Very interesting Seasick, as I usually charge with position OFF and have found I need to charge each battery individually to achieve Full Charge to both. So that makes sense then. I will also try Positive to Batt 1 and Negative to Batt 2 as "ttles" suggests as both batteries are same make and...

Thanks Folks very helpful

Thankyou my mistake, yes they are in parallel. Cheers

I've just replaced my two house batteries with lead acid wet cells of 85amphr each. I have a Cetek charger and as the batteries are in series do i only need to hook up to one for them both to be fully charged?

No problems here ever; and we changed motors from 2 strokes to 4 stroke F225's and with the added weight she sits a little lower but still clears water fine. If we are bottom bouncing and there are 4 of us around the stern then a liitle water may sit there but once we move away from the stern...

My 265 has been repowered but you can see the Oil filters below the repositioned fuel filters Cheers from OZ

Thankyou but I really would like to stick to the original Grady material if possible. Is that what you intend to use ? or do you know where it is available? cheers

G'day from Australia, my 265 needs new fabric on the bolsters and I would like someone to help source the material and i will obviously reimburse them for their time and expense. I have tried several times via email etc to get fabric from the US; direct thru dealers and a fabric warehouse but...

I don't know why they persist with that advice but further back has to be better. In rough conditions that area could easily be out of the water. You want an area that has clean water and definitely no air!

My brother has just taken delivery of his 26ft Century which he imported as I did 3 years ago with my Grady.

no it's an airmar 525. not sure if they are made any more.

In case Gradyfish doesn't get back.....I've had mine in now for approx 3 years and with the large fairing block there is plenty of room. I would imagine any transducer including the tilted elemnet will fit. You may have to mount it slightly offcentre which is what they are designed for. I looked...

Superb pics Brian, Nature is a wonderful thing. Keep on clicking.........or pressing

Redundancy is key.Prepare for Murphy's Law. When something goes wrong usually more will go wrong. I have 2 VHF's, plus a hand held, Charts , a Chartplotter and a GPS, and a separate Sounder as well as the one included in my Chartplotter. Then for emergencies an 465mhz epirb and a ditch bag...

I went with F225's, as at the time F250 would cost $10,000 more and the newer lighter motors hadn't been released. Would make sense to go with lighter more powerful motors tho'. Of course price will be more than leftover F250's.
