    Panda Generator Maintenance

    Hard to line up gimbal end of rod in rod holders

    Haven't had that problem on my 2006. However, the rod holders going up both sides are too close together for my tld 50 and tiagra's. They needed to be spaced more. I'm looking into putting rod holders across the hard top like I had on my sailfish. There was a post about this earlier this year...

    330 Express rear folding seat

    The rear seat on my 330 express seems to be bending a bit under pressure of some big fellas and big swells. Anyone else have is issue? Thinking of trying to reinforce the seat bottom this Fall/winder. Ay ideas or suggestions?

    Sailfish swim ladder replacement and helm enclosure ?

    I would call A&J Canvas in Vanceboro NC (252-244-1509). The do all the canvas work for Grady. If your boat had enclosures once, they probably still have a template for your boat. Either way, they probably can offer the best price.

    advice needed

    My sailfish is for sale as I posted. It has 2000 225 2 stroke OX66. Great engines and easy to work on. Take care of them and they will take care of you. If money isn't a problem, buy new and get 4 strokes. However, if you we're to buy my Sailfish, you would get a lot of boat for the money...

    272 sailfish

    If i recall correctly, on average day heading offshore, we cruised around 27-30 knots burning about 22-23 GPH. At slower speed, we could get 18-20. But it all depends on conditions, wave action etc. max speed is 45 or so and you dont want to know what the burn rate is there only that i rarely...

    Adding remote flush for generator and air conditioning

    Gulfcart - nice job on this. What are the other lines for? I guess I would need 3 on my 330 - generator, air and freezer plates in fish box. I think you show 4 lines.

    10.7 beam on 305 vs. 9.5 beam on 27. I believe you need permits and a heavy truck that can handle the weight.

    advice needed

    Express is 33 feet and marlin is 30. A lot more boat just like marlin is a lot more boat over sailfish. More fuel burn though cause it is heavier. No idea on folding seat.

    2000 Yamaha OX66 -250hp, 1500 hours too much?

    Had 2000 OX66 225s and they ran great. Just had to keep up with maintenance - clean 02 sensors, change filters, vst filters, low pressure pumps and a few other things. Had some shaking on one which turned out to be a bad O2 sensor even though it tested fine. If they haven't been replaced...

    I have a great (lift kept) 2000 sailfish being brokered at Taylor Marine Center in Ocean City, MD. Great boat! I moved up to a 330 express but still love my sailfish! Great fishing boat, plenty of range and can handle just about anything you can throw at her...

    What to look for?

    I moved up from a 272 sailfish (purchased new in 2000) to a 2006 330 Express July 2012. My old boat had 225 2 strokes and hauled as_. New boat has 250 4 strokes and yes we gave up speed for creature comforts. The 330 express is a heavy boat and build for offshore. We went 70+ miles offshore...

    Changed Impeller - Fisher Panda 4200 generator

    Changed the impeller today in our Fisher Panda Generator on our 2006 Grady Express. What a hell of a job. Could they make this any harder with the location of the impeller and tiny space and small metric screws. We lost a few trying to get them back on. anyhow, A 7-12 inch extender and 9/16...

    330 Express Performance

    Went canyon fishing yesterday and burned about 185 gallons on a 180 mile round trip. Headsea entire way out and rough seas for part of say. We ran a little hard coming home...and I was getting 28-30 burning 32-34 GPH give or take. No idea on rpm.

    First day out and poop!! '99 OX66 Issues

    Are you getting a spark? Have you checked ignition switch? Perhaps there is a fuse that tripped? Without more information, you're simply guessing which can be costly.
