    New onboard charger for Grady 330

    It appears my Guest charger model 2722 B manufactured in 2006 is no longer working. Looks to be a duel 15 amp charger. I have 4 batteries and I’m wondering if I should get a 2 bank, 3 bank or 4 bank charger? It appears the current 2 bank charger is able to charge all 4 batteries which is how it...

    To Buy or Not to Buy Grady White 330 Express

    Own a ‘06 330 w/F250’s. Love the boat. Plenty of room and rides like a big boat. Bottom is solid fiberglass but there is a little of wood in stern. Owned this boat since 2012 and no problems. Just installed some Ocean LED lights and did it right by drilling a little larger and filling with...

    Transducer placement 330 Express

    The install went well. I placed it starboard of the first stringer in the aft bilge. Very flat area and about 3/4 - 1" of fiberglass to cut. Solid core so no worries about wood getting wet. I have not hooked up the 7612xsv but plan to do so this weekend. Will be a few weeks before we get...

    Transducer placement 330 Express

    Changes plans and eventually went with B175HW and upgraded one VX2 to Garmin 7512xsv. Installed it above first stringer in aft to the left of generator intake. Flat surface with 21 degree Deadrise. Easy install but learned some lessons along the way. Was a little bit hard to cut a 3 3/4 hole...

    Transducer placement 330 Express

    I mostly troll northeast canyons and don’t really wreck fish. I think I’m going to install a B175 transducer and upgrade my VX2 sonar to DFF1. Probably installing in aft bilge area.

    Transducer placement 330 Express

    Thanks. Had considered that option. Met with an installer yesterday and went over all options. It appears that on my 06 Grady 330, there are not many options. I’ve ruled out a fairing block as it would be too large and I really don’t want anything hanging down plus the places where to put it...

    Transducer placement 330 Express

    I have 2 Furuno VX2 units with a B60 transducer flush mount installed in front of forward bilge pump centerline 15 feet from stern. Borderline too far forward but that area appears to be the only place to put one. There are too many water intakes in stern. I’m looking to move up to chirp and...

    Fairing block transducer on 330 Express?

    I actually have the B60 on Furuno VX2. Should have ability to go 1,000 Watts. Just courteous about B164 and how much better quality over B60.

    Fairing block transducer on 330 Express?

    I have a 2006 Grady 330 Express and I’m thinking of upgrading one of my 2 Furuno VX2 units to get better sounder readings while fishing offshore (200-1,500 ft +). Might replace unit with Furuno TZT, TZT2 or Garmin 7612xsv. I currently have Airmar B60 transducer but would it be worth it to...

    Winterizing a 330, left in water

    Did you end up leaving your 330 in the water? Cold winter on the East Coast. Lots of hard ice in the marinas. How did you do?

    Opinion on Sailfish 282 From Owners?

    Owned a Sailfish which I bought new in 2000 and sold in 2012 with Yam 225 OX66. I loved that boat - great ride and could handle all sea conditions. My brother and I (both over 6’3””) fishes the boat hard off Ocean City, MD out as far as 80 miles. Great range. However family grew and I wanted...

    330 Express: Forward Float Question

    If those wires are running from the battery through the SB side and up through hard top, there is a panel there with the same connector that's behind the panel with a few hot wires and ground. Don't know if this is the cause, but my radio box and hardtop lights went out and when I opened the...

    Right radio box 330 express

    So I finally figured out where the problem was with the power to our radio box going out. I contacted Grady and Carolyn finally got back to me to suggest I check the connections located in the area to right of livewell. Turns out there is a small access panel that I never knew existed. When I...

    Right radio box 330 express

    We worked on it today and could not find where the problem wire was. Replaced the 10 amp inline fuse coming from battery but from there it goes in a covering with other wires and then snakes up through the hard top and then to box from what we could tell. We finally pulled the panel and went...

    Right radio box 330 express

    We were headed offshore this morning when the overhead and spreader lights shut off and the radios too which are located above helm right side. We checked all connections and fuzes and no power is getting to block. There appears to be another main fuse somewhere between block and battery. I'm...

    New member in NJ seriously interested in 330 express

    Thought I'd chime in here. I live in OC, MD and in 2011-12 moved up (from 27 sailfish) to a 2006 330 Express. I have never regretted that decision and have never looked back. While not a speed demon (F250's), it is an excellent handling boat in all seas. My sailfish would occasionally pound...

    new strataglass (A & J Canvas)

    Just wanted to give a shout out to Lee with A & J Canvas in Vanceboro, NC. I live in Ocean City, MD and decided to replace the 10+ year vinyl on the front and side enclosures for my 2006 330 Express. After receiving some very high local quotes, I decided to reach out to A & J Canvas who still...

    shrink rap or not

    We have a 33 Express in mid atlantic and i have it shrink wrapped every year to protect it from sun and ice. I don't want water getting into crevices, freezing and cracking. I tried to get a cover from BoatCovers Direct but they don't have one that fits. Had one for my 27 sailfish and it was...

    Water in fwd Bilge

    I had a 2000 sailfish and there is a pvc pipe that goes from front to rear and they sometimes get clogged. I had to use a small pvc pipe fed through the plug to clear mine out. Not saying that is the problem but most water should drain to stern while on plane. I had a 2006 33 Express and...
