    33’ Express questions

    I have a 2006 33 Express with F250s. We cruise offshore at 4800 RPM at 30 burins about 1.1 per mile. Love this boat and it rides big and has lots of range. I think if I were going to replace, I may just put 250s in there again. The newer 250s are a bit lighter than my 2006s. We have about...

    330 Express- Upgrade Shore Power Connection?

    Check your connection at the boat. The twist on connection can sometimes be problematic over time. We have 50 amp at dock down to 30 amp connection and have never had a problem until recently when I got a reverse polarity light. Unhooked it and screwed it back on and was fine. I plan to...

    Fisher Panda generator problems

    Could be anything but sounds electrical. Also, have you changed the fuel filter? What about the water pump? PITA to get to but should be changed. Try calling fisher panda customer support. They have been helpful to me. We run our generator every time we’re offshore. So far only had a...

    Flushing Yamaha F250s

    My 330 Express is on the hard for the winter and goes back in the water in 2 weeks. We got her ready this past weekend and replaced the thermostats and anodes and I wanted to run her for a few minutes to make sure all is ok prior to launch. In the past, I’ve used a large tub which is a pain...

    Bilge water in new boat

    I have a 2006 330 Express and water accumulates midship after heavy rain. Keep one of those bucket vacs on boat and have sucked 10+ gallons out before but usually just 5 gallons. Before getting to dock, I will manually run both bilges and it keeps water minimal. Most of the time, the bilge is...

    4 bank battery charger recommendations

    Are you sure it’s a 4 bank and not 4 batteries connected on 2 banks? My 2006 Grady 330 Express was this set up. My guest charger went out in July and I replaced with a ProMariner ProTournament 1250 (12v 24v 36 Amp) 2 Bank 360 Elite Charger. Works great and is waterproof which I like because...

    Recommendations for an Onboard Battery Charger

    You are probably right but when I called them to ask they said not to mount it where water can spray it. Bilge area up high is mostly dry but there is moisture so I just opted to go with their waterproof series.

    Recommendations for an Onboard Battery Charger

    I installed a Promariner Protournament 360 Dual Charger-36 Amp 2 Bank in my Grady 330 Express.it is waterproof and since it is installed in the bilge area,I thought that would be better. Works great!

    Fischer Panda 4200

    I have a fisher panda 4200 on my Grady 330 Express (600 hours) and we run it just about every time we are fishing offshore. The thing will run for days on a full tank which I think is 13 or so gallons. Had to replace the starter but that’s about it. Has been flawless. Is that how much those...

    replacing Guest 2722-B battery charger

    The battery charger is hard wired to the boat and each battery bank and is operated when on shore power or when I’m running the generator- which I’m always doing when offshore. I always charge the batteries when at the dock. The good chargers will charge slowly and turn off or switch to...

    330 Express Performance

    I have a 2006 330 with late 2006 F250s and 1,100 hours. Great boat. Get about 1.1 to 1 gal when heading offshore canyon fishing - fully loaded, people, full tanks, water etc. Average trip to canyon 60 miles (burning 29 gph at 4800 rpms and 29-30 cruise) and trolling all day (burning 3.8 gph)...

    Battery charger for Grady 330 Express

    I need to replace the battery charger in my '06 Grady 330 Express. The current one is 2 bank 30 AMP Guest charger. I spoke to Grady and they are now installing the PROMARINER ProNautic 1250P (12V/50A) chargers. However, these are not waterproof so I was considering installing the PROMARINAR...

    Battery connections - '06 330 Express

    Thanks. I am unable to start the engines with the battery switch on left on #1 and the right one on OFF. Now if I turn the left to off, and the right to #2, I can turn over one engine. The two 25 amp fuses are for the onboard 30 amp 2 bank charger. There is also a ground wire coming from...

    Battery connections - '06 330 Express

    Attached schematic is how batteries are set up. Started boat and ran everything and all was well. Tried battery switch 1 & 2, 1 & 1, 2 & 2 and everything seemed to work fine. Tested windless and bow thruster and worked fine. Does anyone see any problems with this set up or suggested changes...

    Battery connections - '06 330 Express

    I went to swap out battery's today and, despite zip tying everything, I may have gotten mixed up on a connection. The boat engines do start but unless I have each switch on, the engine won't start. In other words, I can't turn on the left switch to 1 and start it unless the other switch is on...

    LED spreader lights recommendations

    Just installed a pair of Lumitec Caprera2 purchased from West Marine on my Grady 330. They look great and very very bright and dimmible. Easy install. I’m thinking of adding 2 more next to them (1 in each side) facing the water for when we overnight.
