I use Marine Techron. It is virtually the same as Ring Free and has stabilizer in it. Cheaper by the gallon. Two strokes have carbon issues, four strokes not so much.

Aviation handhelds are AM versus Marine handhelds which are FM. Totally different breed of cat. I have had pretty good luck with the aviation ICOMs although I haven’t used them a lot. Just remember they too are line of sight and less power than fixed. Inside an aircraft may or may not work.

This boat does not “pop up.” I typically use three-quarter tabs until it starts planing and then back them off to about a quarter depending on the sea state following seas no tabs more trim. A boat this heavy the hole shot is not really a useful term. I am currently using 17 pitch props as...

I have a 2007 330 with new F 300s on it and originally had 250s the 300 moves it as fast as I want to go. Check the performance bulletins at Grady and you’ll see detail of that boat with 300s. That boat is over 7 tons so it is not a speedster.

It is a relatively short boat ride from South Miami to Fort Lauderdale, I’d opt to have it done with one of the recommended installers.

Mine is 14 years old. A year ago it started doing slow starts. I cleaned all of the contacts to the starter it seem to be cranking slower once I got the contacts all clean and had a hot battery starts normally once again. Diesels do take pretty fast crank to start. Also I adjusted the valves to...

There is a way to connect a GPS speed input to the Speed/Fuel gauge also via a NMEA183 wire. I did mine and that may have been done incorrectly to cause a problem. Scroll down on this link to see the fuel and GPS connections...

I have a 2007 330 and I too would like to add one. My educated guess is that access would be under the V berth area. My boat has a large access hatch under that area that goes pretty far forward, almost to the anchor locker. Following your post!

Gauges are pretty reliable. They work off of a Yamaha CL hub. I'd look at the connections before buying a gauge. It is a digital data bus and my hubs (330 Express with F300s), there are two, are aft next to the diesel generator tank and behind the gauges at the helm. If you can hook up YDIS...

Get the manual for the gauge on line and program it properly for two tanks. Both tanks will show on the same page. The fact that it’s locked up could be a problem but you should be able to go in the programming mode and maybe fix it. I have two tanks and the left bar is my main tank, right bar...

Linking the tanks near the bottom is a recipe for problems. Each tank must have a vent. Flow between the tanks is gravity dependent, not ideal when the angles are constantly changing. Filling may be only as fast as the interconnect can accommodate filling. Interconnect hose in the bilge is...

The A&J that does Grady OEM enclosures is in Vanceboro NC. None better. Call Lee at 252-244-1509.

SailRite will have almost any snap fastener that is made today. If they don't have it they may be able to suggest a source or an alternative. https://www.sailrite.com/search?keywords=snap%20fasteners

The seacock condition is much more important. You may be able to free them up by taking off the hoses (out of the water of course) and lubing both internally and externally.

Buy a label maker. The last ones I made have lasted 5 years and need to be replaced now, but I have found numerous uses for labels. Looked almost identical to the original if you use the correct font. One example, I have a p-touch and am happy...

On 2007 330 Main is aft 200 g, aux is forward 150g

My 2007 330 has A mechanical gauge on top of the tank with wires protruding that have been cut. There is no gauge on the generator panel or anywhere in the cabin. The mechanical sender is a standard variable resistance type. I have considered installing a gauge and running wires into the cabin...

You need adobe reader it is a .pdf file.

You can ask Grady for the performance bulletin with the trip 350s, if they have one. They have one for all their past stock configurations, if they did trip 350s. I've found their bulletins to be pretty accurate as they were conducted with Yamaha engineers involved.
