Congrats on the new boat! I hope you all enjoy it out in CA.

This is good stuff. Thanks for all the information here. I’m going to be trying to connect my 2006 Yamaha 250s to new 1243s and my NMEA network if the MFDs ever show up. We’ve been waiting at least two months for them from Garmin.

I had a similar problem in my old 272 GW Sailfish. I could not find the problem for the life of me. Aft bilge was dry, all seacocks closed, no rain, no movement, just sitting there and the forward bilge would fill with water until the pump kicked on. I spent months searching. I even dried...

That looks great! I've got a pair of Garmin 12" that have been on backorder for weeks. I can't wait to get them and drop them in.

That’s what I’ve been doing, is shutting the blower once the generator starts. But I was talking to someone at the dock the other day who runs a gas generator and says he leaves the blower running the entire time. I thought this was weird but wanted to get other opinions.

Hi all - I’m getting excited to start a full season with a 2006 Express I picked up in September last year. I upgraded from a GW Sailfish which I had for six years. This is my first boat with a generator and I definitely run the blower before starting the generator but do you all run the...

We pull ours up across the back of the transom if we have a bigger crew or if it's just 2 - 3 of us, we will put it right inside the cockpit. It's a bit of a pain to pull the motor off and get it in but works well when we're running. I also make sure to drop it back in the water when we get to...

Thanks for sharing all of this. Looks great! What did you use to sew this material together? I've been interested in fixing some of my canvas and can't seem to come across a suggestion.

I owned a 1999 Sailfish for 6 years and the few things you need to look at are similar to what fish tales says. The transom cap, absolutely needs to be checked and fixed before it goes bad (its a matter of time), check the brass drain tubes in the transom as they can crack leading to a wet...

The moorings are town owned and first come first served. You can hail the harbormaster when you get into the Salt Pond and they will help you out with one. There is also a large anchorage and many people throw the hook for the weekend or longer. We’ve been going for years and 90% of the time...

It all depends on when you are going and what you are looking for. Both are great spots with great bars. Champlin’s has new owners this summer so it’s hard to say if that will change the vibe. If you’re looking for “amenities”, then Champlins is your place. Both have good night life and...

I used Laz from Luxury Boat transport and had an awesome experience. It was cheap, on-time and great communication. I think he is based in Florida. His number is 305-467-5858.

I think that's a great idea for a backup. I actually use these (link below) in my basement at home. They let me know if any water gets in during some of the heavy rains we get in the spring. I've had a great experience with them...

Just checked those ones out and I like them. I’m going for simple install and clean looking.

Thanks Dennis - that's a good idea, the other think I was thinking is a way to mount one to the side of the pop up council, this way it's not always in-front of me and can be concealed with the council. I also like the NMEA idea. I wonder how that would work when the electronics are not on...

Hi all - I’m looking to add two high water alarms to my 330 Express one in the aft bilge and one in the forward. I’ve been looking around and everything I’ve seen looks pretty intrusive when it comes to the dash mount and I’d like to keep the dash as clean as possible. Any recommendations?

I didn’t buy that specific boat but ended up with another 330. In mine my transducer is on the starboard side of the centerline just forward of the genset. Much like others in this thread have noted. I’m actually getting my electronics redone this winter by True North Marine here in CT...

Wireline - just sent you a PM with recommendations. I had similar issues on one of my previous Grady’s.

Very cool and an angle we don't really see of our boats! Just picked up a 330 a few months ago and I don't know if you remember but we spoke about yours back over the summer. The season was to short for us in New England, especially when the new boat didn't come until late August! I'm glad to...

I just picked up an 06 Express myself and am glad that you found the issues through the survey. Luckily, mine came through without a problem, hopefully it stays that way . Best of luck in your search!
