    intermittent complete power loss

    That discovery perfectly explains your issue. An intermittent power loss is a huge safety concern. Take off that defective battery selector and hit it hard with a sledge hammer!

    Talk to me about the wings on a Canyon, specifically the 271

    To all: The saga continues... To LuckyDude: The only boat better than a Grady-White, is a bigger Grady-white.

    330 transom rot

    You can worry all day and night about moisture in your transom. Doing what Longbay Boy (USMM) above suggests is smart. With the boat out of the water, you can actually stand on the lower unit skeg (one foot on each side) and bounce around a bit and observe the transom. If no flex, then you...

    Gas Cap Lock

    I once had these key lock inserts that went into the space beneath the screw on gas cap. The idea is to prevent a siphon from going down into your tank. I misplaced the ones I had. Anyone know of the manufacturer and PN that fits a 330 gas intake? Probably to the same for most Gradys...

    Horn replacement on 330 Express

    Yes indeed. Those horns are legendary for not working. Not worth tearing the boat apart to replace it. You could spend $ and install a nice and very loud air horn up on your hardtop. 12V power is in your upper cabinet. I kept it simple: I switched to a hand held pneumatic boat horn. I...

    Removing Diesel Soot from Hull

    I tried "Roll Off" and I was unimpressed (price and performance wise). I wax every 6 months so I have a good coat on it at all times. Soft Scrub, lots of water and a couple swipes with my soft brush takes the soot off quick. Takes just a few minutes... Lastly - For What It's Worth - I have...

    Removing Diesel Soot from Hull

    Took me a while but I found the perfect solution to removing diesel exhaust soot from my starboard side (330 Express). Soft Scrub + a soft brush. Works great...

    AC Control Box for Fischer Panda Genset

    Good that you got it running again but sticky valves could not have blown your 100 amp fuse.

    Adding power assist to a 228?

    On my 330, which came with power assist steering: A. No. Your AP pump stays "as is". The Power assist pump is additive (so it may operate when your AP is off). B. No. You leave what's there. The Power assist pump is simply plumbed in addition to your existing sea star hydraulic system. C...

    AC Control Box for Fischer Panda Genset

    You're on the right track now. Glad you read my input again. You need to be able to manually turn the crank shaft to get the FP off that hard spot. I think i turned my crank clockwise. Making up a tool to do this is smart. And keep it on the boat in your tool kit. By the looks of your 100...

    AC Control Box for Fischer Panda Genset

    Replacing that fuel pump is of course a good idea. FWIW, I replaced mine with a Facet PN #40185 9.0-11.5 PSI (32 GPH). I personally do not think your issue has anything to do with the capacitors. If your panel continues to not light up, check for an inline 100 amp fuse between your battery...

    300 Marlin - Gen or not to Gen?

    I love my Fischer Panda. And I am skeptical of a gas generator due to human life safety concerns.

    Added a Bow Thruster to My 330 Express

    You'll never own another boat without one. Good decision!

    Not a grady question but you guys know a bunch so

    "In my opinion you are safer with a mono." < < I concur with this statement above. Remember - there is no one perfect design out there. If there were, everyone would have them. In certain conditions (generally calm), a Cat will outperform a monohull. And vice versa in other conditions...

    How does beam affect ride?

    Luckydude, Marlin all the way per the list you presented. It's literally a ton heavier than the next heaviest boat (my point above). Plus it has the longest waterline (helps bridge across those square waves we deal with in our area). You're well advised to go out and take a ride on the boats...

    How does beam affect ride?

    My inputs on this topic: All Gradys since 2000 have the SeaV2 Hull. They have essentially the same design no matter what size. While on the ocean, if you see a 22 footer off in the distance, then when you get close, you realize it's a 30 footer. The overall SHAPE - length, beam, depth and...

    The only better boat than a Grady is a bigger Grady and I'm going bigger

    Congratulations Larry. We all only go around this thing called "life" once so we might as well make it count huh? I'm the one who coined the phrase: "The only boat better than a Grady-White, is a BIGGER Grady-White" GW's Marketing Director back in North Carolina should adopt this phrase and...

    330 Generator Hatch - caulk or no caulk?

    You ask a good question and you can go eitherway and be fine. I personally like to caulk mine since I fish 99% of the time and all the blood, scales, etc. drain towards that area. By caulking it, I keep the stinky fish smell out of my bilge. I use GE Silicon II in Almond available at any Ace...

    AC Install in 282. It Works!

    I hate to say it as your project looks to be done but yes that clear hose has got to go. The black and green stuff in your first two photos is the right kind of hose to use there. Wire reinforced and will last the life of the boat if installed correctly (with double SS Hose clamps). West...
