    My 03 came from the factory with Dekka batteries - when I bought it in 06 I called GW. They said that the West Marine Batteries were made by Dekka. I replace every 3 years with no issues.

    2002 Grady White Marlin Head System

    Sailfish Head

    When the manual head on our 2003 265 "crapped" out we just replaced the whole unit. Wasn't much more expensive that the replacement parts for the pump and super easy to install.
