Looks like all the heavy loads are on the Port bank. Windlass, thruster, power assist pump. They will run batteries down quickly if the port motor isn't running and charging. Assuming you are running the motors when using these.. I would check the port motor to see if it is charging

define "Electronics" VHF(s), MFD(s), sonar, radar? How many batteries? No 2500w stereo? No refrigerator? No AC? No pumps running? No Lights? generally, the "port battery" only starts the port engine and runs one bilge pump and maybe the stereo memory. Generally, the House runs on the stbd...

heheh East coast...twice a day.... That slip looks like its for a 17 whaler or a Carolina skiff I don't think I would do that with a 28 ft deepV. You will topple over and your water inlets will mud up.

Hoping is not an action plan;) There is a 6" piehole over each end of the tank. Look at it. I think you should remove whatever deck piece is covering the tank and inspect. Its just screws and silicone. Not rocket science.

there is just enough room for an R3 in the "pocket". It has to be bumped right up to the bend up on the rear of the tab. I don't use the trim tabs and dont really care about them but I think having more zinc in the water can't hurt. FYI, the R3 pair has a nut imbedded in one side and just a...

Mine have a zinc R3 on them. Like others, I started using 1/2 the set on each tab.(mount on top) They always get eaten up. For some reason they always come loose and spin by the end of they season. They only have one screw in the center. I think Im goign to drill another hole and use a bar with...

Yes they did that on some models/years. It gives you a flat spot so you don't have to use the plastic fairing and you don't have to cut the angle.

I have a 2000 265 also. I do the fishing you described. A lot of it... I have a GarminGT51M side/down scan thru hull mounted between the water inlets. I replaced a B744 that was there. Its works WAY better at speed than the Transom mount GT21 that I had before. But the Transom Mount was very...

If it has SW washdown and /or a livewell then it has one or two holes with bronze (or plastic) strainers in the bottom of the boat near the stern. The valve(s) are connected to the strainer inside the boat. If you can't see them thru pieholes then you need to unscrew the deck and cut the...

that might be why you have no water. It's going to be in the deck at the stern of the boat. Is the boat in the water? If the boat is in the water, don't open the valve. Get it on a trailer and check things out. Often Grady put a 6" piehole for access to valves. Often there was a knob with...

looking back at your picture. Looks like a 2" hole. You probably had a B744 with the speed paddle wheel. The new B765 and B785 models will fit the hole. Shortens your project....

follow the hose from the inlet valve

I just sent my LONG OVERDUE donation using PayPal. THANK YOU for the site!

I think ideally you should have a sidescan xducer on the transom for bottom fishing and use a B175HW for trolling /drifting for stripers & tuna. A B175HW alone is not going to be good for bottom fishing. you plan on blackfishing and fluking. Get a sidescan xducer.

I put a big Tempress hatch in it. Big enough to get my elbows in. deck gets screwed and sealed. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/265-mods.25902/post-157519 IMO the deck should be sealed. All water runs to stern and your bilge pump will constantly have to deal with water that should have...

Why SS75 and not B75? You have bottom paint. 265 not really a trailer boat. The position is not a problem. Yours seems unusual position. Often they are between the inlets, right on the centerline. You need to measure the existing hole. Different Airmar ducers have different cutout...

I'm not able to look at mine for a few months but.. If you are "Navigating to a waypoint" and Engaging the autopilot in that mode, then you need to "Restart Navigation"(I think thats the phrase they use) That will recalculate the course as a strait line from where you are. Otherwise its trying...

The inside cracks by themselves are nothing. That gel goat always cracks The outside crack in the corner is not unusual. The gelcoat tends to get spider cracks from 90 deg corners. The resin in the bolt holes indicates someone had the motor off and may have been trying to fix something or just...
