    Removing Lewmar Trust Joystick 330 Express

    Remove the fusion control, Yamaha screen, or the whole tub under the pod. You can’t get to that from the cabin even if you remove the breaker panel. I have an older 330 with the side power joystick and there are covers in the face that came off to expose screws… that lewmar design stinks if...

    What have you done to your Grady lately?

    You can see during this construction pic in the distance some other people have done similar with paver bricks etc.

    What have you done to your Grady lately?

    define "let" lol! 1/4 of the boat slips there have something in this same dead zone between the boats and the large poles they lay down so you don't drive your vehicle into the drink. several "decks" like mine and a few people with tables and chairs set up. I probably took it to the next...

    What have you done to your Grady lately?

    Mostly free too. The deck was my fatherinlaws above ground pool deck that I repurposed. The bar itself is a few pallets I stained. The top is an old piece of butcher block I used to use for a work bench. The umbrella is an old one I used for work- I left the bottom half of it on a Job site...

    Generator removal

    I took mine out of my 330 express with some wrenches and just 2 of is. No draining, no tilting, just unbolted,and humped it out. It’s heavy but no need to make a major production out of it. Took an hour. Once it was in the deck, I cheated a little and had my friend pick it up with his skid...

    265 not so fresh water tank

    You hit it on the head with the good turnover comment. Once you get the stink out, keep using it… best way to keep it fresh.

    New Seadek - Marlin

    I used to be a naysayer because i bought into the dopey nonsense I read on some forums. Then I actually saw a boat with it and I was sold instantly. I'm going into season 3 with mine and I love it. feels so good to walk on it barefoot. And lets face it, it's easier to keep a little dirty-...

    265 not so fresh water tank

    There is no need to drink water on a boat this size. It's not like you will be taking weeks long extended trips with no access to land. flush the tank as good as you can to a level of "i'm ok washing may hands in it." Yanking the tank seems extreme. Mine is 20 years old and I get so it...

    Cockpit Access Door Mods

    Do a search on here. This isn’t the only the thread on this. The consensus was time better spent improving what you have. i have an ‘04. I clear siliconed the joint between the horizontal part and the cockpit floor. After it dried I pulled it up and enough stayed that it’s like I put a...

    Is it time for a Grady transom "sticky"?

    No denying the issue… but IS it an issue or WAS it an issue? Was it model dependent? The ones I've read about are boats from the 90's. are all the 2000's marlins/sailfish, etc suspect?

    Installing a boat table

    I was thinking in the cockpit on mine. I want a table out there but I'd rather not do a floor mount because I have seadek and i'd have to cut it. question, on a 330 express, there are multiple inspection ports running down the centerline of the cockpit floor. would a floor mounted table...

    mystery water

    If you are on the hard, go out there at night and have someone shine a light from outside all under the cap and vents, where pulpit attaches, anywhere you can think of. If you are inside you may be able to find it. If it only comes in when running the boat, I'd guess its coming in above water...

    265 rear bench seat options/ideas

    I added a side folding bench on my 330. It could easily adapt to the rear of a 265 like the earlier pics shown in this thread. I got it from elevation marine. comes in a few different lengths too. color and pattern nearly indentical to factory grady. Elevation Marine Folding Bench
