Had the same leak, its coming from the forward hatch. Best plan is to remove it, dig out the old rubberized seal. Then clean the frame really well with acetone, and lay it back in the opening. Use masking tape to tape off around the perimeter of the frame. From here, use a good non-permanent...

I’ll post a picture tomorrow. In regards to the screws, I’m talking about the three fasteners that secure the actuator not the hinge fasteners for the actual tab.

I want to rebed the actuator mounting fasteners on my tabs, but was curious if they are screwed directly into the transom, or through bolted? If they are through bolted, seems like its going to be a pain to catch the other side... One other question, anybody have any issues with the tabs not...

I sent you a PM

Not sure if you ended up deciding on a solution for this, but I actually have a swim platform I removed from my 265 that I would be willing to sell if you are interested. I will send you some pictures.

Thanks guys for the info. I have some PVC supports for supporting snow weight that I used on my 244 Explorer. I was doing the Harbor Freight tarp thing for 6 years on that boat, and frankly got a bit tired of replacing it every 6-8 months even though they were cheap. I have found some tarp...

Trying to order a decent boat cover for the 265 I will be bringing home this Saturday. I have been looking around at boatcoversdirect.com and some of the other online retail outlets. I have found that many do not have the 265 listed for their semi-custom or custom boat covers. When redirected to...

Figured out that the angle of my trailer cross members are about 6 degrees, so to match a 20-21 degree deadrise, it looks like I will have to have the top of the bunk board cut at 15 degrees give or take a degree.

Are the outer bunks just a rectangular profile, or do they have a trapezoidal angle cut at the top? I cant tell in the pictures. I have been having trouble sourcing bunk material in 3 x 10 like most of the trailer manufacturers use. I found a saw mill that can get me Douglas fir in those...

Thanks so much for posting those pictures guys. Really was struggling here trying to find information online and through countless calls today. These really help!

So I received the spec sheet. Its attached below in case anyone needs it. What is does not tell me is the ideal length of the bunks. Going to give load-rite a call and see what they say for the size trailer I am working with. To clarify this, I had bought a really nice Load-rite Elite...

Thanks!, just gave them a call and they should be sending it over. I will post back here if I still need help.

Just put a deposit down on a 2000 265 Express this weekend somewhat unexpectedly, as I had gone to look at a another boat, and the dealer happened to have a 265 on the lot that needed some things. Long story short, the 265 was a good deal and am moving forward with it. However, I need to...

I am currently moving up from a 244 Explorer (will be posted for sale here soon) to a larger Grady. The 268 Islander has crossed my mind but concerned that it really is not that much of a "step-up" from my current hull. I was curious what the actual running surface length or waterline length on...

My buddy has one. With a closed array radome on a tandem axle roller trailer you are looking about 13'.

My old g1 200HO would turn a 15 pitch Rebel to 5450 rpm at around 32-33 knots. In the slop it used to struggle turning that prop to stay on plane below like 21-22 knots , so I had switched to a Cyclone 15 pitch 4 blade and had slightly better hole shot and it would turn 5650 with the same load...

Well, ran my 15.75 x 15 Rebel yesterday. Ran 160 nm and got 2.4 nm/g combined for the trip, including 50 miles of some sloppy seas. The issue did not show up with the Rebel, so I am glad it is just related to the RX4. The G2 turns the Rebel much better than my G1 200HO did. Glad I had not sold...

Thanks for the thorough reply. I am at the proper motor height as the next bolt hole up the prop was ventilating very badly with anything beyond being trimmed down all the way, and ventilating badly in turns as well. I was hoping someone posting back saying it was a prop issue, because what was...
