    Freshwater tank cleaning

    I’ve had the same issue on my express. Keeping up with tank treatments regularly is best. Warning, too much bleach will wreck the rubber washers and degrade the water line connector seals. Use a marine/RV tank cleaner (west Marine water tank flush) at the beginning of the season and follow...

    Water won’t drain from aft starboard bilge compartment under generator.

    I have a 2006 360 express. Water accumulates under in the aft starboard side bilge compartment under my generator located in the aft rigging hold. I have to vacuum it out periodically. It’s difficult to get into that space and I haven’t been able to find a weep hole or blockage that...

    Raising helm chairs on 306 Canyon

    Had this done on my 360 express. Replaced my captains chair and port bench seat with a high back chair. The port bench seat didn’t give you any view over the console. Now the port seat is the same height as the captains seat. Taylor Made Products builds chairs with marine grade vinyl...

    2” of Water always in mid ship bilge of 360 express - want to get it out - “Bilge-B-Dry” question

    My 360 express sits bow slightly down at the dock holding about 2 inches of water forward of the mid ship seacocks and bilge pump. Water flows to the stern when underway but it isn’t enough to run aft bilge to completely remove the water. I shop vac every 2 weeks and remove about 5 gallons...

    f300's or f350's

    Yes. I was aware of that from your profile. I was referencing my conversation with the design engineer and my 360. The construction and engineering design of the 330 and the 360 and now the 340, 370 are the same. The only difference are the respective beams and LOAs - which dictates weight...

    f300's or f350's

    Yes. He said the transoms on the 360s had been designed for heavier engines beginning in 2005 but the engine max at the time was 250. The max hp rating was changed once 300s + plus engines came on line. I’ve seen plenty of older 360s for sale and on the water repowered with 300s and 350s.

    f300's or f350's

    Be mindful of the max hp rating on the 33. I repowered my rig and checked in with the Grady engineers, with my insurance co and 2 others for for a second and 3rd opinion. The grady engineer said I could repower with triple 350s but warned that insurance could deny a claim if the max hp...

    What model Grady White do you own?

    “2006 360 Express, repowered with Yamaha triple 250s - yea I know - You should have put 300s or 350s on her”….Nope - insurance won’t cover because of engine mak plate and Grady engineer explicitly told me not to because of the larger engine weight on transom design. 2008 and beyond can hold the...

    Multiple Engine Flush Process

    Buy a hose splitter off of amazon - make sure it’s plastic otherwise you’ll regret it the first time a helper drops it on your gelcoat. Cut lengths of an old house and add plastic connections to the outward flow side of the splitter to connect to the flush ports. I have triple 250s and this...
