My 330 collects the same way. The holes to get the water to center are at the very aft end of the boat. And, the boat (and most gradys) have a tendency to collect water midship, the aft end is not the lowest and therefore water does not drain there at rest. Each time I take the boat out, I...

Yuck.

As long as the nut is on and you are using a dead blow, soft hammer you should never have a problem and the nut will prevent the need for the dentist. I never get past 2 whacks and it pops off, easy peasy.

Pretty simple install, from what I remember (it's been a few years. I think it required moving the electrical panel in the cabin (4 screws) to access the back and I know I needed a second set of hands to hold the back half of the bolts in the cabin while I worked the front half at the helm...

I would start by trying Grady White. Also e-bay with Grady White as your search can sometimes yield new old stock parts like that.

I would also look into Raybo. Please let me know how you make out, I am also on the SS of LI and have an 07 330. And take a bunch of pictures for us. What year is the boat?

Hard top while running seems fine, but if on the hook, I recommend transom. On the hook, the boat should sit with the wind (assuming you aren't in a big current) and therefore, the wind will blow from bow to stern and, therefore, the generator will be "downwind." In addition, those fumes sink...

What Fishtales said. They are very, very voltage sensitive. You will find that warning anytime you aren't at full voltage. It was one of the many weak spots of the system.

Sounds like you are going to start at step 10 instead of step 1. Why not try cleaning the screens at the end of the faucet as I have mentioned twice now, and also the on/off button at the end of the faucet (which you said you have pushed back and forth). If there was a major problem, you would...

If it is not that, then step 2 is to clear the aerator screens at the end of the faucet. The end screws off and you can run water through the screen backwards to clean it. Either one of those prevents faucet water. Start at the beginning before you re-plumb the entire boat.

It certainly sounds like the on/off shut off button at the end of the faucet is closed. push it in the other direction. You didn't respond to that suggestion from earlier.

Start by making sure your faucets are on. There is a push button at the end of the faucet that is a quick turn off valve. It is possible both are pushed off. Next would be the aeration screen as mentioned. Not sure how this would effect the toilet but that is where I would start. It is odd...

If you are willing to pick up boat in NJ and run it through the ocean to Moriches, you may find a better price. Boats that size can only cross the bridge during a very specific time (like 4:30 in the morning) and require an "escort" which the hauler has to pay for, adds to the expense. I...

Absolutely typical for the trim motor to rust like that. It doesn't mean it is good or that you shouldn't consider replacing at some point, but certainly don't look too deeply into why, it happens on almost all of them, including the two on my lift kept F250s.

Are you not able to use the platforms built into the hull for the transducers(one on each side) They take away the angles for that reason? Do side scan not work there?
