I have a 336 with twin Suzuki 350s. Great option. Now have about 700 hours and they have been very good. Port transmission had a bit of metal in the lower unit magnets; Suzuki rebuilt the lower unit at their cost. It has been awesome. Great performance.

Has anyone tried four blade propellers on a 336 with F350s

If you go with the 330, I would not even consider less power than 300s. When full of fuel and running in a head sea, you need the power to push through. It is a nice running boat with the 300s and better with 350s. I have two 336s and also fish with a friend who has the 330. His 330 has...

Dennis. Just pulled the boat for the season. Next week i will change the gearcase oil, lower units' oil and inspect carefully. Let's hope that the flakes and shavings are much reduced! Otherwise, time to look at the gears for wear.

By the way, I am loyal to the Yamaha brand, but not the 350s. My 306 has a pair of F250s that are flawless. That boat is in Jupiter FL. The 336 with the Suzukis is in Shinnecock. Different applications; both great setups.

Sorry for the late reply. Mine is an '08 Canyon 336. I have run the boat with both F350As and the Suzuki 350 duoprops. No question that the F350s have more torque. But the Suzuki's have been painless and deliver incredible fuel economy. I run 70 miles to the Canyon, fish a full day and run...

Shift is equally smooth.

Also, noted that the quantity of "shavings" is noticeably more on the port engine than the starboard. Again, no noise and no slipping, but i am paying attention and changing the gear oil every 50 or 60 hours just to see if it increases or decreases. So far, it has been fairly consistent.

Shavings but some of the shavings are flakes. The largest flake is not large, but noticeably not just a shaving.

I have a 336 canyon with suzuki 350s with duoprops. I fish the canyons south of long Island. Generally very happy with the first 250 hours. Only issue started at 600 hrs when we noticed metal in the gear oil. Paying close attention, but no gear chatter or noticeable noise. Great economy...

Running the zukes 350 duoprops on my 336. Solid performing engines.

Replace the vent hoses. That cured the issue for me.

Dont waste the money for the seakeeper. I fish my 336 on rough days in comfort. The boat is very stable. As for the refrigerated fish box. It is nice but also is one more system to maintain. Ice is cheap.
