    33 Express new owner questions

    Thanks for the quick reply Flot. I guess the running gen makes enough exhaust pressure to keep the cooling water from backing into the engine...I'll heed the warning. Boat is an 06 with a single wiper. The 20" wiper looks wimpy. I was wondering if the previous owner put on the wrong size.

    33 Express new owner questions

    Hi All I'm a new 33 express owner with a couple of questions: 1. Does anyone know the correct Marinco windshield wiper size ? - it looks like mine is a 20" blade but that looks kind of short. Can I fit a 22" blade? 2. Can someone explain why I can't run with the gen (Fischer Panda Diesel)...

    B260/SS270W versus SS264 pair

    Hoghunter I still watch this site even though I crossed over to the dark side a while back. We had a discussion concerning the B260 on an Albemarle -(it's a monster with that fairing block) here's the link: http://www.albemarleboatowners.com/foru ... php?t=1659 good luck

    305 speakers

    Not 100% sure but usually these are wired as the "front" speakers. You should be able to use you fader function to shut down the front and favor the "rear" The fader selection is usually in the audio menu - probably with selections for base, treble, balance , etc

    Anyone Have a Source for Loctite 572?

    Through-Hull vs. Transom Mounted Transducer for 228 Seafarer

    You may want to take a look at the Airmar site - they make the transducers for just about every manufacturer. They were very helpful when I had questions. http://www.airmartechnology.com/airmar2 ... D=0&NewID=

    repower 265 Express with suzuki 175?

    Maybe, but I would pose the question to GW, might be a bit light on power and heavy on weight. GW made a hull modification when they went to 4 strokes - I think this was in 2003. Resale may be an issue also - don't see any 265's with less than twin 200's What will you save with the Zukes...

    Raleigh Boat Show

    MB Unfortunately I think you're right about GW staying with the big outboards.. but I can hope. I'm afraid the diesel inboards have spoiled me forever. Those engines or an IPS in a Grady hull would be the ultimate boat for a lot of folks like me. Then throw in the Grady organization and...

    Raleigh Boat Show

    Megabytes -Thanks for a great report. I've had 2 GW's and now an Albermarle - the way GW treats their customers should be the benchmark for all businesses, not just this one. I'll send them my deposit check the day I hear they want to make an inboard diesel or an IPS powered hull. I'll...

    Spot Light Suggestions

    I've been on several boats with spotlights on the hardtop and they all splash so much light on the forward deck that the reflected light destroys your night vision. The top is a bad place to mount a light, it really becomes useless. You will do much better with a forward mounted light - I...

    adding rod holders to T-top

    I'm all for clamping. Welding means pulling out all your wiring - a huge pain I had Lee clamp-on on my previous boat- they worked out great The same conversation is going on at the Albemarle owners site - there's also a link to the Lee site http://www.albemarleboatowners.com/foru ... php?t=1650

    That 36 with the "hardtop" is as ugly as a bag of feet. Hope that's not a factory design

    Battery Charger Suggestions

    Bob - same as me; the factory-mounted Guest ruined my three batteries. Like a dummy I replaced it with the same - worked much better; it didn't ruin any batteries before it failed in the second season. If these were free I wouldn't install one.

    Very good choice - and at a bargain too. Stay away from Guest - overpriced junk.

    Winter Electronics Storage

    Any opinion for removal of electronics for the winter? I have always done in the past, but with flush mounted units this is a big PITA. I have Raymarine E80's - in Cape Cod area - secure area, so theft isn't a big concern - I'm more concerned about the moisture and temps. What's everybody...

    Your RPM does sound a bit low I had the same boat with the same engines. It had the Yamaha Saltwater series, 15-1/4 x 17 stainless props Here's the link to the Yamaha performance data. Even with bottom paint, I found these numbers to be nearly identical to my boat's performance...
