I added a 2000GPH rule to the rear bilge area in my 270. I put it on bracket that's 1" off the floor. its wired to the unswitched side of the house battery, (always on) with its own dedicated float switch. I ran the hose to the port side with the other thru hull discharges. it also powers a...

my 04 270 came with an Edison knob. nice heavy stainless with what appears to be some sort of plastic ball bearings. needs an occasional lube spray but it spins like a skateboard wheel

28 ft CC with a 16 degree dead rise and a port side party door? I got a little excited to hear of a new 28ft Grady but I think they missed the mark. so not an offshore boat, is it supposed to be a sandbar cruiser?

many reasons, but redundancy, manuverability, better handling, traction and hole shot...and the fact that my boat would be anemic with a single engine. you won't hit 50mph with a single 225 on a 270 ive run a single main with a 9.9 on several different boats. ez steer was ok but not amazing...

really should have addressed that bang cap when the motors were off., and the cracks are telltale of rot or delamination... but id love to hear your performance numbers. mpg wot etc

I run twins with no kicker. Did 926 miles last year, with a lot of weekends trolling, two 7 day trips, one overnighter. I finished up with 95 and 90 hours on each engine this year. and I spent a lot of days fishing... to me I think ive hit the sweet spot. any less hours and im still doing...

my 270 gets a wet bilge too. one trip I heard the forward bilge cycling every hour or so as I was sleeping. The next day I found the live well hose coming out of the pump had cracked at the hose barb and was peeing a stream into the bilge. ive fixed that leak but I still find a little water...

those do look good... one of those moments where I pondered, why didn't I think of that!?!?

lol. I received a quote from my local Canadian plastics place. a 14x20x16" tank built from 3/8" hdpe came in at 1660$ CAD. ( that would be 20 gals, double the size of OEM)... there is just no way im going to spend that. looks like im just going to seal up that split fitting and forget about...

I wish someone had a cad file for them, id love to have a set

being LDPE silicone or any sealant won't adhere. I do like the aluminum plate idea.... but I dislike the idea of having to go inside the tank to install it...

This is the groco shipt tank The spin weld fitting for the level sensor has popped on one side. The sensor doesn’t work anyways. I’ll look into the scad units. But I was thinking I need a bulkhead fitting that’s solid ( no hole) to dis that. Or should I try plastic welding? Would a...

270 islander - I've got a cracked spin weld fitting in the top of my groco black water tank, makes for some stanky smells in the boat. the macerator pumps works really well, but I likely need to replace the sani hoses. Is there anyway to repair a cracked spin weld fitting in the top of the...

great write up. My tanks on the 270 are opposite yours, 150 gal in the rear, 50 up front. Im finding a bit of red stain around top of my tank (dyed fuel) so im thinking of replacing my tanks too. do you think the removing the smaller 50 gal forward tank on the 270 will still need the...

I replaced my two guest battery switches with blue sea systems 5511e dual pole switches. fit with zero modifications. same flush mount holes, same fasteners etc.

spoken like a true four stroker! that's premixed fuel/oil for the 2 stroke motors. x2 on the fill cap o rings. I had to syphon out 3 or 4 gallons of water from my tanks.

I've found I get the best finish using a jig saw with a Bosch Progressor wood blade like (below). it has zero tooth set so makes a smooth cut.... and you can take it to the belt sander to radius /sand the corners. but for straight cuts use the table saw. I have no experience tracing patterns...

I've found mine is sensitive to people walking around while under way. I've had to tell a few people to sit down and stay (bad dog), so I don't have to keep chasing their weight with trim tabs. just the nature of the beast with a narrow beam and 18degree dead rise

too much tabs or motors trimmed in all the way will cause the boat to want to sit on one side or the other. tabs up, trim up generously, then minimal tab to trim side to side if needed.
