    Ring Free Source

    I dont think Andy has it for $12 a quart maybe it is for a 12oz container. The 32oz on Andy's site is 36.99 a quart if you purchase a case. Derby cycle was selling them last winter for $18 a quart until Yamaha caught wind of it. They had sold it at that price for a long time my last order was...

    replacing water intakes/out on hull

    Ever think it could be from the water your anchor line holds when you bring it up or from the water that comes in from the windlass from rain and washing your boat? All that salt water dries in the anchor locker than washes down once the rain water hits it. I would look around real hard before...

    Trim Tab Paint

    When I barrier coated my boat I stripped my tabs and barrier coated them also now I paint them with the same bottom paint as my hull (micron extra) and havent had any growth on them whatsoever. A little slim on the tops but thats it. Also no corrosion issues from the bottom paint. I tried the...

    Yamaha 200 HPDI Problem

    Sounds like VST filters could be clogged . It doesn't take much also check out you low pressure fuel pumps while your at it. They should be changed every few hundred hours just as preventative maintanence not a big expense. Good luck

    Water In Fuel alarm

    What kind of remote water separaters do you have? Are they the ones with the clear bowl and sensor on bttom( racor type) or the blue yamaha ones? If you dont have the ones with the sensor on the bottom than it could just be some corrosion on end of terminals. I'm not talking about bowls under...

    HPDI Issue

    Sounds like a dirty vapor seperator filter. Did you check that also there is a stainless filter right before vst that gets changed also. I had same problem and it would happen only when I got up on plane. Go onto shipyard island marine website and ask Andy. You can go thru the hull truth . Good...

    265 Express

    Hi Tom, Sorry to hear your going to keep your boat for another five years,I was hoping I could take it off your hands sooner than that. Just kidding! The 265 I think is one of grady's best fishing boats that is still affordable. Once you get into the 30 and above its a whole different boat...
