My outrigger poles were not rigged when I bought the boat, so I'm looking to put new rigging on them. I noticed it's missing a couple of the guides. Anyone have a source for a replacement or recommendation for new ones? Thanks

Left the dock at 5:30, ran out to the 125.10 x 45.50 line, dropped our trolling gear and got our first one after about 20 minutes. Trolled SW, singles, doubles, and a couple of triples on the troll. Would pick up a couple on the jig, but could never get a full jig stop going. Most of the troll...

Looking to see what crab pot pullers people are using and maybe pics on how you have it set up. I looked at the scotty puller that goes on the downrigger mount, but seems like the reach isn't very much. I like the Ace Line Brutus puller, it can also go on the scotty downrigger mount. Thanks

Probably common sense, but figured I'd post this as a reminder. If you are inspecting your drain hoses, don't trust just looking at the tops of them like I did. Get a mirror or remote camera and look at the undersides. A month or so ago, I was going to replace mine, but after I cut out the...

I'm replacing the deck drain hoses on my 265, also going to be adding a high water alarm. I'm thinking of adding a backup aft bilge pump, but wondering where a good place to mount it? I was maybe thinking of the platform where the oil tanks used to be, but wondering if that would be to high? Or...

I know it's a lot to ask, but don't hype up or lie when trying to sell something. "The trailer was just serviced" he said! Or maybe his idea of being "serviced" is pumping grease into the axles. 3 of the 4 brakes had NO inner pad. The one remaining inside pad and all the outside ones were just...

Not that these Clubs get a lot of action or traffic, but wondering if there needs to be 2 separate clubs for the West coast. Maybe a "Pacific NW Grady White Club" and a "California Grady White Club". Maybe even break Cali down to a Northern and Southern? Seems like there are multiple for the...

Well, finally got the 265 out in the ocean yesterday for some halibut fishing. The ride is definitely smoother than my aluminum Northriver that I owned previously from a sea chop standpoint. Looking for some input from other 265 owners. The boat is definitely very sensitive to weight...

I changed my fuel filters today. Afterwards went to start them, starboard started just fine, port side is giving me the low voltage warning and reading 0 volts on the SMG4. Checked voltages at all batteries, all reading 12.8v. Any ideas? 2022 DF200APX

Being this is my first Grady and first boat with flush mount rod holders. All of my rods are straight butt ends. Been trying to find a bent butt adapter to put on the end of the rod, or maybe i need to look at changing the aft gunnel flush mount to a higher degree one, so the rods tips aren't...

Been working on compounding and polishing my 265. What are people using to get into some of the tight spaces, like around the outriggers and tower anchor points? Been looking at some of the mini da polishers, with maybe a 2" or 3" backer Thanks

Haven't had much luck in searching, but looking to see if any other 265 owners have replaced their holding tank/toilet hoses? Been getting a pretty bad smell coming from the head. I haven't done any treatment to it yet, thats on the list this weekend. I imagine they are probably original and...

So when I had the boat out doing the break-in, was getting familiar with stuff on the boat, since this was one of the first real runs I've had in it. When operating the washdown, it would come on and spray water for 30 sec to 1 min, then stop working. Turned off the switch, came back to it a...

Got the 265 out yesterday for the break-in of the new Zukes. Ran it for about 4 hours, ran perfect. Total of about 40 miles total, and burned 24g of fuel. I also tried my hand at sewing and recovered the coaming pads and seats, with new foam as well. Only ones I haven't done yet is the...

Was looking at the boat sitting on the trailer, to me it looks like it might be sitting back a bit to far. Where should the bunks be in relation to the trim tabs? Up to the leading edge, or right underneath them?

My 265 has the flood lights on each side of the tower, but there are also a couple of lights in the lower panels. I haven't been able to figure out how to turn those on. The bulbs appear to be ok. Is there a switch I'm not seeing or are they supposed to come on when I turn on the upper flood...

My 265 didn't come with an anchor or rode. What are other 265 owners using for theirs? As I've mentioned before, I'm in the Pacific NW and coming from an aluminum boat that was a manual pull anchor. The typical "Columbia River Anchor" setup was with an anchor ball and a break away setup...

2000 265 wiper mechanism, not the motor, but the part on the outside of the boat. Anyone know if that is a somewhat generic part or grady specific?

Well, they are making progress in the repower. Wiring, gauges, and binnacle are all complete. Hopefully will be hanging the engines tomorrow. Need to thank Skunk as I took most of his gauge placement from his repower. With the trim tab switch next to the ignition key.

Starting to build my network, was curious if you can connect two 4-way NMEA connectors directly together? Tried google searching, but havent found anything with my searches If so, I assume just make the power connection in one of the center 2 ports? Thanks
