I've just replaced my two house batteries with lead acid wet cells of 85amphr each. I have a Cetek charger and as the batteries are in series do i only need to hook up to one for them both to be fully charged?

G'day from Australia, my 265 needs new fabric on the bolsters and I would like someone to help source the material and i will obviously reimburse them for their time and expense. I have tried several times via email etc to get fabric from the US; direct thru dealers and a fabric warehouse but...

G'day everyone, I have been chasing the plastic slides as well as the top cap for my Helm seat on my 265. I have tried acouple of dealers with no success. I would also like to get some of the chalk material for my cockpit bolsters. It's a big ask but i need someone in the US who has easy ready...

Whilst I don't have experience with your boat ; I wonder if the combination of extra weight forward or back combined with the short steep aft quartering seas could have lifted the stern and caused the prop slip. I guess most of us have experienced a certain extreme sea states where you would...

Hi guys and girls, my helm seat has worn out the plastic surrounds on the sliders. So it rocks incessantly! I have checked here in OZ and there doesn't appear to be anything that'll do the job. Where should I look in the U.S.?

I have seen pics of the vessel Wahoo an inboard Grady with shaft and tunnel. Can anyone tell me more about these boats ? looks like they were ahead of their time. That could sell really well in Australia.

We went back to the Hinchinbrook Island area for our Chritmas this year, sharing a holiday unit with the outlaws called Ripples. Awesome part of the world and great accomodation. Tanami is still running in the F225's with about 60 hrs on them now. Still undecided about my 4 blade props, but...

Hope you are all enjoying better weather on your Australia Day. The recent cyclones that went by have left us with lots of rain and some minor flooding. Nothing to complain about except that I had planned on a nice day over at Maggie Island on Tanami. Ah well the damper and Golden syrup in...

Wishing all my Grady friends a peaceful and relaxing Festive Season with a brilliant 2010 to get our economies moving again. Thanks for you suggestions and ideas over the year. Haydn and Family

I use my boat at least once a month and sometimes much more often. I have an alloy All American Trailer with Kodiak brakes etc. It is 2 years old and I just had to replace all bearings, Pads, and have the rotors machined. We live in the tropics with very, saline water and of course lots of...

Does anyone have a line on reasonably priced groco macerators? I removed mine today and after reading all of the posts I have decided to replace it. I tried to get it going on the bench but it was not at all succesful and everything looks pretty dodgy. Given how hard it is to remove and...

The red and white light above my helm which also controls the deck lights has been acting up and I'm interested in replacing it . Is the identical unit available from a marine internet outlet? thanks

when i press the head pumpout button the circuit breaker ( custom mod) trips. Where would you, or most likely me, start to look? I believe the holding tank is under the helm position. Is there a pump there also? And what should I be looking for ? cheers and thanks for your help.

I have finally made the decision to buy new F225's for my 265. As i have never had brand new outboards before I was wondering what the recomendations are for running them in correctly.My understanding is that the dealer runs them in a tank for 2 hours prioir to delivery and then he is saying...
