    2004 Grady White 33 Express Cruiser Garmin Transducer

    My GT-56 UHD on the stern works great. (under$500) I do lose sidescan above 15 knots, but hold the bottom at 28 knots. Sidescan works amazing. I also have the original (2007) 1K thru hull for traditional sonar that holds the bottom at all speeds. I also have dual 1243xsv

    Outboard RPM Speed

    I disagree somewhat. In the days of 2 stroke engines with carbon buildup, that was very true. Todays modern 4 strokes are very similar to automobile engines (albeit in a slightly different environment). They are clean burning, fuel injected, low emissions. In fact, some of the Honda...

    Oil pressure gauge not working.

    There are two ways to get your engine data on your Garmin. One utilizes Nema, 2000 and you will need that network to connect to a multi hub from the command link or command link plus. The other is directly to a J1939 port on your MFD again with an adapter cable from the command hub to the J1939...

    Rule Pump Running

    FYI some of the newer bilge pumps will run to test the water on some kind of a timer. Don’t know the details, but have heard that is the case and most people do not like that feature. ie. “Rule automatic bilge pumps have an internal computer chip to cycle pumps every 2-1/2 minutes. The pump runs...

    Speed Knob

    I put one on my 330 and have had the built-in ones on other boats. The Edson knob is superior and has never come loose. Fits a variety of sizes heavy duty.

    Edson SS knob is high quality, but not cheap.

    Do you have an estimate of the number of hours on those props? Were your 250s 3.3L or 4.2 L? Do you have any performance information?

    Hairline cracks in 2020 228 hardtop?

    I believe those are nonstructural surface cracks caused by the welding (heat distribution impacting the anodizing). I'd call the company that built/welded the supports. Mine has very similar marks in a few places, not quite as evident as yours. My 330 was built by WMW Marine in Winterville...

    tilt trim in seastar helm

    The only real issue here is seal compatibility and viscosity change with temperature. Most all modern hydraulic fluids are compatible with modern seal technology. Both the trim and tilt and steering systems are relatively low pressure and flow as compared to such things as aircraft hydraulic...

    Offshore readiness

    Also, check your first aid kit to ensure that it contains a tourniquet. Some do not. You can always fashion one out of rope or belt, but a lot more difficult and less effective than using a premade one from a first aid kit.

    Grady 330, f300 outboards best mount height and propeller type and size

    GW has a Yamaha 300 performance report for the 330 Express, I don't remember how I found it on their website, but I'm sure they can dig it up for you. I used that bulletin in 2021 to get the same prop (SWSII 15 X15 3/4) that they put on the boat when it came standard with 300s. I repowered my...

    Battery issues on my 2021 F285 - dealer replace or West Marine DIY?

    On many GW boats the installed charger has a switch. I have missed that a few times. That would be something to check initially.

    Actuator for 360 Express electronics box

    Don’t remember right now, away from the boat but will try and check when I get home next month. That part number sounds familiar though. I thought I had a pic of the part number on my phone, but can’t seem to find it. The part number is near the base of the actuator if you can get your camera close.

    Actuator for 360 Express electronics box

    If it is like the 330 express the bottom of the actuator is behind the Ac/DC switch panel in the galley and can be accessed by removing that panel. The box can then be manually lifted and disconnected at the top the actuator is not hard to change. Had to do it on my 330. Use care not to run the...
