Congratulations! You're gonna love that glassed Pilot house. A friend of mine had one and it's incredible...

Remember, when Grady-White introduced the 330 Express, they installed them with F225's. The F225 3.3L V6 was the LARGEST outboard Yamaha made at the time. It was a revolutionary "Grand Slam" kind of a boat with rave reviews all around. Later, they sold them with F250's. Again, the largest...

I just repowered my 2006 330 after 2,500 reliable hours on a pair of F250's. I now have F300's. Is a 330 underpowered with F250's? No. Is a 330 better with F300's? Yes. In my use case scenario, I value my Bow Thruster and generator very much. I'd never own a large Grady without both of...

Good job Doberman! That debris is almost unavoidable. It just seems to collect, grow, in the tank. I have a tight and well sealed fuel cap and still see crap in my filter every 80 hours when I change oil. 7 minutes run time is about how long the FP will run from small amount of fuel in the...

Good point on the resale value. Totally agree. I love my Fischer Panda (2006 with 850 hours). While the FP is certainly not perfect, if you understand their weaknesses and have spare parts they should deliver 2,000 hours of use. Out of necessity, I sort of have become a FP Mechanic (lol). I...

For years, what has worked well for me is to put a sand bag "spider" on the hood of each Yamaha. I recently had one get blown off in the the wind so now I put down a small piece of that non skid (waffle looking) shelf liner stuff under the sand bag base. For the hard top - I simply use 20#...

When this job begins, all access panels on the starboard side will need to removed. This includes, the full starboard side of the lower aft bunk, the rectangular box shaped panel hanging from the ceiling area in the aft bunk, the AC/DC switch panel, the forward Yamaha gauge panel at the helm...

Reading the above, I think I might try the props I currently run on my 3.3L F250’s. They are PowerTech Offshore 4 blade props that are 15.25” diameter in 16 pitch. These props work well on my F250’s. I think they will work well on the F300’s. ?

Thank you very much. I wonder if a set of 4 blades in 16 pitch would be best. but I prefer not to guess…

I will be doing a repower this Summer on my 2006 330 Express. Wondering if anyone has some real world experience on their propeller selection on a 330 with twin Yamaha 300's. I'm thinking Yamaha's Salt Water Series in a 17 pitch, 3 blade, is a good place to start. Curious what others think in...

That discovery perfectly explains your issue. An intermittent power loss is a huge safety concern. Take off that defective battery selector and hit it hard with a sledge hammer!

To all: The saga continues... To LuckyDude: The only boat better than a Grady-White, is a bigger Grady-white.

You can worry all day and night about moisture in your transom. Doing what Longbay Boy (USMM) above suggests is smart. With the boat out of the water, you can actually stand on the lower unit skeg (one foot on each side) and bounce around a bit and observe the transom. If no flex, then you...

Yes, Thank you Dennis. Perko makes it. Here it is... https://www.perko.com/catalog/fills_and_vents/207/locking_fuel_fill_insert/

I once had these key lock inserts that went into the space beneath the screw on gas cap. The idea is to prevent a siphon from going down into your tank. I misplaced the ones I had. Anyone know of the manufacturer and PN that fits a 330 gas intake? Probably to the same for most Gradys...

Yes indeed. Those horns are legendary for not working. Not worth tearing the boat apart to replace it. You could spend $ and install a nice and very loud air horn up on your hardtop. 12V power is in your upper cabinet. I kept it simple: I switched to a hand held pneumatic boat horn. I...

I tried "Roll Off" and I was unimpressed (price and performance wise). I wax every 6 months so I have a good coat on it at all times. Soft Scrub, lots of water and a couple swipes with my soft brush takes the soot off quick. Takes just a few minutes... Lastly - For What It's Worth - I have...

Took me a while but I found the perfect solution to removing diesel exhaust soot from my starboard side (330 Express). Soft Scrub + a soft brush. Works great...

Good that you got it running again but sticky valves could not have blown your 100 amp fuse.

On my 330, which came with power assist steering: A. No. Your AP pump stays "as is". The Power assist pump is additive (so it may operate when your AP is off). B. No. You leave what's there. The Power assist pump is simply plumbed in addition to your existing sea star hydraulic system. C...
