My thought is that its generally better to remove the lid and repair from the bottom. That leaves the top "deck" gelcoat intact. All your work is hidden. You don't have to paint or re-gelcoat. If the deck side has already been painted then it doesn't matter.

https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/new-battery-config-for-265.25744/ If you haven't read this thread, please do. My 2000 265 had two banks using three 24dual purpose batteries. two on stbd side were house/stbd start and one on port side was port start. I switched to three banks with 4...

I think you've seen the threads linked below. There is nothing more inherently awful than a toilet on a small boat. I went 24 years without one and only once had to shittinabucket. My crew now requires a functioning head. So I went for it and fixed the pump and the freshwater so they can wash...

You come from BI so you don't cross them. Go North from Princess into 180-200 ft and you will find miles of Glory pots to east and west They have small flags. They are close together and its hard to decide which pot to go to next. There is a slight gap and then they run NW in the Mudhole (west...

Did you try the pots for Mahi?

My grady had all three grounds for Bilge pumps and Memory spliced to a single larger black wire with a ring terminal to to -12V of the house battery. This was even though the Fwd bilge and Memory +12V are fed from the "2" post of the battery switch.

Fished the Pt Pleasant Elk's Fluke tournament Saturday. Our best was 22", so no win for us. Had a great time in not so great afternoon conditions. We got fish on Klondike rocks and at Sea Girt reef. We also got our 4 seabass limit and there are some very nice one's still around...

I'm hearing that the Virginia has Yellowfin. Also, according to ch 65, somewhere close like Mud hole there are big bluefin stretching lines out.

Florida Edition: Took a trip to Sebastian for red snapper season. We only managed to boat one during the two day season. My grand nephew got a nice one. I got sharked halfway up. Couple break offs. My brother got a nice red grouper. We boated half mahi. Lost a few more. Lost a big...

Looks like balsa core? Cut out any bad wood from the under side. Look at anywhere where there was a screw going into or thru. If there is a lot of bad wood you can remove all wood and replace with foam core (nidacore, hexcell, divynil foam) Ditch the carpet for godsake! reglass and fair and...

Grady e box is usually fed with 10 awg. It runs lights/spreader lights( get LED spreaders!!!) /VHF/ maybe an MFD IMO you should run the radar power to down to the main terminal blocks with with the provided cable and inline fuse. I'm assuming your 22 has +/- terminal blocks that feed a fuse...

Been said before but…. Raise your tabs and pull the fuse If motors are down too far while on plane you will fall over. ALWAYS Start fully down . Raise the motors while getting on plane You single button for motor trim may not be raising both the same Adjust motors toe in about 1/2”. (...

Fourth of July we had nice trip out 3.5 miles straight out of Manasquan Inlet to a fluke spot that I always try first We caught 4 keepers and lost zero rigs! Burned no gas. Love that spot when it pays off. Saturday went long to a spot past triple wrecks 70 miles out of manasquan. Found...

Ya. I have way too much. I used to have a small toolbox with no trays and everything piled in it. Got aggravated with that so now I have a three drawer toolbox that has way too many tools in it . heavy as hell. Keeps accumulating more and more when I’m working on the boat over the winter I...
