It's so tight. if someone is sitting on the port side seat, you're ass or your junk is always in their face if you need to get into the cabin. center cabin entrance on the 340 allows for much more open/airy feeling to the aft birth which is essentially a tomb on the 330. sounds like I'm...

I have an '04... center helm is the worst part of the boat. Helm area is pretty big but you can barely nove around in there. glad they did away with it. with the availability of 400+ hp outboards, I can't see the logic in trips. I'd love to see this hull with twin v10 400's which clearly...

I suspect you need different props or engine mounting height... if you have a 30 marlin like the OP. I have 300's on my 330 express and your numbers are about what I got with the 3.3 liter 225's that came on the boat new in 2004. I repowered with 300 V8 verados and I can cruise 32/33mph at...

If it was just batteries, I'd say tough it out. Since you are doing that other stuff, it might be worth it to remove the generator temporarily. I removed the gen from my '04 with worse bilge access and it wasn't that bad. 2 of us were able to lift it out onto the deck.

the battery placement on my '04 is pretty tragic... however- I read this post and googled 2011 330 express batteries. In a related story, I no longer think the battery placement on my '04 is tragic.

My system will now maintain the desired temp by using either heat or cool automatically.

You need to get into “p 1” and then set to 0 (zero). Seems a little tricky but just be patient and it should go quick Start with section 7.3.1 then 7.3.2, etc Skip 7.3.3 (read that section)

Truer words have never been spoken!! For a 1.5, I'd get my dream boat and pocket a million

have to google the F out of the exact model numbers between the axioms. Hodges marine site is pretty detailed as far as what each model has. with a delta of 799 to 1539, I'm betting you find some differences in features. For example, I bought axioms for my previous boat 6 or so years ago and...

the most basic answer I can think of is a bracket will make the boat perform differently than they designed it. This particular boat/hull is well dialed in and I would not mess with it. My gut says beefing up the existing transom during the repair will be both cheaper and easier if you have...

are you talking full on bracket or jack plates?

If you want to plug off a through hull, I suggest swimming pool rubber plugs. you can buy them online. you can get them from size "00" which is real small all the way up to "15" and beyond. If I had to guess, I'd say a #4 or #6 would be close. #9 1/2 will fit inside 1 1/2" pvc pipe for...

I'd be going V8 honda all day if the hull is rated for it..

you really need 350's on that hull? 300's and that hull has to be pushing high 40's if not low 50's. my 330 express with 300's tickles 43.

Glad they shitcanned the center helm. I can't stand it on mine....one of the only things I don't like about the boat.
