the batteries are wired in parallel. -
Page 15: High Pressure Washdown
6.3 High Pressure Washdown The washdown system is comprised of a diaphragm pump, mounted in the starboard aft transom area and accessed by removing the battery switch panel door assembly on the starboard aft wall of the deck, and a washdown fitting to attach a hose. The pump is controlled by the washdown switch on the control panel. -
Page 16: Chapter 7 Drainage System
7/Drainage System 7.1 General All water drains from your EdgeWater 265CC by gravity. Your boat is self-bailing at rest. It is important to check drains frequently to make sure they are clear and free flowing. Review the schematic in the Appendix and become familiar with the location of each thru-hull drain. -
Page 17: Locker Drains
7.5 Locker Drains On the 265CC, there is a forward anchor locker which drains directly through the hull. There are also bow storage lockers on the deck, with the port side draining overboard and the starboard side draining to the deck. These lockers are close the waterline of the boat. It is possible that under certain conditions sea water may enter the lockers. -

• It is advisable to carry jackets or foul weather gear in the event of adverse weather conditions. Your EdgeWater 265CC is equipped with a maximum capacity rating plate permanently affixed to the helm area of your boat. It will provide information regarding the maximum number of people you can safely have aboard, the maximum amount of weight the boat can safely carry, and the maximum horsepower your boat was designed to handle. -
Page 20: Basic Rules Of The Road
Before Starting the Engine • Determine if the trip can be safely made by checking the weather. • Are all the proper boat and personal documents on board? • Check operational equipment, such as running lights and horns to make sure they are on board, and operable. -

Page 23: Docking
• Turn off all electronics and leave the battery switch in the off position. Remember, the bilge pump will operate properly even with the battery switches turned off. On a comforting note, your EdgeWater 265CC is fully self bailing and unsinkable. Proper precautions, however, are always prudent. 9.8 Trailering Your Boat Note: If you have doubts or questions about your tow vehicle or towing, contact your dealer. -
Page 24: Launching Your Boat
If you are new to trailering your boat, it is best to practice before actually getting in a situation where you are not sure of your ability. If possible use a trailer without a boat to practice with as you can see the trailer’s movement without the boat. -
Page 25: Chapter 10 Routine Maintenance
• Once the boat has touched the trailer, a little forward throttle should secure the boat on the trailer and allow you to put the engine in neutral and have the winch line attached to the bow eye. The boat should now be easily winched onto the last several feet of the trailer. -
