I have not but have considered the same upgrade. I like having the fridge as I can keep cold beer and water on the boat all of the time and it's one less thing to haul to the marina but have not gotten so far as to buy a replacement unit. If I was to do it I'd likely tap into AC power at the...

I haven't, but I've been contemplating one of these for my 2005 265, not a complete head replacement but a Jabsco manual to electric conversion kit that should be pretty much a direct replacement for the manual pump I have now, it's either that or a rebuild kit as I'm getting flow back up into...

I did the y-valve and external macerator on my 265 based on Max366's original thread. It's not the most convenient thing in the world if you need to switch back and forth as you've got to open the access hatch under the starboard seat after moving everything out of the way but like most others...

As seen in my profile pic I fly a 2’x3’' from the rocket launcher. If only flying the ensign it goes in the middle holder which is centerline on my boat, if flying in company with another flag the US flag goes to the starboard and the other to port. If in a parade with a bunch of flags the US...

X3 on Battery Minder. Got a bunch and have been using them on everything but the Grady for years with no issues. Northern Tool will periodically have them on sale and I got mine for something like $25-$30 each. The boat batteries stay on the boat when I bring it home for the winter, I plug in...

I've been looking to do this on my 265 and if I could have figured out how to access the hydraulic lines to add the sensor rods to the rams I'd have done it (or tried to do it) already. However, in past conversations with my local GW dealer I've learned that the rams on my boat are custom from...

Before and after. Extra fiberglass cut out and the threaded inserts for the starboard panel installed. Panel with an AxiomPro 12 and an Axiom 12. Very happy with it but if I was doing it again I’d go with black starboard. Hadn’t planned on the carbon fiber sheet initially so I went with the...

New hinges would likely help but they can only do so much while the boat is bouncing around. My overhead boxes also had a small length of heavy clear flexible plastic with the same style twist-clip that the curtain roll ups had that was used to hold the door open. The Southco C-6 series of...

It is. I take them off when it starts to warm up and store them during the summer months.

I’ve got it stored up in the rafters of the barn right now but if I get it pulled down to rebuild I’ll get you some pictures.

Don't disagree with anything already mentioned but seconding the suggestion for brakes on all axles and an electric over hydraulic controller that integrates with your tow vehicle. Boat came with a triple axle which I like for hauling down the interstate, less so when I have to make tight turns...

I built a frame with various options for hanging. The 3 front pieces that have open grommets get hung by them from small nails. The others that only have snaps currently hang over lengths of lumber covered with foam pipe insulation. It works but is a fairly bulky arrangement and I think when...

Don't recall just what model it was that I added but they were sailing pulleys from WM and made a HUGE difference in how those lines worked. I also added a short rigger line, as it appears you did, but I only ran mine out to the midway guide eye, would be the one inboard of yours and also added...

Bunks have an angle across the top, delta between the outside height and inside height is a 1/2" across a 3" width so that, I think, comes out to something more like 10 degrees but my crossmember angle may also be different. The small forward pair are in contact with the bow when loaded as are...

Congrats on the 265! Here's a couple shots of the trailer I use for my 2005 265. Those outer bunks are 14 feet long and do extend a little past the stern while the forward foot or so has no contact, might be a little oversized but that's what came with the trailer. The inner ones are 6 feet...

Following as I have this happen all the time. I'm guessing that it's residual fluid in the line that seeps back into the bowl after pumping it 'dry'. Curious to see if others have solved this problem.

Agree with the above, match it to your primary MFD and overall operation and integration will just be easier. Had a Simrad paired with a Lowrance Hds previously, now all Raymarine and happy with both. Calibration on the Raymarine was easy - essentially go out and do a big circle, there's a...

Denali HD with the 6.6 Duramax hauling my 265 with disc brakes on all 3 axles driven by an integrated electric over hydraulic controller, starts and stops great.

Skunk, any pictures of how you situated the dual batteries in those compartments? As I'm in a slip on shore power I rarely switch them off so that part wasn't an issue for me though I'd thought of going to a similar setup for quite a while as I like the idea of an isolated house bank. But...

I went all Raymarine this past off-season. Axiom Pro 12 and an Axiom 12, 3D RealVision and a dual band CHIRP, Quantum2 doppler radar, autopilot, networking, etc. Very happy with everything and find the displays to be pretty intuitive and easy to use. I don't use the 3D sonar much (looks cool...
