    Cockpit bolster shop - Long Island

    Looking to get my bolsters (and helm area cushions) redone. Anyone have a great experience with any companies on Long Island? Want it to look factory original. Thanks for any feedback.

    House Battery not enough for all the electronics today ?

    I have 4 batteries on my 330, set up as Grady did from factory (2 banks of 2 batteries). All 4 are group 27. I just changed the two house bank batteries to deep cycle because of your exact issue. Prior to that they were starting batteries. The other two have the windlass and bow thruster...

    Can you explain what you mean by "he found a hook, in the hull, near the transom?"

    330 Express cockpit deck drains

    I didn't realize one was a mixer and the other, the shower head (I thought it was 2 shower heads). That is a nice set up and one I will likely copy. Did you have enough with the drop in box just in front of that? How much depth do they take up? I would prefer to keep by ladder/transom door.

    2000 Grady 272 Sailfish - Listing to Starboard

    This is not uncommon and have read numerous reports of the same. Grady has done a "good" job of balancing items (batteries to port when hot water heater is to starboard) but the 330's and others can have a list. I overcame mine with a water bladder (used often for wakeboarding boats) on the...

    330 Express cockpit deck drains

    I am looking at a shower with mixing valve to get any temp I want. My hot is too hot without cold being mixed in. As far as inspection ports, I would love to know/see if anyone has done them on the vertical, as I would prefer mine there if it makes the job possible. (even if more difficult)...

    330 Express cockpit deck drains

    My '07 has cold only, at the transom, on the starboard side right near the electric hook up, go figure. With this location, it might allow access to those scupper hose changes (the original post). But the upgrade is simple since there is already a cool water line and the hot water heater is...

    330 Express cockpit deck drains

    Anyone try to replace the transom shower head with a larger, hot and cold unit? Doing that might provide enough space to replace the deck drain hoses, give you a hot shower at the stern (once you run a hot water hose to it), and not require an additional plate? Asking because this is an...

    Marlin head/waste tank discharge questions

    That set up does not have a macerator. It simply has a bellows pump out run by a windshield wiper motor.

    Marlin head/waste tank discharge questions

    First see if pump is moving when you turn the key. Yes moving = problem with either diaphragm or duck bill valves as mentioned. No, not moving = either problem with electric getting to motor or motor itself. Check with test light at the plug near motor if you are getting current. Yes =...

    2004 Yamaha F225 exhaust problems

    I just did exhaust on my 2 F250's (07 boat, 06 manufacture date). One was perfect, the other exhaust tube was shot, go figure. There is little rhyme or reason to what motors it will happen to. It spans all years, most motors, an inherent problem with this dry exhaust and, IMO, Yamahas...

    2004 Yamaha F225 exhaust problems

    Water is not supposed to be coming down the exhaust tube. It is a dry exhaust and a separate chamber from the cooling water. If water is in the center exhaust port, it can only get there because there is an issue.

    2004 Yamaha F225 exhaust problems

    There was a class action lawsuit over this, Yamaha won. In answer to your original question, you have 2 choices with that block. 1) you can have aluminum added on. That isn't easy and requires someone who knows what they are doing, as that aluminum is already contaminated (with oil, salt...

    Need photo of 2008 or newer 330

    What is the benefit to the ladder you want to change to? I personally prefer the style on my 2007 as it allows you to put your foot into it from the side whish is particularly helpful if you have dive fins on but also more convenient even if you don't. Curious as to the perceived benefits...

    Insurance Recommendation Needed

    I was also dropped this year due to previous insurance company getting out of the boat business. My new policy from Progressive was comparable. But, like was already said, they would not increase the agreed upon value. Will only insure for what I originally asked for (100K) as they said the...

    Bleaching panels?

    Possible wet-sand/buff gel coat around the hatches to bring its luster back to match the new gel coat.

    What could Grady do better?

    Agreed. The transom bang plate is, in my opinion, their greatest flaw. It isn't quality of life issues but rather an inherent weak spot for rot issues. Grady is definitely not a hardcore fishing boat. I have owned a 24 Offshore, 28 Sailfish, 30 Marlin, and 33 Express, with various other...
