Looking to upgrade our 2007 4ft Raymarine open array. Currently trying to decide on another open array vs. dome style. Obviously looks matter so the open array wins there but price wise, not so much. Use: 305 express spending weekends in Chesapeake bay. Some evening travel, some rainstorms...

Just upgrade props on our 2007 305 Express twin Yamaha 250’s from original Yamaha saltwater series 15-1/4x19 to Power Tech OSF4 15-1/4x15 and man what a difference. Boat was sluggish out of the hole and would only get up to 5600 rpm wot, now she jumps out of the hole and wot is right at 6000...

Did a little project today, always hated the primer bulbs outside the rigging tubes so I got new rigging tube, rigging flanges and the hard plastic rigging grommet( I guess that’s what it’s called) that attaches to engine and replaced them. Moved the primer bulbs to the inside of the transom and...

Anyone replaced the freshwater hoses with PEX hose? This last season i kept having to tighten hose clamps to stop tiny leaks, so was going to replace all lines with new hose, clamps and tees but then thought about the PEX tubing. Would be easier to work with and have no hose clamps to deal with.

Unfortunately season has come to an end for us but finally got to install out Fisher Canvas cover and can say it is awesome. Took awhile to get it figured out the first time but could not be happier. I figure if I can get at least 5 years out of it then it will pay for itself versus shrink...

Just curious if anyone has relocated the Fuel primer balls from outside the engine splash well to inside bilge area before the fuel hoses exit through rigging tube? I feel it’s ugly and not needed to have them outside the boat. Only time you would hopefully need them is after replacing fuel...

Trying to find a replacement air conditioning unit for our 305 Express and so far no luck for a direct replacement. Seems the newer units all have the compressor on the left side if evaporator which i don't see working out. The original unit is a Dometic VRD7K/2-GW and is made so the evaporator...

Those of you with cockpit coolers do you notice one side gets much colder than the other. On my 305 express the plates are exposed, on the port cooler the front plate gets ice on it and on the rear fish box the rear plate gets ice. The other two plates get cold but no ice. Just curious if that’s...

Going to be replacing the enclosure on our 305 Express at the beginning Of next season and want to change from the navy color to ivory and was curious how well does the ivory color hold up. Does it get dirty, stain easily, is it easy to clean? I really think the ivory color looks great and from...

Fixed our water leak that was coming into the aft berth. That black box piece with the black corrugated tube is the bathroom vent and used to be the other way around. The black tube used to go into the bottom rear corner, when it rained or if we had a lot of spray from starboard side water would...

Current boat has a Raymarine autopilot and it does not want to hold a course, the heading on the display is always off from the magnetic compass and will just start drifting to one side and take forever to come back if it does. Going to test the fluxgate compass this weekend which I think might...

Some of the screws on our 2007 305 Express that hold the rocker switch panel and gauge cluster do not want to come out and a few are broke off. I assume the nut inserts are just spinning inside the fiberglass. How the hell do you get to the backside of them? Do you have to remove the entire...

Any tips for removing hard water spots on a glass windshield? Just want to see if anyone has any tips before I start buying stuff that doesn’t work.

Just finished out 310 mile trip home and loved it. Boat handled great and everything went good. Couple questions The fuel selectors for the main and auxiliary tank where should they be position wise? The guy we got her from left them both in the on position and seemed to work fine. Both gauges...

Has anyone replaced the interior light bulbs on a 305 express or similar boat. I pulled down the round housing and the housing that the bulb fits into has t75 120v written on it. The bulb is a small 2 pin bulb, I am having a hard time finding them. They seem to put off a good bit of heat when on...

Anyone with a 305 express could you measure the width of the hardtop at the back and from back side of hardtop to the rear edge of the fish box on transom. Want to order a aft shade cover but don’t have access to the boat right now. Any help would be great.

Looking for any tips when running the ICW up from Wanchese NC, what types of speeds do boats generally run, is there a lot junk floating, is there anything too look out for? Possibly getting a boat and would run it from there up into the Chesapeake Bay towards Annapolis. Any tips would be great.

In the original brochure for the 2007 GW 305 Express it says lockaable door with screen and companion way hatch. Does anyone know about this screen? Is it built into those small slots in the door or something that goes over door when open? In the process of getting a 305 and just wanted to see...
