    Helm Chair Modification 33 Express

    It has always been an issue with me the lack of room in the helm for people to move around when you have center helm location. We use our boat for fishing and diving but also have many outings overnight at the transients docks at many Marinas. We have over 1300 hours on our '08 Grady. So we use...

    Windlass Problem

    I had same thing happen.. Only way I could free it was to take it apart put in a chain vise and use a 4' pipe wrench.. Needless to say it had some grooves in it. Cleaned it up and smoothed it out. Use it for spare parts. The parts can be bought on line pretty reasonable. Now I service every year.

    M260 Transducer 265Express

    I have a 260 in my 33Express hooked to NavNet 2 (Furuno). Don't put it where Grady says. They told me to put it in the forward bilge area. I did it and lost the bottom at 12 knots or less. Called again they said cut a hole in the storage compartment of the aft berth, install there..Same result...

    Vacuflush Head

    Make sure you always have the discharge valve open before you start the pump out. The newer ones have what they call "duck valves" on each side of the pump. If you don't have the valve open it blows them out. I know! Its a sh-ty job to change um!.. And always flush it out with water. I aways add...

    Mine starts right up, but I have had some problems. I would check the fuel pump and check valve,(built into pump). Pull the oil sending unit wire off the sending unit, push the on button only(not start) you should hear the pump and check valve. At the very least let the pump run for a minute...
