    TRANSDUCERS

    I’m not familiar with Garmin LiveView. I have Simrad and they have a feature called DownScan, requiring a specialized transducer. Are they the same?? For Simrad, it’s a sonar image but more three dimensional than the normal sonar image. Is this imaging more of a visual gimmick than actually...

    TRANSDUCERS

    Thanks Chris. The first transducer is an M - medium. My electronics installer said it was a good compromise for shallow and deep water (note that I rarely, if ever, fish deeper than 250 ft). I believe the Simrad NSS3s has twin frequency capability, so your suggestion of the B275LHW may be a...

    TRANSDUCERS

    I am looking for feedback from the forum and thanks in advance for your posts. I am in the midst of upgrading the sonar capabilities on my 2003 330 Express. I have two Simrad MFD's, one a 12" NSS Evo 3 & the other a 9" NSS Evo 3s. I'm having an in-hull Airmar B150M CHIRP transducer installed...

    2003 Chase 263 helm modification

    If like my 330, you'll have to raise electronics closure, disconnect ram, lower ram, prop up electronics closure fully, remove tub and you should be able to access handle/disconnect mounting screws.

    Panda out solar in?

    Congrats on purchase - I remember your inquiries about a 330 purchase. Glad you got it done. Can I ask reason for wanting to dump the generator? Is it gas or diesel?

    Marine Air heat on 330 express

    Also, look at the control panel - it will tell you if the electronics are saying that the heater's on or the A/C is on. Did you adjust the desired temperature high enough to kick on the heat?? Then check the water flow out of the lower port side of the hull - if the heat pump has failed, they...

    Fresh water tank filling issues.

    Some models have a fresh water gauge. On my 330 it's on the wall in the head. Do you have one???

    Grady 307 owners

    I don't have your boat (I have 33 Express) but that list on yours is noticeable. If not center mounted, there are batteries and a fresh water holding tank that can affect list somewhat. I assume your fuel tanks and generator are center mounted. Puzzling???

    Sudden engine shutdown

    I have heard of the fuel lines delaminating and causing the inner liner to collapse choking off fuel flow. Not sure this is your problem, but if your fuel lines are older, could be.

    Battery Recommendation and DYI installation

    Agree with "drbatts" about taking pics before starting project. I use a zip ties to bundle all the cable/wire connections to each battery post. Really helps to keep things organized. If no built-in battery straps on batteries, invest in a good battery strap to pull out old and put in new...

    Boating after dark - options?

    Fully agree with Kirk A. I have boated for over 40 years and still do my best to avoid night piloting. A few comments - the more familiar you are with the route, the better; slow down; have another set of eyes on watch and make sure your horn works; give one crewmember a spotlight to use as...

    Looking to outfit 21' walk around ( a 218 Adventure) with electronics

    I happen to have Simrad - my boat is older and had Simrad when I bought it, so I have remained with Simrad as I upgraded. I've been happy with Simrad. I've heard good things about Garmin, and if I was starting from scratch, probably would lean towards them. In my opinion, finding a good tech...

    How far out in the ocean would you travel from land?

    I fish/cruise in SoCal. Probably from mainland about 60 miles max. But, if I include distance from an island, about 30 - 40 miles.

    Engine speed Question

    I find this question to be interesting because I've heard the same thing about ideal rpm range for engine efficiency. It seems to me that if you make the same comparison to a car engine - the car engine runs on the freeway at about 2500 rpm. But on acceleration or downshifting going up a hill...

    Odd Fuel Gauge Issue

    I may not be understanding your problem, but how much fuel is in the tank? When the fuel level gets real low, it is normal for the last bar showing to begin to blink.

    Is there a way to adjust the windlass speed?

    What type of line are you using? I have tried many and settled on mega-plait line (versus 8-plait that didn't work for me). Regarding hanging up at the connection - it happens. But make sure it's not frayed and was done professionally to minimize the girth of the connection.
