    Grady White 2000 228 - Cabin water intrusion

    Rebidding it is not that big a deal. It may take some patience in first getting it off and then cleaning the surfaces but if u are not in the South the wether may be a little more tempered and ok. I once had to replace my hatch because cracks in the non-glass let some water through. A Bomar...

    Usable Fuel GW 335

    My reason for full(er) tank is less condensate water risk and if u need it it's there. But yes drawback is u do haul some extra weight. I also keep water tank and diesel tank full plus anchor and cleaning supplies etc.etc that all are seldom needed under way so in the long run burning a little...

    Usable Fuel GW 335

    That is all correct and yes something is afoul with my stuff now. Anyway I do monitor the use and the GPH and MPG are pretty well shown. Under normal conditions I just calculate with 1 NMPG slow or cruise doesnt really matter and I again tend to keep my tanks over 1/2 as I usually fill up with...

    Usable Fuel GW 335

    Always calculate to leave at least 10% or 30G when refueling. ANother good question is how do you know when the tank is full? On my 2019 335 it is so hard to get any reasonable flow when fueling that the blowback can confuse you about tank being full when it is not. How good is your fuel gauge...

    Yamaha CL7 set up issues

    CL7 is a Garmin unit. Mine is 2019 and I am sure Garmin developed everything a lot since then so likely also this is not available anymore. A pain to get fuel info to work. I lost the set up when removing batteries and have not been able to restore it. I do get % of fuel left in one field if I...

    freedom 307 - AC unit in head

    Do the controls have a display? If so it should flash an error code before popping a breaker. check manual for trouble shooting, should be available on line if u don't have it. There are plenty of threads about replacements, search on replacement AC. On my old 2004? Boat the AC units (3 of...

    Trailering with Eisenglass

    The only differences between towing and running the boat on water are speed and turbulence. 60+ mph can be reached with boat on water in strong headwinds etc. so there should not be a major issue, some yes but not that much. Turbulence on the other hand is a major factor. Behind the car / truck...

    Shore power not working 300 Marlin

    Related but not quite the same. I had a wellcraft where it turned out one outlet in the cabin had been reverse wired from the factory. That is after the panel so no polarity issue and it did not happen over night. In you case I would trace each cable from the back of the boat and see where it...

    2022 Freedom 235 Fresh water troubleshooting help

    I had same problem and it turned out the faucet worked like a joystick, up and down and side to side. Otherwise are you suse you turned the fresh water pump on at the electrical panel. Switch on dash will not work unless panel is turned on. If you have a shower at back of boat try if that one...

    Electrical issue

    On the LED light flip it as it may be that +/- are the wrong way for it to work as some are just one way working not like old incandescent bulbs.

    Question about manual flush toilet

    Sounds like you have it worked out with your crew/friends. the way the heads used to be was to pump it right out no tanks as intermediaries but that's not allowed anymore and on the lakes they are really picky about disabling all macerated pump out systems and only allow marina pump out...

    Question about manual flush toilet

    Wow, normally the ocean dump switch is behind a key, so I have to turn the key to on position and of course open the valve which otherwise should be closed unless over 3 miles offshore. What a mess that would make but at least it worked so they serviced that area for you as well. H

    Question about manual flush toilet

    As said it is designed for that but don't let stuff stay in tank too long and dry out. You can theoretically at least attach a hose with a connector to the outside of boat when in a rack and flush with fresh but it is a mess to keep the hose feeding the pump at low pressure, u cannot force with.

    Owners Manual

    I believe I had the same experience of getting the manual but also numerous contacts by local dealer. No big deal and I believe the old manuals were better as the new ones are more generic and less model specific. just call them and ask for one. H

    Bildge Odors 330 Xpress

    The waste hoses may not leak fluid but vapors when they get old. So a color test may not reveal a bad hose. If that id the odor and it is easy!!!! To replace hoses just do it. Now assuming the boat is over 15 years old. Otherwise just us those left over Covid ..... not really. h

    Question about manual flush toilet

    I guess it is a Jabsco manual pump then. And as others have said u need the seawater for the pump to work. the Electric vacu flush ones (it looked like it was an option for the boat) work differently, they get pressurized water into the bowl by lifting foot pedal, and then after u r done you...

    Not enough power?

    If the motor revs that high the prop should push you faster. If the motor revs that high doesn't mean the prop is turning. You said they verified that the hub was not slipping. Something is fishy. Can you Detect cavitation? Meaning prop is not gripping as the water is "boiling" around it. I...

    Question about manual flush toilet

    Are you sure the vacu-flush uses salt water? Mine uses fresh water from the tank and the fresh water pump has to be on to feed it with water? Do you have a macerator that allows for emptying out at sea? Or is only emptied through a onshore vacuum system through a deck access cap? In any case use...
