    Resealing of 33 Express Side Vent

    Hi all - I’m planning my spring projects out on this snowy evening. I’ve got a 2006 33 Express and have read all the stories of the wet transoms and wet coring on the side. I’ve seen plenty of folks post about the transom repairs but have not seen anyone post on how to reseal the side vents...

    Neema 2000 connection of Yamahas to Garmin

    Did you ever complete this connection? I'm looking to do the similar 06 Express, twin 06 F250s (going to Garmin). My existing Hub is filled so I'm thinking I need to add an additional Hub following the attached schematic. Then the J1939 connector from this new hub to the Garmins. Does this...

    Propane Stove in 2006 Sailfish

    I used to have a 1999 GW Sailfish and it had a butane stove in it. Not propane. The fuel is a standard restaurant grade butane can that looks like a spray paint can and was connected under a chrome cover on the right side of the stove. The stove looked like the one in the link below and you...

    Do I suck or is it my boat?

    I used to run a 272 Sailfish which was a very similar hull. I think you have more running surface. With that boat, in anything small (1s - 2s or rolling) I'd trim the bow all the way up. When the chop got a little bigger and shorter intervals, I found it was a better ride to trim the bow to...

    GW 330 Express Recommendations

    Everyone has an opinion… mine is #2 with the 250s. In my mind my express is a forever boat (I said that with my last one too) and I’d rather have a newer less used hull which I could put new motors on than the new motors on an older hull. Especially since the 07 has the generator and thruster...

    2007 Grady White 30 Marlin - no affiliation

    Hey all - I have no affiliation to this and know no additional information but was working with this broker a few years back and still get his emails. He sent this note yesterday (the link is real and works, I checked out the pictures): Hi, good evening! Here's better photos for the 2007...

    330 Express cockpit deck drains

    I had mine done last year. The port ones were not bad but the starboard were brutal. They ended up cutting a hole and adding an inspection plate in the deck behind the door to the cockpit. You can see it in this photo (Sorry I couldn’t find a better picture). I would ask your mechanic if...

    Marine Stereo Power

    Two thoughts. Check to see if it’s the source of the music. Switch from Bluetooth to FM. If you’re using Bluetooth, make sure the volume on your phone is all the way up or the volume from the app you are using. If that doesn’t work, try adjusting the gain on the amp.

    306 Canyon

    I completely agree with what everyone has said and recommend following the shut down process of the MFDs by holding the power button. Then shut the switch off. I always leave my switch off unless I am using the units. You should test the switch to make sure this is what it does. Turn on...

    Need photo of 2008 or newer 330

    This isn’t my boat but i walked by it on the dock tonight and snapped a photo. I’ve been thinking of adding something similar to this (google pointed me to Lowes of all places). It should work with the older style ladders which is what I have...

    Any 330 owners with cockpit storage cover

    I'd be interested in the cockpit cover as well (with the triangles - as described here) for a 33 Express. I would bet someone has a template out there which may cut the cost down. For reference, I know of a Marlin which had one put on 2 years ago (pre-covid) which cost about $3K to have it...

    Switch LEDs

    If you end up swapping out your switches, I’m looking for a single on/off four spade (part #30-054). I’d be interested in an old one from you since I can’t seem to find an oem replacement anywhere. Thanks!

    1996 272 Sailfish running F 225’s

    I had a pair of 225 E-tec 2-strokes on the back of my 1999 272. It handled the weight, which should be about the same, without issues but I think the 1999 has a longer running surface than the earlier models (could be wrong here). It's not exactly what you're looking at but I can be a...

    TAKING ON water

    Having had a 1999 272 the sea cocks were all in the same compartment as the fwd bilge. You should be able to rule those out pretty easily. Other key areas for leaks in that boat - from experience - would be: overboard cockpit drains (dry rot hose), freshwater system (windshield wash valve)...

    Adding Bow Thruster 330 Express

    I agree with all of the above - we have a 2006, the bow thruster is very helpful to spin into wind and our access plate is in the same place as Elyse. Under the little bunk area in the dinette. You can access it pretty easily.

    330 Generator Hatch - caulk or no caulk?

    @grady33 are you able to send any pictures of your palm beach cover? I'm interested in getting one and have the same boat 06 330. As for the thread, I caulk the hatch back in place and keep a razor blade handy if I need to open it. I figure if I need to open it, what's another minute after...

    Anyone mount a big amplifier in a Grady?

    Hi all - I’ve been following this thread as I’m thinking of adding a new setup in my 330 Express. Here is what we’re thinking: - 2 pairs Fusion 7.7 inch speakers - one for the helm and another the cockpit speakers - Fusion 12 inch subwoofer in water heater access plate cover - The cockpit and...

    Help w/Fisher Panda Generator

    Quick easy question. I'm 99% sure I'm having the same issue. 3 out of 4 tries the generator just clicks and then every 4th try it starts just like normal without a problem. I'm having problems finding spare relays (outside of ebay). Where did you get them from? 2006 Express w/ Diesel FP
