We are taking a 1400 mile round trip vacation on our boat after 22 months of improvements. So far so good. Averaging 28.2 mph at 1.21 mpg. Loving the new Simrad AP44 Autopilot and Furuno TZT Touch12. We are going from Myrtle Beach SC to Ft Lauderdale and back.

It’s bee its been awhile since I bought it. I’m going to be using it in a couple days. I’ll measure it and let you know.

On the storage issue. Below decks. Almost 100% of the space is fuel tanks and flotation foam. Two very important features. Gives you an unsinkable boat and really long range. We use the livewell for storage. It’s really big And dry. The cabinet under the galley is pretty big too. When we go on...

I have the Suzuki DF250AP’s which are the same engines As the 300’s. They are just rated at 6000 rpm rather then 6300. I switched to the PowerTech 4 blade 16x16’s. I average 1.25 mpg on my 330. That’s at around 27mph loaded. Fantastic hole shot. Stays on plane better at lower speeds. The boat...

Glad you found one you liked. I think I saw some of your posts on Grady Life on Facebook. Your burning way too much fuel. I have the Suzuki DF250AP’s. I bought the boat not long after it was repowered. The Gentleman got sick right after buying new motors and Gen set. The Suzuki dealer put...

When the boat is moving. You don’t need the blower. It’s a good idea to run it when you are not moving.

You were correct. Scroll up and see my latest fix. I think this one will work!

Softwall hose what you see coming up thru the hole and clamping onto the hose barb on the stainless hose. My boat is a 2002. That’s all Grady used back then. Pex is good. My company Reps different type of plumbing for boats. We sell pex. It tends to transmit the sound of the pump through out the...

HMBJack was right. My hose still blew off again when I left the water heater on. That’s with a new thermostat and switch. So I added a metal hose to the hot water outlet. I left the breaker on all day. I think the problem is solved! The heat travels about 7 inches down the metal hose When the...

here you go. I just got to the boat. It’s about 5 to 6 inches beyond the radar boom. Works great with or without the radar running.

My office phone rang off the hook all day. Boat builders looking for their orders. I never made it to the boat. I’m definitely going tomorrow.

Will do.

I can post a picture tomorrow if you want?

Mine is on the hardtop on the Port side. It’s about 4 to 6 inches outside the beam of the radar array. It works perfectly. This thing is incredible. It improved the gps, fishfinder, Radar and big time on the autopilot! Best money I ever spent.

Thanks for the input. I’ll double clamp it too. Your right though. The water is crazy hot!

based on recommendation from a friend of mine at Grady. I’m going to put a 6 inch piece of heater hose directly on the water heater outlet. Then I will attach it to the plumbing in the boat with a 3/4” nipple and 2 clamps. He said the hose that Grady used was subject to blowing out close to the...

I have all new Furuno gear on my boat accept the autopilot. It was an old Simrad/Robertson AP11. The Robertson’s were the industry standard for 40 years. Simrad bought them a number of years back. I don’t care if it was a 70ft Hatteras, or a 25 Grady White. That’s what Captains used. I wanted...

I got the SCX20 Sat Compass in earlier then expected. I mounted it up on the hard top. Holly Cow! It improves everything! The radar, the autopilot and a huge improvement on the Fishfinder. It smooths everything out. you don’t have to compensate or tune anything. The precision 9 is an excellent...

I don’t use the water heater very often, but the last time I turned it on. It blew the hose off the outlet due to overheating. Soft wall hose and a clamp seem to blow before the pop off pressure valve. I ordered a new fixed thermostat and breaker from Defender. Very easy to install Without us...

Thank you. I may try that for now. It looks like my sat compass may be on backorder for weeks. We start fishing in 10 day weather permitting.
