    330 Express Windlass Breaker Question

    My 2007 330 with a Lewmar Profish 1000 windlass has a 70A breaker, but not the button type. Check the owners manual circuit diagrams for detail on your boat’s main bus.

    Splash Well Drains.

    Moeller Marine makes a variety of sizes. Replaced all 6 of mine with original brass. Bought the tool used to flare the outside and sealed with 4200. Check their website. Check transom drain tube on Amazon.

    Heading sensor and radar

    One further option, if you have an auto pilot system with a heading sensor such as a flux gate magnetic compass, on a NMEA 0183 bus, it will also provide heading information to your radar and allow for the use of MARPA. My older Raymarine autopilot has a fluxgate compass, speaks to my dual...

    Vinyl repair

    I was impressed with the Permatex brand of vinyl repair. It even has a variety of finishes to match the original. The key is getting the color match but repair itself is very durable.

    Wanted, Trailer for GW 330 express.

    Nice trailer! Noticed the location was just outside Houston with a similar area code on the phone number for reply. Apparently not associated with Fort Myers or maybe owner is now in Houston?

    transom cap on a marlin 30

    GW is using a vinyl bang cap now. Stainless is an option, but I opted to replace the one on my 330 with GW supplied vinyl to rule out dissimilar metal corrosion where it contacts the engine mounts. They drop shipped me a 7’ piece and I did it myself at repower. Look at new posts from baldraver...

    Aluminum plate corroding? Need help!

    I replaced mine last year myself during a re-power. Local Yamaha dealer had the engines off for a replacement and gave me a few days to remove the old bang cap and replace with the vinyl strip. Grady-White direct shipped a 7 foot piece to me for very reasonable cost. Transom was solid underneath...

    Express 305 split fuel gauge

    It was a great upgrade! Glad I upgraded as I get better efficiency and higher speeds. Had over 1000 hours on my 250s though. They were bulletproof as well as the 300s are supposed to be.

    Reupholster Helm for GW 330

    What I meant about the button is the detent button that holds the pipe in the sleeve. If the pipe is fully seated you may not be able to see the little ball sticking partially out. Not sure what the proper name is. I had to press mine in on my 330 after lubing it with silicon spray to get the...

    Of course they have the thumb screw holding them down on the outboard side and the two steel tube supports have buttons you can push that allow them to be pulled up and out of their mounting holes.

    Battery Question 2008 330 Express

    Moving the batteries behind the generator would make them very difficult to get in and out. Where we have them is not very hard actually the group 31s of course are a little heavier so you have to eat your Wheaties. Moving them to the center line in the later models though would negate the...

    Battery Question 2008 330 Express

    I had to change out the battery trays and I fit four group 31s in the same compartment. Admittedly they are tight but they do fit. As for the battery set up, the way Grady-White sets it up seems to me to be a lot simpler and adequately redundant. I have the alternate charging cables that are...

    Battery Question 2008 330 Express

    My number one bank are starting batteries and my number 2 bank are deep cycle dual purpose batteries. On overnights I leave the house on number two even if not running the generator they will last all night since they are group 31 deep cycle batteries. My number one bank are starting batteries...
