No inverter on my 330. Why need one when you have the FP? (which I use all the time).

I think "Grumpy" needs more rod holders. 30 is not enough. You need at least 50 or 60. Just sayin...

They might (?) cover a bit of it and ask you to sign an NDA. Regardless, you are doing the right thing. I'm thinking the expansion and contraction of freezing water/ice contributed to the issue. I bet all Gradys (and other brands) over 10 years old with wood transoms are wet to some degree...

The one that I have seems to have been discontinued by Birdsall Marine. I have a rectangular shaped Table that is I'd say 2X the size of this item in the below link. If you notice, at the base, three large allen head bolts removes it. It has a separate mounting plate that you through bolt...

Had my 330 for over 10 years now (model year 2006). When I first bought the bought, it had a rectangle shaped table with 4 rod holders and 2 cup holders in the table. Made by Birdsall Marine in FL. I took one look at it and said it's got to go. Now, I can't live without it! It holds...

If it helps, your generator (a F Panda I assume) will self protect itself by shutting itself down if any of these 4 occur: 1 - Low engine oil 2 - High engine temperature 3 - High Exhaust temperature 4 - High winding temperature Since your issue is happening while underway, my guess is it's #2...

FYI - in my 330, I did the same thing as wspitler above except I added 2nd High Water Alarm in the stern area bilge as well. Both alarms have their control panels installed below the CO Alarm (on the port side as you hands and knees crawl aft). This is where I see Grady putting them on their...

Thank you for these how to about steering. How about adding some type of power steering? >>> You certainly CAN add power assist steering to your current set-up. I have a 330 Express with power assist and frankly, I'll never own a boat without it. It works soooo good!. It installs in your...

I just mounted it thru the fiberglass hard top. Do you think this will work? <<< No. For long term use, the bases need to be mounted, welded, onto the metal frame of the hardtop.

If one were to remove the bang plate, isn't the very top of the transom already fiberglassed and sealed at the factory?

I am curious about two things: #1 - What is the purpose of the bang plate? (besides causing corrosion!) and #2 - What exactly is under the bang plate? Like - at the factory - is it Grady's practice to fiberglass and therefore seal the very top portion of the transom? God help us all if the...

I replaced mine through the 6" deck hatches. I don't think you'll get close trying to go up and over the generator. It can be done going straight down through the 6" deck hatch. Get into the right position and reeeeeeach!

Your Transom Repair Guy seems very knowledgeable. Personally, I think you're lucky to have him work on your boat. If you intend to keep it a long time, you are doing exactly the right thing and will add value (and safety) to your boat in the long run. This is actually a good time of year to do...

Same for me above by Kirk. It was the switch, not the motor... Check it closely and you'll probably save alot of money.

It's got to be a retrofit as Grady-White wouldn't sell a boat with one like that in an "engine compartment". However, it's a low risk item since the FP will shut itself down in the event of an over heat condition. It's a diesel (not gas) and in it's own casing. Still, if not changed, I'd be...

I just completed the Valve Adjustment. It was easier than I thought. Here's a few notes: 1. 13mm socket to remove the two bolts holding the heart shaped valve cover down. 2. The nylon washers under these bolts are snug. Very snug. Like they are threaded. I unscrewed the washers to...

You're Awesome Seasick and Bill. Thank you! In reading a Farymann Diesel booklet that came with my Generator, it shows: #1 To do the adjustment at TDC (cold engine) with the "automatic decompression device in operating position" I assume I hand crank the drive shaft until it gets to TDC. I...

Has anyone done a Valve Adjustment on their Fischer Panda? Mine has 723 hours on it and has never had a valve adjustment. I think this should be done every 300 hours. Looking for any tips from those who have done this. Thanks, Jack 2006 330 Express with FP 4200 KW Generator

Thanks - I just ordered some Roll-Off and will give it a try...

Thank you all. I will give your suggestions a try...
