    330 transom rot

    That is a great question, that Grady has not answered to my satisfaction. They told me they haven't experienced any issues once they changed over from the aluminum bang plate (which corroded) to the plastic one. But, Like I said, mine wasn't sealed properly from the factory. I kept the...

    330 transom rot

    That transom is reinforced with a thick aluminum bracket across the top, and angled supports for that bracket running diagonally down to the stringers. You are not likely to get flex (even with the test described above) because of this reinforcement. It has no-rot plywood in it during that...

    Removing Diesel Soot from Hull

    Here is a better idea: keep it from getting on the hull in the first place. I placed a piece of marine hose in the thru-hull that sticks out an inch from the side of the boat. It helps to route the exhaust water clear of the hull and prevents most of the soot from contacting and therefore...

    Vacuflush Head Help

    A bunch of easy little problems, tackle them individually, 1 at a time. If your bowl is dry, then the seal in the bowl is leaking and allowing the vacuum to suck the water out of the bowl and eventually, air. This is why your vacuum pump needs to recycle. As it sucks the water and air in, the...

    External Fuel Pump Fischer Panda 4+

    Thanks for bringing this thread back to life and for your research. I ran into a dead end attempting to find info on a replacement - both from FP and from GW (wanted to put a spare on board). Now I have a direction and will grab one to have in case the original fails.

    330 Express Questions

    Mine, 2007 is 10 gallons. Shallow storage bins = napkins and such. Certainly not the most useful space ever designed.

    My 330 Express Experience

    BTW, one other observation, I have bumper holders in the bow on the vertical for the rail. I have taken to storing the bumpers in the v-berth because they block the forward visibility considerable. You just aren't high enough to see over them and I can't see through them. If I move them back...

    My 330 Express Experience

    My bad: or at least my poor reading comprehension. My numbers are statute, as I use mph instead of knots and nautical miles. I am aware as a boater I should be using knots and nautical but I like to look at the higher mph and better fuel burn. It makes me feel better when I am running!

    My 330 Express Experience

    Your Fuel burn is way off. My '07 with 250s gets 1.0, I've seen 1.1 to 1.2 on the best of conditions super light and as low as what you described when the opposite is true. I had an '06 previously, same numbers. Grady chooses not to put any storage below deck (below water line). Everything...

    HPDI 200 - how smooth should it run at low RPM?

    Since most of the engines we are talking about (all) are not premixed, there is no benefit to Yamalube "preventing condensation in the gas tank. "

    HPDI 200 - how smooth should it run at low RPM?

    2X the oil. I was a religious Yamaha fanatic, ring free/yamalube, but I switched over to a synthetic oil as I found the yamalube created too much buildup and the synthetic burned cleaner.
