    Yes

    I am ashamed to say but I dont clip my windless anchor - My doesnt roll right off as mentioned, but when I know I am going to anchor I just bump the switch and the next wave I hit it drops down four to six inches and is ready to drop- Tim

    Thru Hull leaking even though it is closed. Ideas?

    I assume that you mean the valve threaded onto the thru hull is leaking when fully closed - That is am important valve, and you may want to replace it if it leaking. Tim

    Fridge not working

    I have a 12V only (no 110) fridge in my 2000 Grady 265 Express- This season I turned the fridge on and it worked for a few minutes and then just beeped - According a sticker on the inside door it will beep if cabin temp is above 110 degrees- I am positive it is not even close...

    265 Express bow diving

    It is worth mentioning that it takes a little behind the wheel- Some boats use the trim tabs to lift the back of the boat out of the water - or to help plan faster- Not the 265- also the trim tabs are large and only require a slight tap on the trim button to level her out -

    need help please

    Not sure if this will help - but a 28' HydraSport was repowered with twin 250 suzuki's at my old marina - the owner kept bringing it back saying it drove funny - They swapped the lower units (Basically switching which side is countering rotating) and the guy has been happy since! Tim

    265 Express bow diving

    This may be a sales tactic here- My 2000 is great in many seas and in my opinion, handles pretty darn good for a 26' boat - better than any other I have been on bar the slow moving loberstyle- Were are located? I bet you could set up a ride on one with someone from the site! Tim

    99 225 Yamaha OX66 Lower Unit Oil

    This is some really good advice here! I would not add ANY fuel to that boat until these were installed - When I switched to E10 I went thru three of these filter is less than 10 hours of run time! I honestly believe that if that gunk made it into my motors I would of lost one! Tim
