    Live well turns off

    I duck taped it on the last two times out. No issues. Must be mine and others fat asses hitting it when we sit on the live we’ll waiting for a hit.

    Comparing 330 Express Years 2004 and 2008

    Manifolds aren’t normally an issue. But mine needed to be changed. Everyone’s will need to be changed eventually. My boat is ten years old and never done. They were leaking. I caught it early. Because of the survey. I feel the aft cabin is a better location to sleep. The main bed is a weird...

    Comparing 330 Express Years 2004 and 2008

    I purchased a 08’ 330 about three months ago. Twin 350’s. Cruise easily at 27 knots. Love it. Paid a pretty penny. Had to do the manifolds. Now the engines are perfect. Should last many thousands of hours. Fresh water flush every time. Service every 100 hours. If I don’t have 300 hours more by...

    Have any 330 owners installed a Westerbeke 5.0MCG ?

    I had a Kohler 5 in a sea ray. Replaced with a rebuilt one. Parts are limited. Even some are not made any longer. I have a panda in a 08’. Love it. Diesel. Quite. The electric started works.

    Live well turns off

    The switch (toggles) goes to off. Makes no sense. I’m going out tomorrow. I’m going to duck tape it in the on position. That should make it only turn off if the breaker trips. Will update late tomorrow.

    Live well turns off

    I’ll look at the wiring and pump today. A different thread with similar issue said it could be the impeller???

    Livewell pump popped a breaker

    The same happened to me twice this week. Lost 100 bait fish. Then worked fine. Yesterday it turned itself off. But I caught in time. Did u check the impeller? Was that cause of tripping the switch?

    Live well turns off

    I own the boat two months. First with a live well. What a pleasure. we lost 100 pilchards last week. I thought it was a guest that hit the switch. Almost happened again yesterday. But I am now constantly checking the switch. And it is “turned” itself off. Or “tripping” itself. I turn it back...

    Purchasing a 2008 330 express.

    I closed on the 330 express. Love it. I have some optional punch list items to take care of. Manifolds. Plugs. Etc. besides that. The engines (350) are in great shape. The gas level gauges are not accurate (main reads 100% when indeed it was at 10%) not being picked up by the surveyor has to be...

    Purchasing a 2008 330 express.

    Tops on my list. Along with the engines that have just 110 hours. The bot lived in Maine for the first ten years of her life. Everything looks so new on the deck and cabin. I’m betting the boat sat on land in storage most of those ten years before she moved to miami.

    Purchasing a 2008 330 express.

    I have a sea trail and engine survey next week. This will be my first Grady white purchase. Any suggestions for what I should look for that the non experienced buyer would know would be helpful. I had a similar size Sea Ray for a few years. I wanted outboards and a little more of a fishing boat.
