    Aft Fish Box removal 330 Express

    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.

    Aft Fish Box removal 330 Express

    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.

    Marine Air heat on 330 express

    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)

    Raymarine axiom +/west marine

    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...

    Engine bracket on 330 express

    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...

    Bilge pump water intrusion?

    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...

    Yamaha 350 vs 300?

    WTB Marlin 30 What is reasonable?

    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.

    Side Power Bow Thruster

    I have a side power with sleipner motor... def check the sheer pin under the motor... but there is one on the back of the propeller itself too. I don't know if it's actually a sheer pin or just some pin to help locate the prop on the shaft but it's there.
