    Transom shower use for motor flush

    I put a fresh water wash down spigot in the cockpit area, then you can just hook your flushing hose up to that. plenty of water and pressure.

    Has anyone added a helm seat for mate on 33 Express

    360 Open Props

    sync all the time- best way to run the boat in my estimation. EZ! mine is an 07, so maybe they fixed any issues? triple 250s also. The center engine does seem to cavitate, but settles in over time. I tend to tuck the center in 1 bar, and it helps. I changed my props last year to 4 blades...

    Slide Out Clothes Closet on 360 Express
