Thanks, I checked them out and one hinge looks promising but their drawing system doesn't show the hole-to-hole dimensions. I'm contacting them directly.

Resurrecting an old blog. Has anyone figured out which hinge to use that will line up with the holes in the bifold hatch? I checked the spacing for the holes and the side to side dimension for each side of the hinge is 1 inch and the dimension across the 2 parts of the hinge is 15/16. The...

I used the damp-rid as well in the past but it gets saturated very quickly and is then ineffective. I don't go to the boat very often in the winter so I stopped using it. I tried the packets that emit chlorine dioxide in the cockpit after it was shrink wrapped but the bottom of the hardtop was...

I checked my scupper hoses on my 2004 265 and as others have observed, the hoses are cracked with rust stains. The bottoms feel intact and the hoses don't appear to be leaking, but I'm concerned because I couldn't check the entire length of the hoses. I'm thinking of sealing the inside of the...

I tried spraying Wet & Forget in my cabin in the fall 2 years ago and the results were great- no signs of mildew anywhere after a long winter. Before using the treatment, I would have to scrub the inside of the cabin and in some cases use diluted bleach. No more! I tried applying W&F to the...

There are thin epoxy coated Nd magnets on Amazon with a countersunk hole. I'm thinking of riveting the magnet to the loop where the snap was placed and screwing the other magnet to the deck where the snap mate was screwed. There are some as small as 1/2 inch diameter, then 0.63" diameter, and...

As I recall, they can self prime because as the vanes rotate, they expel air from each vane "segment", causing a slight loss of air in the inlet hose. The end of the vanes close clear the housing. Since there are multiple vane segments rotating pretty fast, the total amount of air removed from...

Thanks, I'll check it out the area to mount the zinc after the shrink is off- hopefully in a month or so! I wonder if a screw and zip tie would work - the tie would go over the end of the tab and could be tightened as the screw hole enlarges. Or maybe use water resistant double sided tape with...

Skunk- you mentioned you mount these on top of the tab - is there enough clearance between the tab to the bottom for a top mount? I think my tabs are flush with the hull when fully retracted.

I have an '04 with F225s and the starting battery and house battery on the starboard side, just the starting battery on the port. The starboard side has a slight list from the extra battery. One house battery has been sufficient for my needs. WRT the transducer, I installed an Airmar B20...

That was the worst part of the project- limited access and long reaches while pressing against an opening!

I installed twin 12" Raymarine Axiom units a few years ago on my '04 265 and used a starboard panel that matches the Grady color from Fin-Addict in NC. I sent them a template of the panel without the cutouts for the displays. I recall the price was reasonable- maybe $90. They might let you...

Sorry for the delayed response- I've been away. Looks like others answered you but from what I recall, it's straightforward to remove the whole armrest bracket - it's bolted on so the length of the bolts may need to be shortened.

Looks great - how does the off-white match with the Grady fabric?

$100 cash and that included removing the frame from the aluminum. Seems like a fair price for the great work
