    Source for Horn Button?

    Has anyone found a source for a replacement for the red rubber horn button that Grady's used to come with? Mine is a little crusty looking and I called GW and got a p/n which turned out to be a rocker switch. Bill

    F225 Exhaust Corrosion Kit

    Saw this posted on THT over the w/e. Apparently Yamaha has decided to offer a kit at cost to repair exhaust corrosion on the F225 4 strokes. Sent the info to my dealer in CT who confirmed with Yamaha that they are doing this but parts may not be available yet. Sounds like this guy got them. Not...

    Replacement Speakers for GW 265

    The original Kenwood speakers in the cockpit are shot on my boat. I'd like a screw-in replacement and am not worried about mega bass or anything like that. Will the current 6.5" Kenwoods fit in the same holes? Anyone done this? Bill

    Perko Masthead Light Flickering

    The Perko light on my 265's hardtop has been flickering on and off. I replaced the bulb to no avail. The socket the bulb plugs into seems loose in the pole and I'm guessing that has something to do with it. Anyone have this issue and successfuly fix it before I start trying things? Thanks, Bill

    Head Pump not sucking in water

    The head on my 265 isn't pulling in water the last couple times we used it. Seacock is open and the lever was flipped over but nothing comes up. It will drain but had to put some freshwater in to rinse it down. Any ideas on this? Bill

    Flushmounting a 12" MFD on a 265

    There was an '04 265 for sale last year at Hobby Lobby Marine in Tom's River NJ that had a C120 flushmounted in the electronics box at the helm. I spoke to the guys there about the boat but never got down there to look at it as the '02 we ended up buying popped up a few weeks later. My '02...

    Lost the prime in my freshwater system

    I drained my freshwater system today till it was just sputtering out then shut the pump off and put 3 gallons of anti freeze in the tank. Can't get it to run thru the faucets so I put another gallon in. Raised and lowered the front end a few times but it still won't pump thru the faucets...

    Gas Cap Safety Chain Replacement

    The gas cap safety chain on the main tank on my 265 is broken. Almost fell in the water when I took it off and it looks like it was jury rigged with some stranded wire that broke. A new cap and chain is $32 from GW but the chain is not available as a separate item. I'm not throwing $32 into a...

    Help with Fuel economy on GW 265 with F225's needed

    I'm buying an '02 Grady 265 with F225's on it. It's in great shape and has low hours and seems like the right boat for us but I had heard that this boat with F225's would get 1.5 - 1.8 mpg. We took it out on Sat and while it seemed to run great the best I could out of it was maybe 1.4 mpg. This...
