    Seakeeper Ride on Grady 235

    Too funny. I'm getting old and cranky... I don't relate to people that buy a 28 foot or less boat and expect it to ride like a 50 footer.

    Replacing the DC 440

    I assume they have both an ac and dc input. There may not be a ac line to the fridge (GW was 12v only. Need to either tap the 120v stove or run a line. The 12V systems run off the batteries that are charged when the boat is connected to shore power.

    Water in Sailfish

    Change deck plates to screw in models and seal well when installing. Anchor rode will allow water into the bilge, Hardtop stanchions and cup holders that drain into the bilge are other things to look at. The cockpit scuppers drain to thru holes aft sides. You may have dry rot on the hoses or...

    Replacing Air Conditioning - 330 Express

    Likely gonna be doing some mousing on the replacement. The units seem to change configuration every few years and GW probably shoe horned it in there.. Likely hard to find a direct replacement. Let us know how you make out.

    Replacing the DC 440

    I believe the stock fridge ran on 12VDC, I'd prob look for the same input voltage. When connected to shore power it was charged via the battery charger. If you go with AC only, you'll need a genset when running. You could tap the stove wiring I guess...

    216 Fisherman Console Access (2021)

    I'm betting on lift the panel with 4 "Z Clips" for flush mounting. Can always shoot GW Cust Service via the web a question.

    Seakeeper Ride on Grady 235

    These devices are designed to provide stabilization while underway, your post states trim tabs so I assume that is your use case. I'm not sold on these devices on small boats but only have limited input from a guy that has one on a 25'er. I'd look long and hard at my hours in the boat per...

    Wanted 330 Express 2017 or Newer

    I'd say with the recent redesign, there may be more for sale and prices may be a tad lower. Honestly who knows, but the 34'er is a nice layout.

    Thinking about removing the Manual SureShade

    At least it is manual. I hear nothing but bad things from my dealer with the motorized ones. Seems like every time I see him the topic of staying away from them comes up.

    Yamaha tach not getting signal

    I'd be fine with it. Run it and see how it goes. It's not a critical failure mechanism so don't sweat it too much.

    GW Freedom 307 Rod Holders

    A bunch of folks have. Search the Mod/Upgrade section. Its fairly straight forward. You need to pay attention to what is under the gunnel and make sure where you drill has sufficient back side room, You should use backing plates if possible, any size will help. Get the right angle for the...
