    Insurance for a 330 express

    NBOA for my 33. Actually for all the boats I have had/do have. I pay up for their unlimited tow policy and have had to use it. The only difference is you have to pay the bill and they repay you. The check was waiting at my house after I finished my 5 day trip that included 2 tows equaling 1,800.

    330 Express Questions

    compass likely under bathroom sink. A/C shouldn't drain into midship bilge, it should drain into shower sump which should be left on so that the sump bilge pump can pump a/c condensation overboard rather than letting it overflow into bilge.

    265 holding tank vent

    1) no filter unless a previous owner installed it. 2) start with the through hull vent fitting. It has a small screen which becomes clogged. Take a small pick and rip the screen out. Happened to both my boat and my friends. The screen serves no purpose on a holding tank other than clogging...

    Expert advice needed for a Fuel Delivery issue?

    It is an inline filter (fine screen) in the fuel line. Mine clogged while all the other screens/filters were still okay. Happened to my buddy as well. I would be lying if I tried to pretend to give you the exact location. I think I remember removing one of the intake manifolds to get to it...

    "F" filter on the motor might be worth taking a look at.

    Any 330 owners have a Good F850 windlass

    Can't comment on the good windlass, but I have experienced the same problems and went to 8 plait. Better but still not great. I think the issue is the drop. Grady moved it further back in later years so there is a greater vertical drop. If I have a lot of line out I have to regularly move it...

    33’ Express questions

    2007 with F250's. Plenty of power, planes off fine, runs faster than most inboard boats of this size. F300's might be nice, F350's are great (in terms of pwer) but problematic.

    Pressurized Water and hot water System

    People, this could be the most frustrating conversation I have had on this forum in 10+ years: THERE IS NO DOCKSIDE HOOK UP ON GRADY WHITES, AT LEAST THROUGH 2007.

    Pressurized Water and hot water System

    can you tell me what grady you had with a hookup? None of the models I owned have had one. My 26 ft searay did but none of my gradys. I would love to hear what ones do model and year.

    Pressurized Water and hot water System

    #1) I have never owned a Grady that had a water hookup and I have owned a 24, 28, 33, 30, and now a 33 again ranging from 1988 to 2007. If they have that, my guess is it is on a newer boat than 2007. 2) If the water pump comes on intermittently, it is a leak and in this case, it sounds like...

    Pressurized Water and hot water System

    Fill tank to eliminate possibility of low water, then check screen on input side of pump to make sure it is not clogged (either one will cause a continuous pump situation because it is not getting enough water supply to build up enough pressure to shut down). if it is not either of those two...

    Comparing 330 Express Years 2004 and 2008

    There are a lot of nice upgrades for the 08 and newer, but gen access isn't a big deal for me. just put the corner screws in (if any screws at all) and lift it out instead of hinge. Same access.

    Comparing 330 Express Years 2004 and 2008

    That '06 is a gem, great find. I owned an '06 which I regrettably sold and regretted it enough that I bought an '07 to replace it. These are, by far, the best overall express one can own. The inboard diesels might be better strictly for canyon runs/fishing but they can't trim the motors up...

    Comparing 330 Express Years 2004 and 2008

    They have higher resale since they are the latest model with many upgrades. I own a 2007 because I can not afford a newer boat. If I could, I would enjoy the upgrades (step up into the v berth, higher windshield, gen access, wood cabinets, etc). For generator access, I usually leave my access...

    07 330 Express...Generator hatch water issues has anyone noticed where the water drains to?

    3) since they originate at a level higher than the waterline, you could cut a new hole in the hull and use gravity to drain (just like the cockpit drains do, eliminating need for a pump.

    07 330 Express...Generator hatch water issues has anyone noticed where the water drains to?

    1) you could get longer drain hoses and run them into the center, like I did. 2) if you go sump route (which seems like overkill to me, you could T the hose into the bilge drain hose, after the loop which prevents backflow.
