    330 Express: Rod Storage INSIDE cabin?

    The other thread got me thinking. I have 4 rod holders mounted in the headliner of the cabin, and typically leave another 4 regularly used rods lying on the bed for storage. However, most of my setups are 6' in length, so there is technically room for them standing inside the cabin. Has...

    Rusting helm A/C? Webasto FCF unit spitting rust at me.

    A few years back I retrofitted a Webasto FCF platinum A/C unit to provide helm air on my 330. I effectively installed this exactly the way Grady does, with the unit and intake under a seat, and used the oem grady panel for air outlet that blows across the cabin doorway at the helm. It would be...

    330s or other walkarounds with painted hulls - let's see your pics!

    Thinking of putting my 2002 GW 330 in for paint next month. My topsides have faded far from the typical beige grady, but thinking about one of the modern Grady hull colors to keep it looking updated. I'd be very interested to see your GW express boats with painted hulls! I'm thinking about...

    That stupid windshield washer valve (330)

    Ok, for the second time, I walked into my cabin and discovered it was raining freshwater from above. After a year of being screwed shut, my stupid dash mounted windshield washer valve started leaking again, now I see it had a slow leak out the front but apparently also pressurized the outlet...

    330 Cabin door vents... How were these supposed to work?

    So on my 2002 330 Express, the cabin door has four black starboard "vents" inset into it on the inside. The black starboard panels have slats cut into them for ventilation. When you remove these, there is normal house screen behind them (this makes sense, for bugs etc) However, there's a second...

    Anyone done seadek etc on a 330 Express?

    I've been putting down some of the cheap amazon faux-teak EVA foam ($70 a sheet) and so far am happy with it, at least enough to think about moving forward with a more expensive solution. I'm thinking about seadek or one of the others for the helm area or cockpit of my 2002 330. I'm...

    330 Express: Great place for a backup-backup-backup bilge pump

    I was suffering from a pretty wet stinky bilge in my 330 express, for a number of different reasons. But mostly, the 1500 gph rule pumps that were in there would still leave about an inch of water sitting in the bilge. As I was digging around, I discovered the aft floor compartment in my aft...

    Installed a portable AC/Dehumidifier on my 330

    Down here in S Florida it is hot and humid 10 months out of the year, and raining every other day on top of that. My neighbor has a 26' walkaround and every time he opens it up he's greeted with mildew, mold, etc on every surface. Not what I wanted to deal with on my first boat with a cabin...

    Need some quick help from a newer 330 owner with helm A/C

    I'm in the process of retrofitting helm AC to my 2002 GW 330. I'm aware there were notable changes to the cockpit cap over the years. I'm trying to figure out, if this new cup holder / helm AC panel will fit my boat with minimal modifications. Anyone out there with a newer GW 330 who is...

    Who makes the cockpit cooler (Freezer plate) thermostats / units?

    I've just finished bending an webasto/istotherm freezer plate to install in the port under-seat cooler on my Grady 330. By the specs, it should easily be able to refrigerate that compartment, and possibly freeze the whole thing depending on how good the insulation really is. I went with an air...

    Are the 330 (or other express) overhead cabin rod holders practical/useful?

    My new-to-me 330 didn't come with the hardware for the overhead rod holders in the cabin - but the wood blocks (and screws?) are still there. Are these useful to hold midsize trolling gear? Are they practical for regular storage or a total pain in the neck? I keep the boat behind my house and...

    Stumbling across wasted space while crawling around my 330...

    I've spent a few weekends disassembling my new-to-me 2002 330 and am really surprised at how much space seems to be inaccessible or wasted... feels like in many cases Grady was trying to make the boat look finished at the expense of a fair bit of room. This isn't a criticism of Grady, I saw a...

    330 Express: How to run wires from TV/Stereo to helm? (Also: TV install on starboard wall)

    I'm stumped. I'm trying to connect a NMEA 2000 cable from the stereo (original location, above the TV) to the helm where my NMEA bus is. I can get the wire anywhere I want on the port side of the boat - but can't figure out how to cross over to the starboard side so I can go up the helm wiring...

    Microwave for a 2002 330 Express?

    I give up, I've looked high and low, but seems like the shortest microwave I can find is 10.2" high. This is about a quarter inch taller than I can comfortably fit in my original 2002 330 galley. (I tried, no amount of shoving will fit the 10.2" microwave through the 10" hole. Do I have to...

    Just picked up a 2002 330 Express

    Just picked up a 2002 330 express.. All the major systems were good but our 17 hour shakedown cruise home revealed a handful of issues. Most comical was freshwater raining down from the ceiling in the cabin, finally discovered the windshield washer hose this afternoon. All the major systems...
