    Gas prices

    Unfortunatly the price of fuel will be most likely based upon near future demand. Once the kids are out of the schools and parents as well as those that vacation begin their travels, the price will increase. To the poster that mentioned storing up...you can only keep it for so long, even if you...

    265 Express Toilet/Head Choice

    I have probably the only 265 that came out of Grady sans an installed toilet. Grady told me that the unit that they installed back in the day for my year model was the 290 compact unit made by Jabsco. Since we really never overnite nor use the shower, could the larger standard Jabsco manual unt...

    2006 sailfish 282

    I have a 2001 265 and also have a few of these cracks in the headliner plastic. I have talked with many that had them repaired while under warranty. But since mine were out, Grady wouldn't step foward despite the fact that this was a pretty commom problem on their larger models. The repair is...

    265 Express Need Help With Measurement

    Wanting to put an amp for stereo in the cuddy. If I had a rough length between the drop down gate and the cuddy door I could roughly figure out how much lead I need to wire it. Thinking I will run it on the Port side and mount the amp on the cuddy bulkhead between the helm area and cuddy (cuddy...

    Where can I buy Grady Color starboard or similar

    The starboard color is called seafoam. Piedmont Plastics is a large supplier of both pieces and whole sheets. There are offices both in columbia SC and Greenville SC as well as many other losations. Gotta love the 265!!!

    330 Express does not track well

    Like Off The Hook said. Raise the bow up more when you attain "on plane". Sounds like a bow steering issue.

    265 Express Autopilot Pump Location

    drbatts we had similar problems over the years. Had the 3000x box under the foward berth and a window leaked in the cuddy. Of course the water went through the cushion and through the hatch cover under the cushion. Sent is back to Simrad and they sent it back repaired at no charge. Tech said the...

    265 Express Autopilot Pump Location

    Eppem, we had all the pieces parts of a Robertson AP 11, 3000x had the most recent chip and also had a new dash head unit. Only part needed was the linear feedback so we got a new smartstick. 250.00 vs 3 or 4 grand. Might not be the most tech advanced unit but the parts are pretty much still...

    265 Express Autopilot Pump Location

    Installing Robertson autopilot on our 2001 265 Express. Debating where to locate the pump. Don't want it in the bilge due to dampness. Thought about behind the starboard tackle locker below the cockpit sink but hose run would be kinda long to the helm. Also found a small spot just to starboard...

    330 Express F350s props

    X 2 Previous post. I have twins on a 265 Express. Changed from Mirage Plus 3 blade to 4 blade Rev 4's. Close quarter docking and manuverability much improved. Biggest asset was the ventilation in rough seas is gone. When old props broke free it meant starting all over to get up on plane and...

    New Here .... 265 questions

    Was in Lowes today and saw some small window A/C units on sale. Reminded me of dale1 post above using a window unit where the two drawer unit is on the 265. What were the minor modifications. I assume a condensate tray and drain as well as enough support under it? Really a clever idea for...
