Yeah, I agree that it doesn't make sense. The batteries would not turn off. I left the lights on and noticed when I got in my truck. I got back in the boat and turned the battery switches in every direction (1,2,both,off) but the lights would not go off. I turned them off at the switch. I...

So today as I was leaving the boat I noticed that neither of my two battery switches would turn off. I know That they have worked in the past. The only difference today was that I replaced 5 blown fuses. I didn’t have time to remove the batteries to get to the switches so I’ll go back later...

Man, I just purchased the Beckson ones like 4 weeks ago. I.m going to grab a few of these for the futur. That’s a freaking deal comparatively speaking

Good call!!!!!

Well I finally finished this project. I did exactly as max366 did. The Groco switch still works so I used it. Not sure on the monitor Portion because there’s nothing in it. Also, I assume that it works because, again, there’s nothing in the tank. this project definitely had some challenges...

I hope to never use the head. I suppose in an emergency I would. It’s more for my wife and daughter. This was the main ask in their contribution to the boat choice. I HAVE to make it work

I was able to replace all of the hoses at the vent loops by cutting the access panel under the starboard storage area larger towards the hull sides. It was not easy but it can be done. I am pretty bruised up. Now, if the vent loops are defective I have no idea because they have several screws...

Another thought is, does the Y need to be screwed down? Can it just float between the three super sturdy hoses? OR would this put stress on the plastic fittings?

Max or anyone who might have ideas, In the diagram that Max posted, how do you get the 1.5” hose from the existing pump out 90 onto the Y valve? In the picture it is the perfect spot to put the Y however bending the hose for that angle in such a short piece is impossible. It’s probably a 3”...

I replaced like for like. It has the wire in it so I guess the same problem will happen again in 20 years. I got it off of Amazon. Its the same hose that I replaced all of the sanitary lines with. 1.5" ID

My head is sitting in my garage right now! The new pump handle assembly will be here Thursday. I think it was $108 on Amazon. I am in the process of doing what Max did here. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/groco-pump-simple-macerator-retrofit-265-express.19049/ The hoses were all pretty...

No, cutting in the shelf only gave access to scupper side. You still need to remove the hatch so that you can get to the deck drain side. For me the starboard side was harder and took 4 hours. The port side I got done in only 3 hours. I have no interest in doing this again to get to 2 hours...

bringging back an old thread. The search function is quite helpful! I have been replacing hoses all over my 265. it has been a pain in the butt. the scuppers were completed and a couple more for the sanitary System (including the external macerator and Y valve add from this site) to be done...

Seriously? What do you mean or can you point me to a thread as to why and what to replace it with? Now that these hoses were so rotten im doing the head and the fuel hoses. Then will be electrical inclusion new electronics.

Just finished the starboard side on this 60 degree February day. We never get that!!! Here is a pic of the shelf in case someone needs to replace their scupper hoses on a 265.

I failed to take a pic of the new shelf in place before putting the batteries back. This sucks because that’s the part that will help the next guy in the future. I’ll definitely snap the pic on the starboard side.

I was able to complete the port side yesterday. Removed the batteries, cut the existing shelf, replaced the two hoses from the deck drains to the scuppers, replaced the shelf with a new one made out of PVC board and replaced the batterie. Pretty straight forward. The only change that I would...

Also another good idea. Thanks

Thank you very much! This is what I plan to do. Just ordered a bunch of parts so hopefully the dry Saturday request comes through.

I’ll warn you that this is going to be a weird one. My scupper hoses are completely dry rotted On my 265. It appears that the only way to attach to the scupper end is to remove the batteries and the shelf. I am just now ordering parts, doing all of the sanitation hoses too, and trying to...
