    Battery Charger question

    I e I ended up putting 1 on the port bank and one on each battery of the starboard bank. Fired it up and the smart charger went thru its startup and then signaled ok and started its charge. I think it just senses the amount charged in whatever its hooked to and adjusts output accordingly...

    Battery Charger question

    Thank you, I’m going to give it a go today and hook the charger up to each start battery and then one of the two additional batteries on the accessory side. I read the wiring diagram in the owners manual and Grady white sets these boats up with Two banks of 2 batteries each. One side for...

    Battery Charger question

    So went to put the 336 in the water today after sitting a few weeks and the batteries were dead. They are going on 3 years old so not unexpected. My charger has been working fine but is original and really corroded. I decided that while I was in there with the batteries I’d go ahead and replace...

    New wiring upgraded panel, what do you think?

    I did a panel for my SeaCraft 25 probably 5 years ago. Totally custom with breakers and components of my choosing but to fit the space where the old one was. Top notch service and top notch product. Can’t say enough about these guys. I also used them to create the new toggle switch covers for my...

    2006 330 Express-Aft Transom Drop in Box.

    Remember that the bottom of the box will have to be very slightly narrower in all dimensions from the top. It has to have a taper to come in and out and it has to have a taper to be pulled from a fiberglass mold. If the top is 12” X 8” the bottom needs to be 11 3/4” X 7/3/4 ”

    2006 330 Express-Aft Transom Drop in Box.

    Agree with FishTales. Make a duplicate drop in box out of cardboard and tape. Take your time and get it to fit right as if it were exactly like the box that you lost Only cardboard instead of plastic. Any fiberglass guy worth his salt will be able to use that to make a reverse mold and then a...

    2020 228 steering wheel

    Had an Edson on my SeaCraft and will eventually buy one for the Grady. Something classic about those Edson wheels that I like.

    Handrails and Rust...... How to address

    Clean it up and treat it with collinite wax. We make our boat detailers us toothbrushes for the tight spots. I respectfully disagree with using on and off or any acid on metal unless you are positive It wont damage your finish. It will likely make rust come back double the next time. . Those...

    Wiper on/off valve

    First thing any passenger on my boat does when they sit behind the console is immediately fiddle with that damn knob. Followed by me saying “ Where the hell is this water coming from?” I like it for its simplicity, I just wish they hadn‘t put it right in front of my passengers seats on the...

    Garmin Homeport vs Active Captain

    I have 8600 series Garmins and over 4000 waypoints of the 5000 allowable. Went thru the whole set up process for Active Captain and it screwed up all my charts and views. Kept connecting to my phone with all sorts of faults. I had already uploaded the latest software via SD card. I finally gave...

    2006 330 Express-Aft Transom Drop in Box.

    I’d also find out which other boats used that particular box. I’d be willing to bet that box fits more than one Grady model

    2006 330 Express-Aft Transom Drop in Box.

    Find someone that has one and take a mold off it To build a new one out of fiberglass. or go thru the project of making your own mold. Plan on spending 3X what you think it should cost. No easy answer unfortunately. I’m assuming you’re talking about the small corner pull out box?

    Update on my boat herpes

    Blisters can pop up for all sorts of reasons. It could be like yours which seems like an issue between the skin coat and gel coat at layup in a small area relative to the size of the bottom, or it could just be osmotic that pops up here and there or on the entire bottom. If you intend to keep...

    Does anyone here have a 2012-5 vintage 335 Freedom? (With twin 350s) that can confirm performance numbers?

    I have a 2013 336. Should be about the same weight as yours with the same hull and same power. I ran a full tank and averaged a little over 1.1 Mpg. I had a more detailed post on it about two weeks ago that you can probably search for. Anyway, I’m running the same props as you and my top RPM is...

    336 catch box

    Anyone removed their 336/33 express non refrigerated fish box. Curious how much play there is around it. Thinking about making mine into a freezer and coiling the outside with refrigeration coil. Wondering how much room there is left after a wrap of 3/8 coil and some insulation to cover it up...

    271 CANYON TO KEYS

    The boating part will be the same and you seem to have plenty of experience. The easy trip would probably be to the Marathon area. You basically leave Marco and follow the Everglades National boundary down to Marathon. There are several resorts in the area where you can stay and keep the boat...

    271 CANYON TO KEYS

    Ray, Like the others have said, You really have to pick your weather this time of year to make that run from Marco to Key west. I live in Naples and have made the trip multiple times in a 25ft boat. My experience is you only get good sea conditions about 25% of the time. And that usually doesn't...

    Yamaha 350 year 2015

    I filled the tank , reset my Trip and fuel on the yamaha gauge and ran it till I had about 2 bars on the Yamaha fuel gauge. It read 284.6 gallons of fuel had been burned and my trip was at 317.5 miles. I filled the tank completely again and it took 273.6 gallons ( not the 284.6 it showed I had...

    Yamaha 350 year 2015

    Magicalbill, I agree. I found the sweet spot after I had about a half tank burned off and was showing 1.2 to 1.3 at cruise after that point. I'll probably do my normal boating on half tank or less from now on and only fill it when I need the extra range. I filled it to the top and burned it down...

    Yamaha 350 year 2015

    So far I've been happy with my F350's. They are F350B's and have the majority of the changes the F350C's have. From what I've gathered from my research those include the obvious ECM updates, an improved Crank shaft, and the exhaust manifold updates. I have just over 700 Hours and they run...
