    Boat cover for 2012 Freedom 275 with hardtop????

    For my 305 I have an off the shelf cover from PM winter boat covers. The cover is made by carver. Its not a perfect fit but does the job. Its currently on the boat for its 9th New England winter. Its not a perfect fit as there are small exposed area above the gunnel on both sides about mid...

    Grady 330 Express vs 300 Marlin

    A lot depends on what years of boats your looking at. Both models have had long runs with many changes during those production runs. Earlier model 330's did have moisture problems on the sides and earlier models of both had wooden transoms which could be a problem. I currently have a 305 but...

    2017GW 330express TV

    Does it have to be 12v? I assume your 330 has both shore power and a generator.

    Flush mount rod holders on bow for shade poles?

    Not very familiar with your boat. But from the pictures it looks like your going to have to figure out drainage for what ever rod holder or fitting you choose. If you have cup holders up there you may be able to tap into those drainage lines.

    Towing Inflatable

    Assuming you mean the engine on the dingy. For short distances of a couple miles in protected waters I have done both. I usually tilt it up though. For longer distances I just take the engine off and stow it in the cockpit. This would also depend on how big the engine is too. I have a...

    Bait Cutting Board

    Rod holder ones never fit perfectly. If you want a solid mounted cutting board then you will have to find a different way to mount it. Magma makes legs and receptacle to mount the boards. This is what I did on my old 265. Now I have a large cutting board mounted on my fish box lid. It is...

    Air conditioning install on express 265

    Probably stuck using a portable generator on a 265. I don’t know where you would find room under the deck for an install of permanent mounted one.

    265x Third bank batteries

    On my 265 the house battery was on the starboard side next to the battery for the starboard engine. The switches were next to each other in the same compartment.

    Replacing cup drain plugs on a Freedom 307

    The old broken plastic fitting should just pop out. I did a couple on my boat, I cut the hose at the end of the old fitting, removed the broken piece in the hole. then pass the hose through the hole and attached the new part and popped it back into the hole with a little force.

    Options to Protect Teak/Holly Floor

    We use a rubber backed bath matt on the teak and holly floor in the cabin. Its not a perfect fit but pretty close. Its machine washable and pretty good at trapping debris.

    Pop-up Electronics Enclosure G/W 330

    Are you sure you have to get at the mounting screws in the back to replace the display? I just replaced both garmins on my 305 which should be similar. The old units were screwed in from the front. I just popped of the trim around the displays and the screws were right there. The new units...

    Islander 268 and Garmin Reactor 40 autopilot

    Its not an islander but I do have a Garmin reactor 40 and smart pump in my 305. I installed it 5 years ago and is the best autopilot I have had in any boat. It holds course at any speed and in any sea state. I have had to go through the setup phase a few times, but nothing compared to a...

    Question for the Sand-Bar people

    I assume your canyon transom ladder is similar to my 305. With the telescoping ladder and transom door. I actually much prefer this setup to what I had on my 265. Are you looking for an additional handle on the left side going up? As there is a nicely placed handle on the top of the...
