Ski pylons are nice, you can always go old school and use the stern eye bolts with a bridle.

Thx. I find my mileage improves with a little tab, even in FAC conditions. I consistently get 1.6mpg. Each boat runs a little different.

I do this today - for long runs I’ll place type IV pfd on seat and I get preferred sight line. I feel my bow is running optimal position, typically two bars on trim tab with engines trimmed up. Don’t want to push bow lower and drop MPG. My offshore runs are typically 100 - 150 miles round trip.

Thanks for all the suggestions, ideas. Here’s a few pics of my setup.

I’d like to raise the helm chairs on my 306 canyon and curious if anyone has done this modification. I’m 5’10” and would like to improve sight lines over the bow when running. I typically fold up bolster and sit on top of that. This works well for sight lines but not as comfy of a seat. Thanks.

On my 306 Canyon I have remote flush ports in the cockpit next to transom door. The remote flush ports are plumbed to the engine and make flushing engines easy without having to mess with the flush ports on the engine. The trouble is they become hard to use if you do not keep them lubricated.

I saw a nice looking homemade platform last year on a Worldcat that was made out of PVC Sheet / board with two 1" SS tubes underneath for support. It was very stable / strong. The 1" SS pipe sat in a cradle that were attached to the edges of the seats. Very slick install and did not move.

Thanks for the tip re Kent Fabrications. I sent Erik Kent a note and included the picture you shared. Hoping to get one made up this sprint. What degree rod holder did you go with in the bow? I bought two zero degree from Gemlux, yet to install, having buyers remorse after the boat show when...

I’m running 300s.

Hi Capeguy - the second rod holder off the t-top looks like it would solve my rod storage issues. Where did you get it? As for the 1.6 MPG - pretty religious about running boat 3700-3900 RPMs. usually have 2-5 people aboard.

Hi - love to learn more about the divider you made for stern fish box. Any pictures / tips how to do it? I'll be interested in how your bow shade comes out - the bow cover looks great.

Quick update after spending six months in the water - No real marine growth. No need to paint. Just one inch in the water and whatever growth was there easily wiped off when swimming. Thanks!

We just wrapped up our first season with our 2016 Grady White 306 Canyon and wanted to share some impressions. Operating out of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts—an area well known for its rough afternoon seas driven by southwest winds—we logged roughly 2,500 miles. Our trips included offshore...

Very reliable engines. I’d put 50 hours on them to build confidence with them and then no concern running to Bahamas.

Can you share link to the ones on amazon that worked for you?

Many thanks! I’m looking for replacement o-rings and happy to know size and source. I had issues until I used silicon lubricant and now it’s easy on/off without issue. I have two connectors in need of new orings. Thanks again for sharing.

Many thanks! 20% is nice discount.

Yes, same access hatch / windless as your 2018. Good idea on location because they could drain into anchor locker. Next time at boat I’ll evaluate for clearence. Thx.

I’m looking to add one or two rod holders in the bow area on my canyon 306. Primary use is to hold spinning rod as we move around the tuna grounds. I do not plan to fight fish from this rod holder. Thoughts on placement and degree? I plan to buy from Gemlux. Thanks in advance!

First year with my 306. About 2400 miles over 130 hours of engine time.
