Greetings. I just ordered a Garmin xHd18 radar. Its going on a 2002, 265 express. is it necessary to mount the antenna on a mount, or can I go straight to the roof? this is a trailered boat, so height is a bit of an issue. main question is, will the raised section of the hard top...

greetings. I would like to know the outcome for the first post. -will the group 27 work on the 265? -are agm batteries good for the house batter? thanks, dale

Ramy, mine would not work after the it was filled and powered up. it was a bad heater element. It takes a special type but was only about 30 bucks if i remember correctly. pretty easy to change also. just made a mess because i didn't drain the tank first. now it works good. dale...

My current autopilot is unreliable. getting my autopilot to work at my level of expectation can be more problem and hassle than what is worth. all i want is for a little time away from the helm to get a beverage, or 2, maybe a snack, or take a leak. I'm not asking for anything big like docking...

Yep. 2002, 225s with 600 hours. mine needed it. Sims yamaha sells the complete repair kit for $699.00. Took me about a month of part time work "after work, and weekends" to complete. I spent more than that rebuilding the brakes on the trailer. Now, they are great running and dependable...

Question? I'm just getting started in off shore fishing. should i spend money on a radar, or a satellite receiver with weather radar first?? what is the best investment? or bang for the buck? the boat is a Grady White, 265 express, a Garmin 4212 plotter. thanks Dale

greetings. I have a 02, 265 with new exhausts on 02, f-225s. love the boat. I've done many tweaks. I just added the Bennett trim tab auto trim tab system. You set the tabs at your liking, bow level, and or find a "no-list" or neutral. Then the system monitors this and attempt to keep the...

I had similar problems. I definitive test is; 1. Remove the sending unit. 2. Move the float on the sender up and down slowly to duplicate fuel levels. 3. Watch gauge. I had a dead spot in the middle section of a sender.

Man, that looks great:)

thanks for all the responses. I"m winding down the project. It came out OK. I'm satisfied, but not elated. I post some pics soon. For those of you who have a set of canvas, do you think a set of privacy curtains would be useful? My thoughts are to have privacy at the dock. I've...

CatMarII, There are many variables that make up that decision. First, it depends on the type of policy that you have. If it's ACV or replacement coverage will determine the amount of payout if covered. Also, depends on if its an all-perils policy or partial. Most policies are designed to...

thanks. I'm in the process of making the panels now. Its coming out ok. I didnt have anything to go by except these inputs and pictures. However, so far so good. Does anyone know what the snaps are for on the inside of the window frame? I'll post photos or a video soon. thanks, dale

clockwork, man, that looks sweet from what i can see. can you please post additional photos or send me some to dalenifong@gmail.com I built a plexi front shield for my 265, but your work looks much better. what type of plastic is that? thanks dale

hey, i just replaced both of mine. I called grady. they provided the part numbers and brand names for my boat. it was a pretty easy job and ended up with a new style that looks better. dale
