Some companies have a "lay-up" period where you commit the boat will be out of the water and not in use. I've adjusted my lay-up period to be shorter (allowing me more time in the water) and it has not impacted my premium but I'd guess that a longer lay-up period would mean a lower premium.

I figured I'd bring this to the brain trust, I'm trying to figure out what this lever does and if it's worth me taking the seat apart to try and repair it. I've got a 2006 330 Express with the Pompanette Platinum Helm Chair (link...

I had a 99' 272 Sailfish which had a similar problem as you are describing a few years back. I had my dealer fix it. They were able to pull the motors & cap, carve out the rot, fix it (not sure exactly what they did) and reseal everything so it would never be a problem again. They then put a...

Get a good understanding of the electronics package as well. Does it have a VHF, GPS, Depth and do they all work? A new electronics package for that boat can be anywhere from $1k to $8k depending on what you need to buy. I'd check that out as you go through the process. Otherwise, what...

Go into the cabin and look up right above the place you’d expect the wiper to be. There is a plastic housing with four screws. It should be under that cover.

I’m no expert in this category but I’ve been doing this for 3 - 4 years on my Express with no issues. On my sea trial for the boat (first one with a generator & AC) the surveyor and prior owner said it was common practice in the southern states. I was also just having the identical...

I just did a similar job with twin 2006 250s to the back of a pair of Garmin1242xsv. I used the J1939 port on the back of each Garmin to connect to the Yamaha network. I dont know if I did this right or not but it works. Part list: One: 6Y8-81920-01-00 Yamaha OEM Multi Hub Assembly One...

How about mounted under the hard top or on deck but below the helm there was a decent size area down below the cupholder and speaker that extended down past the seat.

I have these couple units sitting in my garage if you want to try them. I actually took these pictures last weekend intending to post them on this site for anyone interested. Everything worked when it was removed from the boat.

Hi all - I’m purchasing the parts I need to do number 2 above (my transom shower) and can’t remember the size of the freshwater hose in a 33 express. I’m about an hour and a half from the boat so am trying to get the fittings before I head that way. What size fittings do I need to fit the...

I have a similar project underway. I've got all the parts just need to do the install in the spring. With my 1243xsv I am adding a Yamaha Mult hub (part pictured above) and a Garmin J1939 connector which will go between the multihub and the MFDs. You can read more about it here...

I don't have any major projects planned for this spring. Just a few more simple things: 1. Connecting 2006 Yamaha 250s to Garmin MFDs 2. Install hot water to transom shower 3. Pull and re-seal vents on exterior of hull 4. Install high-water alarms in rear and forward bilge

Check out page 37 in this link. It will be helpful in trying to figure out, for anything that was factory added - the color schemes of the wires, what they power and where they go. For anything aftermarket..... good luck! https://gradywhite.blob.core.windows.net/media/22268/1992-owners.pdf

Right on, hopefully this all helps. The fuse panel up top controlled the spreader lights and the dome light in the cockpit as well as the vhf. I’d check those connections first. I think the cabin lights were run to the panel under the steering wheel. After almost 30 years I can imagine the...
