    Sandbar Anchor - Suggestions

    The setup that I have used for the same anchoring situation is a claw anchor with about 10ft of chain and 3/8 inch anchor line. It fits in a small bucket and I only bring it on the boat when I'm going to use it. The chain is way overkill for this anchoring situation. However I have found...

    How much 1/2" anchor line fits in the Grady-White marlin 300 anchor box?

    With that much line, you will have to stow it on deck in a laundry basket, Rubbermaid bin or garbage can. Take it with you when you need it, otherwise leave it off the boat as it will take up too much space. Most boats are not going to have the capacity to stow that much line in the anchor...

    Chesapeake 290 Generator Install

    I would try and contact Grady on this and see if they can provide you with any diagrams or pictures. They have been helpful for things like this in the past. It maybe tough to find specific information as the chesapeake didn't have a very long production run. What are you using the...

    Marine Air heat on 330 express

    If the A/c is running and blowing cold air then it shouldn't be a water flow problem. The heat on my 305 works well. Keeps the cabin nice and toasty on those cold days.

    Gulfstream fish table

    Not on a gulfstream but I put a large bait table on the fish box of my 305. Awesome addition if you fish. It bolts on and is removable if needed.

    Your exprience opinion wanted. Express 330

    Without seeing either boat, I would be probably leaning towards the one with the 300's vs. 350's Based on engines. Also the 330 is a big beast to trailer.

    Repowering a 330

    keep what you have and run the boat. Consider the flywheel thing to just be another maintenance item. If it was an earlier model F350, then that's a different story. Use the money for other boat upgrades and fuel.

    Raw water winterization

    For the livewell I take the hose off the pump, then blow out the line with a shop vac. I then pump antifreeze through the line until I see pink in the livewell. For years I just would blow the line out. But a few years back I bought a 110v water pump to winterize the A/C. So now I just pump...

    WTB : Isinglass Enclosure and Boat Cover for 228 Seafarer

    Find a local place to do the enclosure. They will make sure it fits right, and you have someone to go to for fixes down the road. I have been using carver covers for my last 2 expresses and been very happy. The cover goes on for winter storage with supports in the bow. Not a perfect fit but...

    Grady Canyon 306 owner question re shore power

    Your thruster should be wired to one of the battery banks directly. On my 305 which I assume is very similar, the thruster is wired to the second bank. Both battery banks are charged by the outboards.

    Cabins of the 226/228 vs. 232 vs. 248/258 vs. 268

    Going from a 30ft sailboat to one of these smaller walkarounds will be like going from a multi-bedroom house to a studio apartment when you look at cabin size. If your going to overnight on it with multiple people including women, I would opt for a model with an separate and enclosed marine...
