    Question for the Sand-Bar people

    I assume your canyon transom ladder is similar to my 305. With the telescoping ladder and transom door. I actually much prefer this setup to what I had on my 265. Are you looking for an additional handle on the left side going up? As there is a nicely placed handle on the top of the...

    330 battery charger wiring

    If your boat is wired like my 305 you most likely have 2 battery banks each with 2 batteries wired in parallel. therefore, only 2 banks of your charger are being used. you will need to look at the wiring on your boat to confirm this. wiring can be changed by people over time. That being said...

    325 freedom electronics/dash upgrade Garmin 8617, Sionyx nightwave

    The size difference between the 12-inch vs he 17-inch screens is massive. Wish I could fit them in my boat. I also upgraded both my screens this year and mounted them on black acrylic. Everyone who has seen it has loved the look.

    Bathroom Switch on 04’ 330 express

    A fan. Or at least the similar switch on my 305 is for the fan. Unscrew it and take a look.

    express 265 autopilot install

    My 265 had a Simrad AP in the same location. the pump was behind the drawers to the left. The compass was mounted in the same compartment but higher up on the forward bulkhead. The compass was more easily accessible by removing the deck plate at the helm. The computer was mounted in the helm...

    Tidal Slip Equipment

    Slip looks small for a 28 ft boat. If the boat is high and dry for 2 hours each tide cycle it is probably another 1-2 hours before you have navigable water to go in and out. timing trips is going to be a PITA. Also what happens when the boat is high and dry and tips over to the dock side ?

    Grady 305 Express Transom Help

    In researching 305's before I bought mine, I didn't see any transom issues reported. This could be because it was a newer model with a short production run. So, there were only a small number of boats that were made and haven't had a chance to have transom issues yet. In conversations with...

    Gunwale / Rear box height - Marlin

    Not sure on exact height, however 30 inches stick in my head from when I built a bait table for the top of the fish box. On my 305 the table is mounted on 2 inch blocks. It could probably use an additional 6-8 inches to make it a comfortable height. However it works as is. Eventually I...

    With a soft bottom roll up inflatable i have done a few longer runs (13-15 mi) at slow cruise speed mid 20's. I took the engine off and the dingy tracked well behind the boat.

    Towing inflatable

    My hard bottom inflatable I will tilt the engine up(15hp). That being said a couple of time we got hit with a big wake and the engine dropped. Didn't make a big difference. If I'm towing the hard bottom its usually just to a local island a couple miles away and at slow speeds.

    Towing inflatable

    How I do it on my 305 would probably work on your 330. I have a bridle for the front of the dingy and use a multi-colored tow line made for a towing a tube. For short distances at slow speeds I usually just cleat it off to one of the stern cleats. For longer distances at higher speeds I...

    Fish box insulation (306 canyon)

    The rear fish box on your 306 is probably similar to the fish box on my 305. Its fairly well insulated and will hold a TON of ice. If you pack it full of ice it will be for fine 12+ hours offshore. I also throw some large frozen water bottles in to help keep it cold.

    Treat a Holding Tank Regularly ?

    Like everyone else said. Always use holding tank treatment. Lots of options for this. Whenever I do a pump out. I will usually do a freshwater flush then pump it out. My current boat has a freshwater head which makes a big difference in keeping it “fresh” compared to a saltwater head on...
