    port a poti with macerator- Where's the #2 go?

    had an '02 gulfstream with that setup. no problems, but i always used Odorlos (liquid). it not only acts on odor, but it breaks down the contents. you really shouldn't have a problem. good luck, ron

    rodholders. if there is no hole, that means there is something behind the bulkhead that they don't want you to hit with a rod tip or butt. good luck with he new ride, ron

    275 Hardtop - remove and replace with bimini

    Re: Hardtop - remove and replace with bimini AntiBond should do the trick. just used some and it works well. there is a market for hardtops, just look in the for sale section here. but, before you sell, just make sure you won't be moving in the foreseeable future, the cost to repurchase...

    Windshield coating is mottled

    first, are we talking about you seeing this only with polarized sunglasses, or naked eye? i will guess not polarized issue since you should be seeing that in almost all auto glass so should be used to it. fresh water has minerals and chlorine in it. sometimes significant amounts of minerals...

    Windshield coating is mottled

    picture? you could be getting water/mineral spots. what do you wash with? do you dry/squeegee off? hard water in your area? any overspray from other cleaning/polishing/lubricating products you use (or that any close neighbor uses)? i get water spots if i don't squeegee off. ron

    Electronics box won't open

    first, you don't unscrew the rubber boot. if the breaker tripped, you just push the top of the boot which has the breaker button under it. next, i wouldn't touch anything. considering that you just had major work done, call the provider and tell them you now have a problem and you want them...

    2004 - 2008 330 Express

    i think the key question to ask GW is "Were there any structural changes to the 330 between the 2003 and 2004 model years?" if yes, what were they? that should get you comfortable with an F300 repower without them saying it outright.

    HEAD INLET

    pump out frequently. i use Odorlos. it's more expensive, but i think it works very well. it's formaldehyde free (strongly suggest anything you get is). i only have fresh water though, never used with raw water. good luck, ron

    2004 - 2008 330 Express

    the 2008 was redesigned and included structural changes for the V-8's. GW told me that the older hulls can utilize the new V-6's at their hp ratings. it would be a good idea for you to hear it right from them though. good luck, ron

    Express 360 Questions

    you can obtain all owner's manuals directly from the mfg websites. that's a great thing about the web, lots of information. just make sure you have your model number. dometic, lewmar, teleflex and fischer-panda have good info. if you only need the actual wiper blade, you may be able to...

    Yamaha tilt-support - do you use?

    fwiw, if your push rods are below the water line (some brackets on boats are actually higher and the trim cylinders are above water) and you're in saltwater; always retract them. the tilt locks are made to do this (not to trailer though). had a problem many moons ago when i didn't retract the...

    PANDA GENERATOR

    if you look at the instructions, the warning is to NOT run the boat at planning speeds with the seacock OPEN and the genset OFF. a running genset while under way would tend to be normal operating procedure. others will chime in. i assume by "AC" you mean air conditioner. if so, the genset...

    from sailfish 272 to 33 Express

    can't help there, but we went from a 232 to the 330. love the boat and would suggest you find one with a thruster because they make it a whole lot easier to handle in close-quarters with less than good conditions. you also may want to check with GW to see if the older hulls will handle the...

    steering?

    seastar hydraulic fluid (assuming it's teleflex). not sure if you have power assist or not. post the year and someone may be able to help. also, it's pretty easy to tell; if the effort is the same with the engine on or off, you don't have power assist. ron

    Raymarine Rant

    first, buy a $250 kvh azimuth 1000 compass and you'll be good to go with the overlay. $350 gets the autocomp 1000 which has no display but can be remotely mounted. check this out http://www.kvh.com/Leisure/Marine-Syste ... asses.aspx i had a c80 with radar and used the autocomp for overlay...
