    330 water in the bildge

    Have you checked your deck drain hoses? They are notorious for rotting out and also for being rather difficult to change out. But if they are leaking you definitely want to address. There are a few threads on here on how to do it -- my marine cut access plates on the transom.

    330 Express Transducers

    I have the Airmar B175HW, which has a wider cone than the 175H, but doesn't reach as deep. I'm primarily using it for fishing for tuna nearshore and offshore cape cod, and it works really well. Incredible definition and decent performance underway.

    Boating after dark - options?

    One thing to note - people's boating conditions and risk tolerances vary wildly. I hear of folks running happily at full speed at night on rivers and also others who won't go past no-wake speed at night and only with 2 extra lookouts. A lot depends on local conditions. Where I fish offshore (off...

    330 Express TV Antenna Location

    No - on the hard top! Actually I found the original pictures from when I purchased the boat. I may be mistaken - the TV antenna may be the big round disk on the left in the picture below (Glomex). The thing I was originally thinking of was labeled "SHIPMATE"

    330 Express TV Antenna Location

    Maybe it was an option that wasn't installed? My '03 had an aftermarket antenna (1ft x 3inch cylinder as I recall) tha I removed... But I just installed Starlink on the hard top and it's a game changer... Full speed video streaming.

    ACR PLB vs InReach Mini

    I have both - very different use cases. May ditch the inreach though in favor of Starlink!

    purging air after new fuel tank

    You'll just use the in-line hand-squeeze priming pump to push fuel all the way to the motor where there's a valve that lets air out but not fuel. Will take a bit of pumping, especially if you have an in-line fuel/water separator filter, but eventually you will be able to pump it until the bulb...

    2004 Grady White 33 Express Cruiser Garmin Transducer

    I don't have a picture, but it's mounted wide of the generator and air conditioning thru-hulls, accessible through the main deck hatch... It's the 20 degree tilt and I purchased from BOE Marine. It's kinda huge!

    2004 Grady White 33 Express Cruiser Garmin Transducer

    I have both the GT51TH mounted on the centerline as in the above picture but also the Airmar B175HW. I almost always use the B175HW as it gives amazing definition and resolution compared to the GT51, but of course it doesn't do side scan. The 175 also does pretty well at planing speeds.

    33 express generator

    Good point - it probably cycles on and off, so average consumption may be a lot less. But regardless, every inverter setup I've seen uses a separate battery bank...

    33 express generator

    Here's the rough math: 8.1 amps of 110 Volts AC is about 900 Watts. So you'll need a minimum 1,000 Watt inverter. If your inverter were 100% efficient you would need 75 amps of 12 Volts DC to power a 900 Watt device. (900 divided by 12), but inverters are only about 90% efficient so you'll need...

    16 Inch Simrad Evo3S on 330 Express - Do they fit?

    I took some fairly precise measurements on my 2003 when I updated the electronics. May be helpful!

    Remote Spot and Aft Lights - Good or Bad idea?

    I have a forward facing light bar and 2 very wide angle aft facing spreaders all from black oak LED. I use the light bar when picking my out of my harbor at night and am always super-careful about not blinding other boaters. The spreaders get used on the open ocean when trolling. I consider them...

    Grady 330, f300 outboards best mount height and propeller type and size

    Hey a quick thought: are you certain you have 89+ octane gas in the tanks? The 300's require 89 whereas the 250's only need 87. The 300's will detune themselves if you use 87 octane...
