Thanks Elyse, Black Pearl for the info. I did contact power tech regarding the props - just $500 per !! I think I will look into it further Thanks Shortround

I have a 2007 360 express with triple 250 engines with the stock 3 blade props provided from the factory. I was wondering if anyone have thoughts/experience with 4 bladed props on these engines and boat. Good/bad - no difference in performance? I was told that the economy would get better, the...

I owned the exact boat - 92 Explorer and repowered with a F250 with no problems at all

We installed 6 rod holders along the transom of our 360. The holders were welded along an aluminum pipe with 3 mounting areas which was thru bolted. It required someone with long thin arms to reach up from the bilge area(next to generator) to hold the nuts and washers while someone else screwed...

This past fall we purchased a new 07 leftover 360. Late March we put her over and have about 20 hrs under our belt. I was expecting the boat to be a little sluggish with the triple 250's based on comments others have made but I have found that so far they provide ample power. Of course the...

I was mostly happy with the Nav2. Two problems that drove me crazy - 1. the chartplotter constantly was redrawing - by that I mean maybe every minute or so. 2. I had a 10" and 7" display - the 7" was never as bright as the 10" display. As a note - I was told that they are no longer making the...

bc282, I had Furuno Navnet2 on the boat I just sold. I liked the product whith the exception of a few things. I am aware of their quality as well as their good CS. For the new boat I was looking at the Navnet3 but did not like the look of the charts. Did not have enough contrasting color. So as...

Anyone have experience with the new Simrad NSE product and customer service supporting it ? Need electronics for new boat and was impressed with the Simrad but a little worried about the company backing it up. Thanks, Shortround

Just purchased a new 07 left over 360 and was wondering what other owners are using the slide out closet @ entrance to mid berth for other than what it was intended? I just don't see us using it for hanging clothes. I am thinking of building some sort of adjustable shelving insert for lighter...

So are we saying that the helm air just takes the "edge" off in the heat of the summer? I did a search on the boat it it seems as though there are those that think the triple 250's are a little under powered? Can an adult actually sleep on the lowered dinette area? Thanks for all the info...

Considering purchasing an 07 360 with triple F250's. Was wondering if other owners could answer a few questions. Realistic fuel burn?, How many adults can it sleep comfortably?, Does helm air make a big difference(how well does it work)?, How many adults can sit in the helm area? Any other...

Can any fellow Grady owners recommend a fishing charter in the Groton/Mystic/NewLondon area? My son and I are making a visit to the area in late September Thanks, Dave R.

I am considering installing a furuno 511 auto pilot on my new boat (Marlin). I am installing all other furuno equipment - fish finder, chartplotter and radar with overlay capabilities. If I use the furuno auto pilot I will save on the cost of the compass which can be used for both the radar...

My dealer said to run 1 tank at a time - use stabilizer - and alternate. On the Marlin both tanks are the same size - I assume placed one in front of the other as opposed to side by side. I don't know the correct answer hence I'm asking.

How do you guys handle your fuel usage with twin tanks - one tank for one engine one for the other, or both engines on same tank and then switch? Also - If you use one tank at a time do you alternate week to week so the gas doesn't sit? At what point do you switch tanks - 80% empty? This...

How do AP's deal with obstacles? Here in the upper Chesapeake Bay there are tons of crab buoys

Could someone enlighten me as to the benefits of having auto pilot other than the obvious - being able to temporaily leave the wheel and still hold course as well as keeping the course as straight as possible. I am not suggesting that these 2 items are not valuable when on the water but is there...

I was wondering what every one else uses the shallow compartment in the deck as entering the helm area for? Seems too shallow for lines, shore power cord, umbrella rigs or whatever. I will be taking delivery on my new boat sometime in late march and as can be expected I am at the dealer every...

Shortround Dave 08 300 Marlin twin Yamaha 250's

I just purchased a new 08 Marlin with F250's. All my buddies have congradulated me - however I'm not so sure its congradulations or condolenses - due to the economy!!! All kidding aside we are thrilled and can't wait till the season starts. I've owned a 24 explorer since purchase new in 92...
