    265 fuel tank replacement

    My 265 got new tanks just before I bought it. idk the $$$. I think they are from SP tanks in NJ. I'll get pix tomorrow in the boat. Main is 130 and Aux(rear) is 120. They have THREADED KUS sender units not the 5 screw type with the gasket. PAY UP and get the threaded ones. Nothing was cut...

    Suzuki DF200AP maintenance tips

    Here is a picture of the Lower unit anodes. Notice there is a hollow space behind it. That means you can tap it IN on the left side to wiggle it out. Knowing that is gold. DO NOT PRY IT!

    Fuel tank sender gasket

    That surprises me because the 5 hole pattern and hole size is a standard. They make different materials (not all sending units are for FUEL tanks) This is from KUS-USA website.

    282 Sailfish - Water in fuel!?!?

    Where do you get the gas? do you use gas cans or a dolly? Same marina? gas station on the road? The Gradys use Perko fuel fills. Some are vented and some are not. Perko has 2 sizes of o-rings for the different deck fills the fatter ones are for vented

    ACR PLB vs InReach Mini

    I have an ACR PLB that I got when I was sometimes running my 20' wellcraft offshore. It is the best low cost choice. When I got the Grady 265 I started doing overnights in the canyons. I got an EPIRB. After a few seasons it became clear that an INReach would be very useful. I got an...

    finding birds on radar

    I did say a 4' array would do a better job finding birds. (If sea conditions allow) It will have more resolution. Very few gradys have towers and very often even large boats, with tall towers, place the 4' array on the first level hardtop anyways. These radars are not stabilized. If you put...

    12V Feed For 2000 Seafarer E-Box?

    Typical grady wiring is like this... It usually comes down the stbd side rear post of the hardtop. Often there is a molex plug there. This connects the hardtop harness to the hull harness. The red & black 10 awg is usually fed from distribution terminal buses under the helm. Not fused. It is...

    Center rod holder 232 Gulfstream

    So your pic doesn't show the fwd Grady rodholders but I assume they are 30Deg and angled back 45deg (30 on a 45) So to fit one between the originals, the Gemlux diagram doesn't help you much. Your "30 on a 45" is already Forward of their 30 on a 45. You have a choice. you can put in a 15 on...

    Center rod holder 232 Gulfstream

    You could probably get a straight back 30 behind the cupholder or replace the cupholder with a rodholder/cupholder. You can connect a drain line out to the deck or down into the bilge so it does not drip on things below. Gemlux.com makes very nice "screwless" Bluewater rodholders. You pay a...

    finding birds on radar

    It has everthing to do with it. The earth is not flat. Radar does not curve. Adding a 4' array on a hardtop that is 10 feet off the water isn't going to get you any more distance than an 18". yes maybe you will see the tops of some very large steel ships out over the horizon....or some...

    finding birds on radar

    It has been my experience (with my 24" dome Garmin) that unless it is glassy flat calm seas, you will find birds easier with your eyes than with the radar. The radar has to have the gain turned way up and the sea clutter(noise) rejection turned off. In close of 1 mile will be a mess but of...
