    330 fuel burn

    As a rule of thumb with the 330 and twin 300's, assume .85nm/G - 1.1nm/G depending on load.

    Block

    This is, unfortunately, the 2nd biggest corrosion issue with the F225's. I had the same problem. The good news is that it can be repaired with J.B.Weld epoxy or similar and it will get you through the striper season - assuming the water spray did not get into the air intake, which based on the...

    Running at night

    We run a lot at night and long range most if the time to the NE canyons. I suppose it took a while to get comfortable with, though i don't think one will ever get completely comfortable with it. The best advice i can offer you is start by running with your radar on during the day, particularly...

    265 center rigger?

    Yes, it was 45 deg ad i believe it was a 12' retractable rigger. You want the tip of the rigger to be right in line with the back of your motors +/-.

    265 center rigger?

    Yes, I added a center rigger to my old 265 - double rigged it and had the halyards attached to the top rod holders coming down the sides of the hard top support bars. I had a carbon fiber rigger and mount that i bought directly from Lee's Tackle.

    Transom moisture

    Also wanted to add, have that lip of the transom glassed over properly and then put a cap - Grady no longer uses he aluminum , but some kind of plastic material, but have that lip glassed over. Prices for this work can vary widely depending on where you are locate of course, but a fair estimate...

    Transom moisture

    Looks like you are in for transom replacement at 70% reading. Find a good reputable shop that is known for this type of work and see what they advise. I would have it rebuilt using a composite material - Coosa Board - as opposed to plywood. I would also contact Grady White directly and advise...

    Transom moisture

    It''s quite a broad question you are asking with many variables and therefore just as many answers. I have quite a bit of experience on the topic (fortunately or unfortunately) and would gladly provide what feedback I can. How and by whom was the moisture detected- you, surveyor a shop? Was...

    336 Canyon Aft fish box cooler

    My 330 has chill plates but the entire system was replaced by the previous owner. I experienced similar issues, the thermostat would power up, but the plates and system itself were not turning on. There is a reset button on mine that is located on the internal unit which is located on the port...

    Huddle up. It's decision time.

    I second Legend's thoughts on sticking to the plan, as the monetary implication of this problem is theoretically minor in the grander scheme of things. Is this a headache yes, but reason to abort mission? What were the motors worth to begin with...$9K with all harnesses etc. The beginning of...

    265 Express Fuel Tanks

    I can only offer you second hand experience that was shared with me by 2 other 265 owners and that pulled their tanks and they both claimed it was a pretty straight forward job- mush easier than they expected. think reconnecting the fuel fill line on the main was the only thing that gave a bit...

    Where do you guy your 5200 sealant?

    Sorry, i just revisited your second post, you are affixing the hardtop with it...different story. I thought it was just accessories that were to be mounted to the hardtop.

    Where do you guy your 5200 sealant?

    Having now read what you intend to use it on... I would highly recommend using marine grade silicone or 4200 (at most) for those applications. 5200 is serious stuff and i have learned my lesson the very very hard way to say the least- use it on anything that you consider that you will...
