    2004 Express 330 Freezer in Fish Box

    I did the box myself on an '08.. Does the box come out or is it molded in? You need to take it out scrape it down, wrap in copper refrig. tubing then reinsulate. I installed the unit in the wall of the aft berth, put a relay system in so I oculd use the same cooling pump as the AC. Sounds simple...

    330 Express stern Rod holders

    I mounted singles on each side. If you have the 350's you have to be careful..The engines come right to the back of the box. If I rember right I was able to reach the bolts through the vent or cup holders on one side and the storage box on the other. The box does come out. I installed my own...

    33 express generator

    I run mine all the time while under way. If you have it open and not running it has the possibilty to "hydro lock ".. I installed a fresh water flush system on my Gen, forgot to open the valve when flushing once and the fresh water backed up into the gen.. Locked it up tight..Had to pull the...

    fisher panda impeller replacement

    That isn't bad I use a wire tie and tighten it up around impellar with the blades pointed in the right direction and slip it in. The tie slips off after you push it on the shaft. I have not touched my screen. As long as you change your oil on a regular basis, I wouldn't worry about it.

    fisher panda impeller replacement

    I'm getting good at it! Took me 2 hrs! Just a hint.. I tied 15lb mono on the wing nuts with an improved cinch knot. Left 2 ft trailing. Rubbed Gorilla glue on thumb and 2 fingers on both hands (lightly). Worked great. Made it easier not worrying about dropping the wing nuts. Just pulled em...

    panda genset relays

    One relay is for the fuel pump the other is your starter relay. Which one burns out? I've never had one go. I've replaced the 25 amp fuse a couple of times for various reasons. I will tell you that if you call Panda 800 508 6494 ask for Bob in customer service, they're the best. He has...

    Windless problem

    Don't feel bad, I did the same thing, only worse.. I had a spare in the garage so I changed it out to find no success. Then I realized the solenoid was clicking so it had to be the main line..Only then did I remember that it had it's own breaker.. Sometimes ya just don't think straight!

    Barbecue Mount

    It's not attached. Stuck some non slip furniture tabs on the bottom..The other good thing about it is you can move to any rod holder to get it out of the wind. Used it for over three years, never had a "disaster" and we anchor at least 3 out of 4 weekends all year weather permittng..Have over...

    scuba tank holders

    I mounted 2 rails, one under each bollister on my 33. Used stainless wing nuts and mounted to the rod holder frame. Each holds 4 tanks and the holders fold away. Works great. Remove it when you don't need it.

    Barbecue Mount

    Here's the easiest and cheapest I know.. Standard rod mount bait table.. Coleman grill $40 -$60 at Wally world. Fits perfect and stores under the gunnel when not in use. Chuck it each season for a new one. I use it every weekend. Works great, even in the wind when anchored out. Not the...

    fisher panda impeller replacement

    Stonewall is right they are stainless. But I did replace with regular nuts (which I also dropped) in 2 places. I've had no issue with it. No matter how you look at it, it's poor engineering!

    fisher panda impeller replacement

    It's a b***h.. Make sure you have spare wing nuts or regular nuts and a magnet..You'll drop a few before you get the cover back on.. I won't change it again unless it really shows it's not pumping. I got 300 hours on this impellar.. If you find an easy in ..let me know. I'm all ears.. I'm...
