Finally repaired/replaced soft core area on cabin top, port side of bomar hatch. I was able to accomplish this without cutting the top skin by removing the bomar and excavating the soft balsa core. After removal and drying out process I fashioned some tools to sand both the undersides of the...

It’s not that Grady doesn’t know how the competition does things or how to do things better. Like every boat builder they build to a price point and the added cost and time to make the improvements you mentioned would push them above that “price point”.

:Dhahahaha how about a wine rack to go with more cupholders? I have mine off right now. It is crazy heavy. two guys struggle heavy. Its not wet at all. Coosa, even 1/4", would be way too heavy. It needs to be lighter not heavier. Its not a deck on any model. A bubble top is not conducive to...

- I think a new size bow rider would be higher on the list than a pilot house add. - If you they are not draining, then your scuppers are underwater I'd say. There is excessive weight in the boat or the scuppers are too low. Once they started strapping 4S on the back of these boats they should...

Having had a 1999 272 the sea cocks were all in the same compartment as the fwd bilge. You should be able to rule those out pretty easily. Other key areas for leaks in that boat - from experience - would be: overboard cockpit drains (dry rot hose), freshwater system (windshield wash valve)...

@grady33 are you able to send any pictures of your palm beach cover? I'm interested in getting one and have the same boat 06 330. As for the thread, I caulk the hatch back in place and keep a razor blade handy if I need to open it. I figure if I need to open it, what's another minute after...

I have a 01 330, My hatch was completely water logged. I dug out all the wet wood, replaced it with composite, reglassed it. I don't fish, did not caulk it. I put short stainless screws so it looks mounted. I like taking it out when ever I need to go in the bilge. The water in the bilge doesn't...

2004 330 Express: This year 330, has the generator hatch that is secured down instead of hinged. I pulled the hatch for the first time (the boat is new to me), and I noticed the deck has drains for the hatch. This has me wondering, are you supposed to caulk the hatch down when you re-install...

Hi Koz. I like the table you made. I'm considering doing the same thing. How did you secure the table to the boat?

Bought a 2006 Marlin in Jan. Great boat. Now it's out for the winter and I want to do some work that will be much easier if I remove the aft deck hatch. It looks like it is just screwed down and caulked. Any other thing I should be aware of before removing it? Any adhesive on it? Also, when...

Impressive setup on the batteries Koz!. My single fuel tank extends all the way to the cabin, iirc 125 Gal. how many gal is yours? With the motor stowed, I found that it is not easy for me to walk on the port side, esp out on the water. Maybe safer to mount on the opposite side which u...

That looks fantastic Roy, you do excellent work! Thank you very much for sharing the photos. I REALLY appreciate it!! Your photos are SO helpful right now. My TM should be shipping next week;). I envision physically mounting it almost identically to what you did. I was thinking of mounting on...

Well I did it! The only thing I have to say is why didn't I do this sooner! It was not bad at all down there after removing the deck plate. Did not take long to clean it up nice. I built a shelf to hold three batteries to put under there. I overkilled it as usual. 2" x 3" aluminum tube with a...

Just an FYI... The sealant there really doesn't serve any "real" purpose - meaning, you could cut it out and leave it like that. However, it does help to keep dirt from collecting and the time needed to fully remove the caulk so the area looks nice would be longer than just re-sealing. Take a...

We go through this discussion a lot on the forum regarding adhesives and sealants. Honestly, I really don't know what is best in some instances. For example, I think we agree that 5200 is appropriate for below the water through hulls. I also feel that it is appropriate for backing plates. Dive...

The tank was center aft right up against the motor well dam. You should see a hatch panel that is about 2 feet wide and 18 inches or so deep. My numbers may be off but the panel is obvious. It is held in with 6 screws and caulking. It may have various rubber shims under the lip to level it...

Thank you very much! I will pull it up to clean under there when I pull the forward deck plate up is a few weeks. I purchased two new tubes of GE2 Almond caulk to thoroughly re-caulk them. The deck hatch that I ordered from Boat Outfitters shipped yesterday. Rhodan on a 226 Seafarer

The failing caulk is a non-issue for this dilemma as it doesn't affect water getting into the core of the hatch. While we can't see the whole underside of the hatch (the topside doesn't really matter), I can see more than one place where the underside "skin" is separating - in addition to the...

It was definitely coming in through one failing portion of caulk and a couple of the screw holes. My fishbox and live well hatch are both toast so I have some projects ahead of me.
