    Repower 330

    If you are going with yamaha, then get the 250's and flash them as the other guy suggested... of course try it out first and you may find you don't need it. I was torn on the gauges. In the end I bought a newer 12" simrad and had them link it with the mercury engines. I like having all that...

    2004 GW Express Cruiser Sink, Water Tank and Transducer questions

    I also have an '04. I also need to do my fresh water sensor as it does not work lol. On transducers, you could have anything at this point. Even if you have all OE ducers and MFD's, I don't believe grady rigged them with all the same stuff. As far as I could tell, mine came new with the stand...

    Hot Water Heater 265 Express

    I agree with this-but it can be a self fulfilling prophesy. not ever cycling it can lead to it not sealing the one time you do try it. If you have one that you don't know the history on or if your'e sure it's never been cycled- then yes I agree don't touch it if you can avoid it. better yet...

    Grady White 330 Express Bow Thruster - Replacement

    That's a lot of issues for a piece of equipment that rarely fails. these things go for years and years with only minor issues. time to peel back the onion and figure out what's really happening. crusties setting up shop in the thruster tunnel? you replaced "everything" what does that mean...

    preparing to enter market

    Since the 30 Marlin hasn't changed much in 20 years, there are a lot to choose from. Don't be afraid of an older hull that's been repowered-as long as it surveys ok . Early 2000's that got repowered 4/5 years ago will probably the best bang for your buck as they have some hours and the...

    Marlin prop size

    I'd start with checking the engine mounting height. Antiventilation plates should be right on the water surface while at planing speed. I found the easiest way to figure it out is to take a 15/20 second video and then screen shot it. Trying to stay still and actually snap a pic is nearly...

    Indicator Lights on the AC Main Panel not working

    maybe the lights can be changed? I know they are NOT part of the breaker as I had to change one and there wasn't any light on it.

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    I'm almost 2 seasons in and it's holding up fine. couple of bites here and there but nothing crazy. As I said earlier in the initial post, I always have the option of peeling it off and painting- so000.....the wrap is coming off this winter and I'm getting the boat painted. Awlgrip Stars and...

    Tinning Corroded Wire

    I have been using non insulated crimps for years. you can get a really good crimp on those without the BS bargain basement plastic insulator on them. I follow up with heat shrink. I also use delphi weatherpack connectors every chance I get. gasketed where the wires enter each side and where...

    How to "upgrade" fuel gauge?

    I repowered from old 4 stroke yamahas with round gauges to verados. I just got a simrad 12" nssevo3, I assume they adapted my existing senders because I get all my fule readings on the Simrad as well as all the engine management. total game changer being able to customize how I want to view...

    Wiper adjustment

    I can’t imagine the wiper motors are that different. There are different positions inside the motor. Check this thread how I adjusted mine. Wiper motor adjust surprisingly little info on the forums and YouTube how to do this.

    REPOWER

    How long have you had it? Do you love it? With prices the way they still are, I vote for repower. I did it on my 330 and am into it for about as much as I could have gotten a rwpowered one for….a repowered one with several hundred hours on it. So I’m equal on the money but I have 8 years of...

    Indicator Lights on the AC Main Panel not working

    That panel is extremely easy to access. 8 screws and they left enough wire on 120v and 12v sides to pull it out. I’d be shocked (pun intended) if you removed it and didn’t find an obvious loose wire. I had my entire 12v side cutting out and it was a loose ground.

    2005 330 Express upgrades

    I have an '04 and I think I copied you. I did the nearly the exact same stuff. It's a sickness, I feel like I can't stop lol

    Unknown Reservoir

    It’s bow thruster lube. Tube runs into the silver plate where the leg shaft runs through the tunnel. They deleted that on later models. . My ‘04 sidepower SP55S has it

    2007 330 Express Windshield Upgrade

    I'm going to resurrect this. I'd love to have the newer windshield on my '04 I see there's a used 330 late model windshield for sale on ebay right now. wonder ti would fit?

    Single engine position on 26 islander

    I’d start with engine height. The anti ventilation plate should be at water level. The factory and dealers seem to default to burying the engines. I feel like there interest is in delivering a boat that's good enough, not necessarily optimized for best performance.

    33 Express

    I’ve had my ‘04 for almost 3 seasons. I like it so much I repowered it. It’s a beast of a boat. Stepping up from a 22’ CC to a 330 certainly cures 2 footitis! Kind of like killing a fly with a 12 gauge but still gets the job done :D
