    Dock Line Source

    5/8 is a pretty hefty line even for a 330... I would think. The WM brand and the NE Ropes are both good when you get them on a big sale.

    Garmin can't change Navigation Overlay items

    I hooked up the Garmin 1242 and updated to the 1/2023 latest I don't think the update changed any of my custom data bars The Navigation bar is a special function. It can be set to auto. That will make it appear when you are "navigating" to a Waypoint (GoTo) or a Route The 4 things in the bar...

    Garmin can't change Navigation Overlay items

    Is that a change in software or was it always that way? Sounds familiar. Is that a new software 1/2023? or the one at the end of last year? I'll have to set mine up and look at it again. I pulled the dash from the boat. I have a spare Garmin power cable... connect to a jump starter. Sit in...

    Help with thru hull transducer placement

    I hear your frustration. I realize you have done troubleshooting and you are just are asking for someone with the same boat and same transducers to tell you where they put theirs. You don't want to cut new giant holes in your boat if it isn't going to fix the problem. I don't have that boat and...

    ACR ResQlink battery replacement

    I have an ACR PLB-375 from 2017. The battery was about to expire and the NOAA registration was due. I decided to replace the battery myself. Exact replacement on https://beaconbatteryreplacement.com/product/acr-plb-375-resqlink-battery/ was $40 Simple job. Two screws. One of the philips...

    Help with thru hull transducer placement

    "I have turbulent interference on my thru-hull transducers (B175’s)' You have two transducers? one's a 50Khz. There is one on the other side? 200Khz or 150khz? Both do the same thing at the same speed? They are brand new transducers? New Sonar? Which one? Have you ruled out low power from...

    2006 225 Tournament 225 Yamaha OB - Outdrive in Water

    Raising the motor into higher holes effects the RPMs and could possibly cause the props to suck air. When I had Yammy OX66s the Lower units touched the water. I tried Trilux, West Marine brand outboard antifouling spray, and Hydrocoat Eco. they all worked ok. The Hydrocoat looks the best...

    Refurbishing Yamaha Outboards

    How much do you use the boat? Where do you use it? Lake, Bay, Coastal/inlet, Far offshore? That is a mitigating factor. If a motor dies in the bay, you putter home on the other one and get it fixed.... How long are you going to try to keep them running? Salt water boat? It could need engine...

    Erratic Engine display

    My first reaction is that a power connection problem would cause the unit to reboot and also give you a low voltage error. The picture points me to a bad unit. The screen is not scanning correctly giving you a doubled picture.(or its "rolling" vertically) And you describe it only after running...

    Erratic Engine display

    I don't think any Gradys came standard with a ground plate. Not necessary unless you have a Single Side Band radio

    Resealing of 33 Express Side Vent

    Resealing of 33 Express Side Vent

    I think he's talking about the vent for the generator space, not a window/vent. It is thru the balsa core of the hull, under the rub rail of the gunnel. The bigger Gradys have balsa cored hull sides, sold glass bottoms.

    2003 330 Express Overhead Electronics Cabinet- Best way to run a wire

    Not familiar with the 330 wire routing but consider running a 2k backbone up to the top rather than a drop. That way you can eventually add more drops up there without more wires.

    Freedom 275 house battery

    yep as I said preferable solution is an isolated House bank.. Did you look thru the 265 battery config thread? I know the boat layout is probably a little diferent than yours but the setup does exactly what you are looking for and it incorporates the existing switches and wires. Look at the...
