2006 330 Express My Main Circuit Breaker & Galvanic Isolator up under the starboard stern gunnel are ready for replacement. Has anyone done this? and any advice as to what type of breaker to use? Since it is a wet environment, I was thinking of something like this from Blue Seas...

Bill has it correct above On another note - on my boat (2006 330), when the hot water got fully hot - the clear reinforced hose that attaches to an elbow there POPPED OFF! This resulted in Niagra Falls happening on the inside starboard side and down into the aft berth. I didn't know this was...

You are going to LOVE the 305 Express. Congratulations. The photo you posted shows your 305 like a Factory Fresh boat!

Check your Check Valve. It's located on top of the remote fuel tank on the fuel line feeding your fuel pump. If there is any material in your tank, it could be partailly clogging the check valve and restricting fuel flow. The check valve is a simple ball valve that looks like a barbed fitting...

The interior of your tank looks to me like it's in pretty good shape. I'd remove all of those particles and bits in there with a rag on an end of a stick. Get it as clean as you can and dispose of that milky fuel somewhere (safe). Your gas "source" obviously was bad unless you left your fuel...

I have the older F250's but did change to the 4 blade and prefer them considerably. <<<< Me too... 2006 F250's on a 330.

These are some of the longest sunlight days of the year. Add warm water, and your growth on the hull is at maximum output. You know your boat - you're initial thoughts are probably spot on. You might have a Diver do a scrub job before going offshore. Or at least have someone take a swim and...

Sparkdog nailed it. I had the exact same leak on my 2006 F250. If you see oil pooling up top near that area, you know what to do. Your Mechanic isn't telling you anything because he knows you could probably do it and he wants your money (just my guess).

I have a pair of F250's (2006). I inspect mine when I change spark plugs and have found they have not lost much material over the years so I therefore have not changed them. They are at least 90%. On my engine, the anodes are in between the spark plugs - might be the same on yours. I...

I immediately had the same observation as Summertop. Also, from the photos, it looks to me like that GW hasn't been maintained all that well. Small problems, like LEAKS, can turn into big problems if ignored. Just my two cents.

If the boat is in the water, buy or borrow an infa-red heat gun. Then run the boat and get the engines Hot (note: idling in the slip does nothing - you gotta run em). Turn off the engines and pull the hoods. With the Heat Gun, inspect the temperature at the Thermostat Housings. If one is much...

My performance #'s are similar to WSpitler's. 2006 330 with 1,900 hours now on my F250's. I usually run with 2/3'rds fuel or so and do a solid 22 KNOTS at 4,300 RPM's. This = .9 nMPG. I use 16 pitch 4 blade props (specifically Power Tech OFS props with shift dampener hubs). I will likely...

I hate drilling holes in my boat. I'm thinking Shop Vac...

I personally wouldn't waste time replacing the switch on that light. As many of us know, it's generally a lousy light anyway. Instead, buy a nice LED light. The one I have can switch from white to red and, being an LED, it is shock proof, consumes low energy and will outlast me. There are...

I've said many times, the only boat better than a Grady-White is a BIGGER Grady-White!

I second Seasick's suggestion to look at the Thermostats. Remove, test and clean them up. Use a pipe brush to clean the Thermostat housing. I do this annually now as even with regular FW flushing, they seem to collect a bit of crap in that area (on the 3.3L V6's at least).

Thank you so much Bill for taking the time to post all of this information! That is exactly what I need. I'll get those studs for sure!

For what it's worth - I just got off the phone with the Parts Manager at FP in Florida. He was not aware of any such replacement stud with a small Allen head fitting on the end. For me (and others I guess), the only real problematic stud is the very bottom one. The other three are okay to...

Bill, Not sure I follow you. You're saying you replaced the existing Studs with a stud that has an Allen head on the end of it? If so, that must be a tiny tiny Allen head. If I understand correctly - the wing nut slides over the allen wrench? I don't use the wing nuts - lost them all. I'm...

After 266 hours, I just replaced the impeller on my Fischer Panda Water Pump (model year 2006). If you have done this job, you know how difficult it is to remove and replace the 4 little nuts that hold the water pump cover plate on. To put the 4 nuts on, I always have at least another 4 handy...
