    Fuse panel location on 330?

    Maddening. The manual says fuses are accessed through a 4 " plate in the head. I cannot find this panel... which makes me feel like an idiot since the head is not exactly a palace. Any suggestions as to alternate locations for the fuse panel? Trying to test live well fuse. Thanks folks.

    Transducer placement on your Grady 330?

    Currently my boat has a transom mount transducer -- but I am planning to upgrade anyways. Grady recommended a shoot-through transducer first, and a transom mount second. Can anyone provide practical examples of your transducer experience on the 330? Thanks!

    Quality replacement windlass options for 2004 Grady 330?

    Hello to all. New Grady owner here; new to the forum. Wondering if anyone can share experiences about replacing the windlass on a mid 2000s 330 Express. It previously had a Lewmar 700 Horizontal windlass. It needs replacing. In my research, no one seems to like the Lewmars. Reviews are...
