    Transom Failure Incidents

    As Grady-White Owners, I know we all fret and worry about our "wet transoms". We obsess over the bang cap, and worry about wet rot, weakened transoms and the like. Of course, hired Marine Surveyors scare us with their inspection reports (rightfully so I suppose). My question here is - who on...

    Inspected Gas Tank Compartment

    My 330 Express is a model year 2006. Since the boat was built, the fuel tank deck plate has never been removed. So the other day, I lifted the deck plate off to do an inspection. While, I have rinsed the tank compartment with freshwater from time to time, I wanted to see if I had any issues...

    330 Express Windlass Breaker Question

    I have owned my 2006 330 now for 12 years and am embarrassed to ask this question now. Hopefully someone here can set me straight. In the port stern cockpit are the Battery Selector switches. On each side of each Battery Switch is a RED circle looking thing. About the size of a quarter or...

    What Props for a 330 with F300's?

    I will be doing a repower this Summer on my 2006 330 Express. Wondering if anyone has some real world experience on their propeller selection on a 330 with twin Yamaha 300's. I'm thinking Yamaha's Salt Water Series in a 17 pitch, 3 blade, is a good place to start. Curious what others think in...

    Gas Cap Lock

    I once had these key lock inserts that went into the space beneath the screw on gas cap. The idea is to prevent a siphon from going down into your tank. I misplaced the ones I had. Anyone know of the manufacturer and PN that fits a 330 gas intake? Probably to the same for most Gradys...

    Best Way to Remove Diesel Soot

    Just finished a 3M Polish + Collinite Wax job on my 330 Express. Ran the generator on my last trip and half of my Starboard side (where the diesel exhaust exits) was covered in soot. Then, I read on The Hull Truth that Diesel exhaust soot actually adheres to a waxed hull better than an...

    Water Pump Change on FP Generator

    After 266 hours, I just replaced the impeller on my Fischer Panda Water Pump (model year 2006). If you have done this job, you know how difficult it is to remove and replace the 4 little nuts that hold the water pump cover plate on. To put the 4 nuts on, I always have at least another 4 handy...

    During this shelter at home thing going on, I finally decided to do something I've been meaning to do for a long time. I commercial fish my 330 and have a need to keep my catch alive as I get more $ per pound if it's alive (Cod). The current 45G livewell is good but I fill that up and wanted...
