    Sharrow Props

    There's lots of products we buy for our boats that we will never get the money back out of...As a group, we boat owners just piss away money. If normal folks knew the real truth, most would say we were insane. And don't even get me started if our wives actually found out the truth. I'm among...

    Sharrow Props

    I volunteer to be the first V8 verado powered 330 express to run sharrow props. Sharrow can PM me for the address to send my free props to! If they get 15% better speed at 4500 rpm I'll even pay full retail! lol

    Sharrow Props

    I've also seen the tests. where do they show how these test boats were optimized with conventional props before they were tested against sharrow? I'd love to give them a try but I'd hate to get banged for 10K and find out they are 5% better lol

    Winterize salt water washdown

    I do the same. I disconnect the hose as close to the seecock as possible then blow it out with air.

    Spot light recommendations

    same here... my canal has some BS ligthts at the end but you can't see them till you are about 10 feet away. they are solar powered and prob cheap. I had a remote light on hardtop but took it off to put the radar there. thinking about relocating that to the pulpit

    Repower 330

    I bet a spare ecu would solve that issue. Swap the factory one back if you need service.

    Repower 330

    If you are going with yamaha, then get the 250's and flash them as the other guy suggested... of course try it out first and you may find you don't need it. I was torn on the gauges. In the end I bought a newer 12" simrad and had them link it with the mercury engines. I like having all that...

    2004 GW Express Cruiser Sink, Water Tank and Transducer questions

    I also have an '04. I also need to do my fresh water sensor as it does not work lol. On transducers, you could have anything at this point. Even if you have all OE ducers and MFD's, I don't believe grady rigged them with all the same stuff. As far as I could tell, mine came new with the stand...

    Hot Water Heater 265 Express

    I agree with this-but it can be a self fulfilling prophesy. not ever cycling it can lead to it not sealing the one time you do try it. If you have one that you don't know the history on or if your'e sure it's never been cycled- then yes I agree don't touch it if you can avoid it. better yet...

    Grady White 330 Express Bow Thruster - Replacement

    That's a lot of issues for a piece of equipment that rarely fails. these things go for years and years with only minor issues. time to peel back the onion and figure out what's really happening. crusties setting up shop in the thruster tunnel? you replaced "everything" what does that mean...

    preparing to enter market

    Since the 30 Marlin hasn't changed much in 20 years, there are a lot to choose from. Don't be afraid of an older hull that's been repowered-as long as it surveys ok . Early 2000's that got repowered 4/5 years ago will probably the best bang for your buck as they have some hours and the...

    Marlin prop size

    I'd start with checking the engine mounting height. Antiventilation plates should be right on the water surface while at planing speed. I found the easiest way to figure it out is to take a 15/20 second video and then screen shot it. Trying to stay still and actually snap a pic is nearly...

    Indicator Lights on the AC Main Panel not working

    maybe the lights can be changed? I know they are NOT part of the breaker as I had to change one and there wasn't any light on it.

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    I'm almost 2 seasons in and it's holding up fine. couple of bites here and there but nothing crazy. As I said earlier in the initial post, I always have the option of peeling it off and painting- so000.....the wrap is coming off this winter and I'm getting the boat painted. Awlgrip Stars and...

    Tinning Corroded Wire

    I have been using non insulated crimps for years. you can get a really good crimp on those without the BS bargain basement plastic insulator on them. I follow up with heat shrink. I also use delphi weatherpack connectors every chance I get. gasketed where the wires enter each side and where...

    How to "upgrade" fuel gauge?

    I repowered from old 4 stroke yamahas with round gauges to verados. I just got a simrad 12" nssevo3, I assume they adapted my existing senders because I get all my fule readings on the Simrad as well as all the engine management. total game changer being able to customize how I want to view...
