    Boarding mats

    I did as Freedom did and purchased through Cape Marine. We have both a floor mat and the over the gunnel mats and find them helpful. Both are about 5 years old, and still holding up well.

    Bell Requirement for MA vessels

    Bell is not needed in MA until over 40'. My 330 has a horn, and I also have whistle on a lanyard at helm, plus a canned horn.

    Prop Options for 330

    Repowered my 330 last year with a pair of new Yamaha 300's, for last year, we opted to retain the 17" props from the old 225's. I was able to trial a pair of Yamaha Saltwater Series 2 props in a 15 3/4 x 15 configuration and found significant increases in performance and economy in the mid...

    Cushions for rigging station 330 xpress

    Offhand I don't remember where I was able to find them, but I do recall being shocked at the cost. It would be an improvement, but for me the value was not there for the asking price of them. I opted to use a medium cooler in that spot for the footrest instead.

    Spreader Light Lens

    As others have said, LED is the way to go. My guess is buying just a lens is going to be costly, if it is possible. Might be possible to source a complete old light someone removed. But, why go through all the work and effort to end up with 20 year old technology again? LED spreaders are...
