    New Marlin Owner

    Had to replace my exterior screw covers and window seals on my Grady because of shrinkage. Look up Steele Rubber Products (STEELRUBBER.COM). They sent me a sample bag of various seals which was a huge plus - so many seals look alike in pictures. Re water tank? Does it only leak under...

    Floor drain hoses

    You will have to cut the deck behind the starboard transom door and cover with a screw in deck plate to access the deck drain elbow and through hull. Amazing that Grady doesn't consider designing in access to the aft overboards.

    Mechanical vs. DEC Outboard Motors

    I repowered to triple Yamaha DEC engines and the helm master EX joystick from mechanical throttles with power assisted steering and a simrad autopilot. Boat control is night and day. The electric steering is so much more responsive and the joystick is a huge plus when docking with wind and...

    Anyone do Coast Guard registration?

    I would suspect that your boat dealer doesn’t want to have to make the trip to DMV to register your boat. They are being lazy. CG documenting is done online. You’re paying for the boat. You tell them what you want. My 360 express is documented. I am still required to annually register...

    Freshwater tank cleaning

    I’ve had the same issue on my express. Keeping up with tank treatments regularly is best. Warning, too much bleach will wreck the rubber washers and degrade the water line connector seals. Use a marine/RV tank cleaner (west Marine water tank flush) at the beginning of the season and follow...

    Water won’t drain from aft starboard bilge compartment under generator - where are the limber holes?

    I have a 2006 360 express. Water accumulates under in the aft starboard side bilge compartment under my generator located in the aft rigging hold. I have to vacuum it out periodically. It’s difficult to get into that space and I haven’t been able to find a weep hole or blockage that...

    Raising helm chairs on 306 Canyon

    Had this done on my 360 express. Replaced my captains chair and port bench seat with a high back chair. The port bench seat didn’t give you any view over the console. Now the port seat is the same height as the captains seat. Taylor Made Products builds chairs with marine grade vinyl...

    2” of Water always in mid ship bilge of 360 express - want to get it out - “Bilge-B-Dry” question

    My 360 express sits bow slightly down at the dock holding about 2 inches of water forward of the mid ship seacocks and bilge pump. Water flows to the stern when underway but it isn’t enough to run aft bilge to completely remove the water. I shop vac every 2 weeks and remove about 5 gallons...

    Windshield Molding for 2008 330 Express

    I replaced the lower screw cover strip on my boat. Purchased from Steele Rubber Products. steelerubber.com. I called them about sizing and they sent me a sample pack of different sizes at no charge. Ordered the right size and length i needed. It was a simple replacement project that took...

    f300's or f350's

    Yes. I was aware of that from your profile. I was referencing my conversation with the design engineer and my 360. The construction and engineering design of the 330 and the 360 and now the 340, 370 are the same. The only difference are the respective beams and LOAs - which dictates weight...

    f300's or f350's

    Yes. He said the transoms on the 360s had been designed for heavier engines beginning in 2005 but the engine max at the time was 250. The max hp rating was changed once 300s + plus engines came on line. I’ve seen plenty of older 360s for sale and on the water repowered with 300s and 350s.

    f300's or f350's

    Be mindful of the max hp rating on the 33. I repowered my rig and checked in with the Grady engineers, with my insurance co and 2 others for for a second and 3rd opinion. The grady engineer said I could repower with triple 350s but warned that insurance could deny a claim if the max hp...
