I will be installing a taco grand slam 370 outrigger on the hardtop of my Express 330, looking for advice on the placement. Has anyone done this and/or recommend a placement for the holes. Nearly fell off the deck during the removal of the Lee's outriggers in order to place the cover and never...

Photo's of the damage to my motors, which have been regularly flushed and maintained. just so there is no confusing the issue!

Just performed the repair September 2013. parts kit sold online from Simyamaha ~$1,200 with the oil pump and shaft sleeve. The shaft sleeve and oil pump is a must as the seal will wear a groove in the shaft and leak eventually. No need to remove the bracket from the transom. if the damage is...

Had to put the hose off until I repaired the trim motor caps and seals, what a pain. The center piston was oozing all over the lower unit. So, I changed all the piston seals. once they were off I saw everyone had been damaged, probably water beneath the seal wiped them out after this brutal...

I'm looking to replace my rigging hose. I currently have the standard black hose, it looks like a vaccum hose. The joint near the collar of the motor has repeatedly torn open. If you were to replace it would you use stock hose (Black or Blue) or would you use another option? looking for...

Thanks for the tips, I really want this tank to stay clean! For those that are curious about the problem i am posting pictures below. found the pump and filter in the lower berth behing an access panel port side This is what came out of the filter, gelatinous stuff!

Went to the boat and noticed the transom has been unusually dirty. Wiped the area found the dirt to be a bit of motor oil, not much but enough to raise concerns. Checked the oil level and it's pretty much were I originally topped it off. It is definitely the drive shaft seal of the port motor...

Re: Fresh water pressure and pump - corrected! Thanks for all the support! I found the filter and removed it for inspection. At first glance I thought there was charcoal fiber filter ahead of the metal screen. Wrong, it was an unrecognizable pulp that completely blocked water flow. Poured...

Just when I thought everything is working and I can stowe the tools.... the fresh water pressure is now reduced to a trickle. Here are the symptoms, I could use some help diagnosing and getting to the heart of the problem. 1) when the faucet (cold water or hot) is opened the pump starts and...

Just had a Vetus 55 12V bowthruster installed on my 330 Express. I just got tired of worrying about damaging the vessel during strong current and wind (done that). Now, I can't wait to splash and planning on using the boat more. East Coast Bowthruster performed the mobile install in one day and...

You need to check two things: 1) thermostat & 2) pressure control valve. Had similar problem turned out to be t-stat seized open(for me).

I have a 15' diameter sea anchor on board, when I go offshore, with 450 ft of rode and 100 ft of trip line. The swivels and connectors were all purchased together. If you believe you will get caught out there, plan to attach the sea anchor rode to the forward cleat in advance of needing it and...

ken, for a big boat there really isnt much room for the ducer. I recently installed thru hull B260 in front of the generator on the port side. if yours is near the raw water and sanitary scoop it might be too close. I dont think the M260 will fit in the generator area with the structural...

Bob, That's the one. Jaw opens wide enough and will get in to small spaces. Let me know how it works for you. I'm heading to my boat today to clean up. Jack

Bob, Home depot or lowes will carry it. Just went throught the same thing and I couldn't get a 16" channel lock to fit in the gaps. Look for a small adjustable wrench lookalike with prongs about 3" long and the overall tool length is about 10", like a small adjustable with a huge jaw(very...
