    Ordering the perfect GW

    I have a 2003 Grady and, in my opinion, it's in pretty good shape (I do have a generator, water heater and AC). I wonder if I had the optional motorized and electrical gadgets that are now available, how many of them would be PITA gremlins. Hey, I'm not knocking the bling - go for it if you...

    Receiver recommendation

    I also have a 2003 330. I just replaced the factory Kenwood with a Fusion MS-RA70NSX. Fairly easy installation - used existing 4 speakers. Love it. Fully controllable with cell phone Fusion app. Bluetooth easy to use. Replaced Kenwood helm controller with a two port 12V accessory/cellphone...

    270 Islander Stereo

    You need the removal "keys" that insert on both sides of the stereo to remove the head unit. Should find them on Amazon or e-bay. The following may not be what you want to hear. I just replaced my Kenwood (still worked, but for how much longer?) with a Fusion stereo. I now have radio and...

    336, 366 or 376 Canyon Cabin/Head

    Being that the vacu-flush toilets flush with freshwater - no worries about the on-going smells that come from a salt water head.

    Replacing Lewmar windlass

    On my 2003 330 I have the original Lewmar windlass and it still works great - I do re-grease it every season. I use 1/4" HT chain. I have settled on 1/2" mega plait line. I had problems with too much stretch using 8 - plait and it resulted in some slippage. I highly recommend the mega plait...

    Motorwell drains

    I got tired of brass - I used fiberglass tubing and 5200. Hopefully, I won't need to ever worry about water getting into the transom from compromised drain tubes!

    2009 306 Bimini Transom

    Thanks for the info - sorry for your situation, but I feel lucky that my dealer changed the aluminum to vinyl before I had the same problem. Your finished repair looks great - put it behind you and enjoy!

    Steering Wheel Cap

    Beautiful Vizsla - if its behavior is anything like my daughter's Vizsla, it probably chewed off the cap! For the record, I like that dog anyway!

    2009 306 Bimini Transom

    Out of curiosity, was the transom bang plate the original aluminum or had it been replaced? If original, was the aluminum corroded? I can't quite make out the bang plate from the original "before" picture. If not from the bang plate, do you have any suspicions as to where the water entry...

    Small cracks lead to transom replacement

    Not sure the reason for your transom rot, but I would recommend that any owner of a Grady with an aluminum transom cap, replace it with vinyl. Also, don't ignore maintenance on the transom drain tubes - the brass tubes must be replaced before they corrode or crack or you will have water seep...

    I'd suggest more chain - 30 to 40' - you won't regret it.

    Sharrow Props

    Very lively discussion with a lot of opinions. It seems that innovation is a contentious, winding, bumpy road. Not sure if the sharrow props are going to be successful and I certainly don't have any skin in the game, but I applaud the effort. I do feel that finding significantly better boat...

    Sharrow Props

    Any comments about the new design Sharrow Props. Anyone using them?? Supposedly better performance and mileage - sounds like they may pay for themselves??

    Grady white 265 express waste vent

    I have a 330 Express and had the same problem. There is a mesh screen in the air intake fitting that attaches to the hull for the vent hose. I pried out the mesh screen - problem solved. The screen was corroded and restricted air flow.

    Two questions - Sirius XM tuner and bait tank

    I've owned a Marlin and now have a 330 Express with the same factory and added cockpit tank layout. I didn't have any problems with the factory tank performance. I would agree with Dennis - check the impeller on the pump (is it a Rule 1100?) for obstructions or even if the shaft is getting...

    Actuator for 360 Express electronics box

    In the above posts, I see mentions of part numbers GW300L-D, GD300L-D and GP300L-D. Which one of these is correct???? I have a 2003 Express 330.
