    2012 Freedom 255 forward bilge pump

    I get rain water in my bilge from the retractable cleats and the anchor locker. I never understood why Grady does not seal off the anchor locker and put a bow drain in with a little scoop cover..... , than you can rinse ur anchor line. I never liked the idea of getting salt water from the...

    Rocker Switch Fuse - 2009 307

    (I am no longer using the dome light to power the rear spreader lights because I have the new LED dome light) I ran a wire down the hard top support pipe, to one of the two auxiliary rocker switches on the right side of the dash board for the spreader lights. I put in an “in-line” 10 amp fuse...

    Fresh Water Pressure Low

    I use the treatment. At this point the 2009 boat was new to me last year. Unfortunately I know the prior owner did no maintenance. Boat had only 48 hours on a fresh water lake. I kinda have a feeling that filter has been clogged for a while. Anyway I’ll keep an eye on it. If the filter clogs up...

    Fresh Water Pressure Low

    Just noticed over the weekend that the water pressure coming out of my faucet in the head, stern shower and faucet by the grill is all very weak. I’ve always had good water pressure. I do not see any leaks. I can hear the pump turn on and when I turn the faucet off, the pump turns off shortly...

    Water in bilge

    Yeah all the bilge water in my 307 settles mid to forward. Most of the water comes from the rain through the retractable cleats and the anchor locker. I never understood why Grady never put a clamshell drain for the anchor locker up at the bow.

    Considering purchasing a Freedom 307

    I have a 307. Boat handles well in rough water. I had her out in 5 - 6 footers this Summer with no issues. With the full enclosure u are also protected from the elements. Did you take the boat for a sea trial?

    Tournament 307 Water in Bilge / Anchor Locker

    ....or another option, is a better catch basin for the water that is dripping down. I still want an answer from GW on why their anchor lockers do not have a thru hole at the bottom of the bow by the waterline, so water will bail out directly overboard. This would solve a lot of issues.

    Tournament 307 Water in Bilge / Anchor Locker

    Yes, all bilge areas communicate with a little hole at the bottom of each bulk head. But the water settles mid ship to slightly forward in the head inlet and outlet sea cock compartment with no bilge pump. So when ur "underway", you have water sloshing around in ur bilge from stern to bow and...

    Rain or Leak on Marlin

    Now is the time to see if you have any thru hull leaks. I would manually pump out all the water. Get the bilge dry, wiping up excess water with rags and temporarily put some rags into the bulk head holes, so you isolate if the water is coming from the sea cocks or transducer or from rain...

    Rain or Leak on Marlin

    It appears that all my rain water on my 307 comes through my retractable bow cleats at my bow, which drains into my anchor locker, which drains into my bilge. I do not understand why Grady does not have a self bailing anchor locker. All the water sits in my forward bilge, but not enough to...

    Tournament 307 Water in Bilge / Anchor Locker

    1. I noticed both the aft and forward bilge pumps are not positioned in the "lowest" part of the boat. Most of my bilge water settles about 4 feet to the rear of the forward bilge in the inlet and outlet seacock compartment for the head. In order for the forward bilge to even think about...
