You are performing an excellent improvement to your Grady. And, Fishtales advice is spot on... Those pop out lids leak over time. The screw in type is simply a better design on all levels. While it doesn't apply to you (Seafarer), replacing the hatches in the Euro-transom area is key...

Some Summary Root Cause comments: DrBatts hit the nail on the head with respect to the melted fuse holders on the ProMariner Chargers: "In my current boat it happened trying to charge a dead battery" - I too had this happen (see photo of red melted fuse holder). Now, exactly WHY was my...

Oh man, you're gonna love it. Years ago, I went from a 17' open boat to a 228. Never had to wear my foulies again! Good luck and looks like the Installer did a great job

I've been retired now for 6 years. Live in Half Moon Bay, CA. Rockfish is open 9 months a year and is very good here. Salmon is open 6 months a year and also very good. Dungeness Crab is awesome in November and December. We also run for Albacore in August and Sept. And the Blue Fin are...

Like others in a 330, I have 4 batteries: 2 on Port and 2 on Starboard in parallel. Group 26 sized Optima AGM's. I have my ProMariner Charger (ProNautic Model 1230P) set for AGM's. Like Hookup experienced, I had a condition where my House batteries ran basically to zero volts due to my shore...

Coincidentally, I too have experienced this - but on ProMariner 30 amp charger with 3 leads. I had 2 of the 3 charger leads going to my Port Battery bank and 1 charger lead going to the Starboard battery bank. Like you, my starboard bank feeds the House. So, when the Starboard bank gets low...

He said above: removal was to replace a starboard pull out underwater light.

I have been fishing for Albacore for years off Fort Bragg. You did nothing wrong. The fish just weren't on the bite that day. Don't even think about using DR's - the advice you got was good from your fishing club guys. Troll your stuff (good BTW) at 7.5 knots set back from your 3rd to 5th...

My current Main AC Breaker + Galvanic Isolator look like this (circa 2006):

Yes, thank you - I realized afterwards that the Blue Seas one I looked at is a DC Breaker (not AC). I think i will call GW Customer Service and see what they are putting in the new 330's. My preference is to relocate the Breaker to a less wet location - like down in the area where the...

2006 330 Express My Main Circuit Breaker & Galvanic Isolator up under the starboard stern gunnel are ready for replacement. Has anyone done this? and any advice as to what type of breaker to use? Since it is a wet environment, I was thinking of something like this from Blue Seas...

Bill has it correct above On another note - on my boat (2006 330), when the hot water got fully hot - the clear reinforced hose that attaches to an elbow there POPPED OFF! This resulted in Niagra Falls happening on the inside starboard side and down into the aft berth. I didn't know this was...

You are going to LOVE the 305 Express. Congratulations. The photo you posted shows your 305 like a Factory Fresh boat!

Check your Check Valve. It's located on top of the remote fuel tank on the fuel line feeding your fuel pump. If there is any material in your tank, it could be partailly clogging the check valve and restricting fuel flow. The check valve is a simple ball valve that looks like a barbed fitting...

The interior of your tank looks to me like it's in pretty good shape. I'd remove all of those particles and bits in there with a rag on an end of a stick. Get it as clean as you can and dispose of that milky fuel somewhere (safe). Your gas "source" obviously was bad unless you left your fuel...

I have the older F250's but did change to the 4 blade and prefer them considerably. <<<< Me too... 2006 F250's on a 330.

These are some of the longest sunlight days of the year. Add warm water, and your growth on the hull is at maximum output. You know your boat - you're initial thoughts are probably spot on. You might have a Diver do a scrub job before going offshore. Or at least have someone take a swim and...

Sparkdog nailed it. I had the exact same leak on my 2006 F250. If you see oil pooling up top near that area, you know what to do. Your Mechanic isn't telling you anything because he knows you could probably do it and he wants your money (just my guess).

I have a pair of F250's (2006). I inspect mine when I change spark plugs and have found they have not lost much material over the years so I therefore have not changed them. They are at least 90%. On my engine, the anodes are in between the spark plugs - might be the same on yours. I...

I immediately had the same observation as Summertop. Also, from the photos, it looks to me like that GW hasn't been maintained all that well. Small problems, like LEAKS, can turn into big problems if ignored. Just my two cents.
