refridge I fish the southern coast of Maine. Sometimes I have the engines off, but my fishfinder, chartplotter, radar (on foggy days) and livewell going all day. If I have all this equipment on, I usually shut the refridge off. As mentioned above, it still stays pretty cold all day if I am not...

Refridge I had the dealer wire my fridge on my 265 express to the spare acc switch on the panel near the helm. This works well for me, since I am able to keep the fridge on while underway to my fishing spots. Once I reach my spot and shut the engines off, I can easily shut the refridge off from...

Headliner Cracks I have a 2002 265 Grady. Last spring (2008), for the first time, I noticed several large cracks on my headliner. Was told by dealer that Grady-White had a bad resin mix around the year that my boat was built. Grady-White instructed the dealer on how to repair the headliner...

I agree Grady White is the best. I own a 2002 265 Express. In the summer of 2005 I dropped a 16 oz weight on my livewell hatch cover and chipped the side of the cover. Asked my dealer to repair the chip (at my cost of course). They decided to call Grady and Grady responded by giving me a new...

Hi guys, I was skimming thru the posts and noticed your mention of Ron Dearborn. I agree with everything you mentioned. When I first got into boating in 1998 I met Ron when I saw a listing for a used 22 foot Grady he had a Port Harbor. My family ended up going with a 23 Gulfstream instead...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Gman22--I pulled out the work order and took another look at it. The labor cost was $595 and it stated that they did a "500 hour check on engines" which included checking valve clearance, timing chain and sprockets, timing chain tensioners and timing belt, and...

Hi Everyone, I am a relatively new member and want to thank everyone for their helpful and informative assistance. I have twin Yamaha 225 4 strokes (2002 model year). The Yamaha manual stated that at 500 hrs do an inspection / replacement of the timing belt, belt tensioners, timing chain...

Thanks for the great tips!

thanks Gradyfish22 I have twin F225 four strokes and the scuppers at the stern is about 1/3 to 1/2 below the waterline on my 2002 model year Express. Across the marina, a friend has a 2004 express and his scuppers are higher. (I read on other posts that the hull was redesigned or the scuppers...

When I first bought the boat, I brought up the poor draining issue with the Grady Dealership. He confirmed there was a droop in the hose and had it shortened, but this did not resolve the issue. I have to literally climb in sometimes to clean the well out and use lots of simple green. If I don't...

I own a 2002 265 Express and love the boat! One issue that has bothered me from the day I bought the boat is the large fish well behind the helm chair. Whenever I try cleaning the well after a day of fishing, I always have a hard time. The drain hole drains very slowly and I can never drain it...
