    Hypothetically..would you rather

    Started with a lake ski boat; then a 17' Whaler; then a 25' GW Advance; then a 30' GW Marlin; and for the last 13 years I have my last boat, a 330 GW Express. All my boats have been carefully selected used boats. I've enjoyed every boat I've owned, but desires, needs and wants evolve and change...

    2004 33' Grady White Express Light Accessories and Navigation 3 questions

    Agree with all comments above - also, verifying that I replaced nav lights with the Atwood 3500 - 2NM.

    265 first ocean run

    Suggest using autopilot if you have it. If not, you may want to invest in one. Computer keeps adjusting, much faster than you can, to keep your boat straight. Once at desired speed, use tabs to offset weight imbalance. In sloppy, windy conditions, trimming the engines down to get the bow...

    4 Blade Prop on 222

    It would be very odd not to have any prop data stamped on the prop itself. Have you taken the nut and washer off the shaft - sometimes info stamped on the prop collar.

    What size font for vessel name 33 Express Cruiser

    "Start Me Up" uses 5 3/4" high font. My preference is subtle :cool:. Purchased custom name decals thru Boat US - very happy with the quality.

    Inspected Gas Tank Compartment

    Interesting post - great job on the clean-up. I have a 2003 in SoCal and keep wondering when my tanks/fuel hoses may be a problem. Like you, inspections by my mechanic say all is weel. Another question, does anyone know where to buy/find the black push-in nuts that cinch down the...

    HELP WITH Grady 257 2021 Fisherman Fresh Water Leak Found When Servicing

    The freshwater pump should cycle off and on to repressurize the freshwater line after leaking. I have dealt with this problem many times over the years - either a loose connection or bad washer at nozzle (try a different nozzle and see if it helps); or a loose clamp anywhere in the line -...

    Where do you store your cushions?

    If you decide to store the cushions in the head, I would suggest putting some DAMP-RID in the head to fight off mold.

    i do it a few times a year - just spray fresh water to all areas of the tank that I can get to.

    Marine Air Condition, cabin mate 2000

    I'd recommend a marine AC specialist look at it. These units are pretty stout and easily diagnosed by an AC specialist. If not serviced for a while, could just be filters or need a re-charge. The water pump is over 18 years old, if never changed, and could also be the issue.

    Need Insurance Recommendation

    I used to have insurance thru Boat US, but when they partnered with Geico things went downhill. I had the same experience with nonsensical rate increases. I dumped them and went with AAA of SoCal and I'm very happy. Unfortunately, not an option for you back East. Look around, I'm sure it...

    After reading those prices, I went to my slip and petted my 2003 Express 330, promising to treat her well and keep her going forever. :cool:

    Air Conditioning / Heating

    Follow-up. Turns out it was a low voltage problem coming from the generator. I plugged in shore power and all was fine with AC/heat. Now I have to trouble shoot the generator :(.

    Air Conditioning / Heating

    I have a 2003 330 Express. The air conditioner/heater unit has stopped working. The control panel shuts down seconds after startup. I rarely use the system, but I have regularly exercised it during visits to the boat. I have not ever had the unit serviced and all components have never been...
