    New model Freedom 415

    Interesting that it is a new hull length, and quad 425's in the video which makes it seem like it was shot a while ago. Time to speculate whether(if) they come out with a 45 express (off of the Canyon 456 hull) or a 41 (express) off of this hull next. Given that they just refreshed the Canyon...

    Canyon 336 with twin 300 performance

    You're welcome. I get it, was in same situation and its not a good feeling to think I was going to destroy a boat I loved by underpowering. What finally sold me was the dealer's point to me that they sold the hull with twin 225s for years on the express 330, so you will be fine (just search...

    Canyon 336 with twin 300 performance

    Completely satisfied. Did it this fall and admittedly was super nervous; 2011 hull with the A versions of the F350s; so if Yamaha, 300s were only option Went to all digital - f300nsb2s that have some of the xto features. Only ran to 20hr service : maybe lost .5mph off top end, but 15-20%...

    Missing cup holder drain tubing

    As other noted the tubing (mine is 3/8”) just connects from the cupholders to “impact drains” (west marine etc. sells them, 3/8” by 1-1/2” is what I needed) that allow water to drain onto the deck then out the scuppers. As for accessibility, the helm cup holder tubing and drains can be...

    Name placement - transom or side?

    The reason boats display name and hailing port is it a federal requirement for all federal documented vessels (all documented vessels must have a name). The USCG National Vessel Documentation Center handles such registation. Commercial documented vessels must have the name on the port and...

    Reupholstering all seats and coaming bolsters

    Bumping this old thread to thank this poster for putting them on my radar. McCoy's just redid all of my vinyl on a Canyon 336 (3 helm chairs, all bolsters, back fold down bench, all cushions) and everything looks and feels better than new. Took less than two weeks. Great people (run by Sean...

    Shore power electrical panel Reverse Polarity

    I had this issue on a 2011 canyon last year. Marina checked their pedestal and was ok and prior year I had had no issue. The shorepower receptacle and galvanic isolator both looked to be in a bit of rough shape, so I just replaced those figuring regardless of the ultimate resolution it was...

    Seat slide stuck on 2013 Canyon

    So I finally dismantled my seats this weekend and it was a pain. As others posted, at least for the 2011 canyon, there are actually just 4 bolts from each seat that attached to the slider mechanism, and then 4 bolts that attach the slider mechanism to the boat (some if those nuts are very...

    Seat slide stuck on 2013 Canyon

    Any luck with this yet? I'll be working on the same issue on a 2011 Canyon 336 in order to reupholster the seats this winter. I have the Garelick eez-in slide mounts, Patent No: 6,460,818. Two of the three slides are stuck all the way back. I've tried intermittently/casually over the season...
