    282 Anchor Recommendation

    I'd suggest more chain - 30 to 40' - you won't regret it.

    282 Anchor Recommendation

    Another thumbs up for the Delta. Stainless are pretty - but you'll cry when you lose it!!!

    Sharrow Props

    Very lively discussion with a lot of opinions. It seems that innovation is a contentious, winding, bumpy road. Not sure if the sharrow props are going to be successful and I certainly don't have any skin in the game, but I applaud the effort. I do feel that finding significantly better boat...

    Sharrow Props

    Any comments about the new design Sharrow Props. Anyone using them?? Supposedly better performance and mileage - sounds like they may pay for themselves??

    Grady white 265 express waste vent

    I have a 330 Express and had the same problem. There is a mesh screen in the air intake fitting that attaches to the hull for the vent hose. I pried out the mesh screen - problem solved. The screen was corroded and restricted air flow.

    Two questions - Sirius XM tuner and bait tank

    I've owned a Marlin and now have a 330 Express with the same factory and added cockpit tank layout. I didn't have any problems with the factory tank performance. I would agree with Dennis - check the impeller on the pump (is it a Rule 1100?) for obstructions or even if the shaft is getting...

    Actuator for 360 Express electronics box

    In the above posts, I see mentions of part numbers GW300L-D, GD300L-D and GP300L-D. Which one of these is correct???? I have a 2003 Express 330.

    2004 GW Express Cruiser Sink, Water Tank and Transducer questions

    Pretty sure that dealers installed electronic packages, including transducers. I have an Airmar transducer on my 2003, installed by the dealer. On my Simrad MFD, you have to designate the transducer used, so you may want to take a look at your MFD settings to at least tell you what transducer...

    Repower 330

    There were 4 round gauges before, now three round gauges do the job. The new round gauges will fit perfectly, so you'll need to fill the fourth hole. I decided to add a Sitex temp gauge. It fits perfectly and, being a fisherman, I like the visibility of the added temp gauge. I also like that...

    A few newb questions about batteries...

    If you're not sure of the age of your batteries - I suggest that you replace them. I religiously replace batteries every 4 years (I have 4 batteries on my 330 Express) - it's just not worth worrying about the battery's condition when 60 miles offshore. I have had great service from DEKA Marine...

    To repower or not...2004 282 with dual Yamaha F225"s

    Tough decision. A lot depends on the condition of the rest of the boat. If pristine and it's the right boat for your needs, my opinion is to go for it. Price check a new one, it will make you feel better!

    Anchor chain length?

    I'd suggest at least 30 - 35 feet of chain (I have 50 feet on my 330). Cheap insurance and peace of mind to have a little more chain than you think you'll ever need :).

    33 express dead bait!

    Primarily sardines now, but have used anchovies many times over the years.

    33 express dead bait!

    Another thought - 2 scoops may just be too crowded. Try 1 scoop and see what happens.

    33 express dead bait!

    I’m a little confused and maybe my older tank is designed differently than yours. I have a West Coast 2003 with the stock tank and an added tank. On the stock tank there is the center pipe that threads into the drain. There are side holes in the lower threaded rubber area of the pipe, designed...

    33 Express

    I have owned a 2003 for over 12 years. Recently re-powered to twin 4.2 Liter 250 Yamahas. For the most part, I agree with Gulfisher's assessment of the boat. I reside in SoCal, so I haven't had the rust problems, no complaints about the anchor locker, I changed out the transom cap before any...

    330 Express Wiper

    i have a 2003 330 Express and have lived with a very small sweep. If it is adjustable, I'd be excited to learn how to do it.
