Those are Yamaha command link multi hubs. you need an interface cable that goes from one of the “device” ports on the multi hub to your Nema 2000 backbone. There are three device ports on each multi hub. Your forward multi hub probably has no spare device ports. Your aft multi hub probably has...

On my 2007 330, the starboard battery switch controls the feed to the generator starter. Either battery bank can be selected by that switch to start the generator.

Some states require registration regardless of Coast Guard documentation.

On my 2007 330 I have two auxiliary fuse panels, one is behind the center area of the overhead electronics box feeding the anchor light and VHF radio. The other is up higher behind the cabin electrical panel almost behind where my auto pilot controller is installed. The panel is visible after...

A galvanic isolator is simply a transformer that prevents direct current from flowing from the dock to the vessels electrical system. Your boat believes, maybe correctly, that there is reverse polarity and will not let power onto the boat. The system that checks that in your panel is pretty...

Before you blame the gauges, make sure they are powered on. It could be they have become unplugged for some reason. Those look powered off, typically when they are extremely cloudy you can see at least something. When you first turn them on they should test go to all eights and you should be...

Make sure you have your gauge set to the proper protocol for the fuel sensor. There are European, American and one other that I can’t remember available in the settings for fuel quantity on the Yamaha gauges, if that’s what you have. Otherwise you may have a bad sender or some other extra...

My 2007 330 also has a valve at the helm. No solenoid.

Agree with seasick, it is more about the gypsy than the windlass itself. My guess is the windlass is a Lewmar pro fish 1000 or the standard Lewmar 1000. A picture would be good. If it is an original from Grady they will know. But if you can’t confirm that make sure to confirm it via serial...

If you have a Yamaha command link hub then you do not need to go to the engines. Simply plug an adapter cable into a spare device port on the hub and run it to a Nema 2000 net work. Worked with my 2006 motors but I suspect command link is the key. I actually made my own cable by splicing a Nema...

Assuming you have two engines, one fuel valve for each engine, it appears you have each engine selected to both tanks. When one tank runs out the engines may suck air so I would not count on it automatically shifting over to the fuller tank. I run each engine off a separate tank unless I want...

Also good to check the engine or engines if they turn freely. You can disconnect the steering cylinders and they should turn easily by hand. If not there may not be adequate grease in the vertical shaft.

Open the starboard panel in your aft cabin and check for leaks around the Holding tank hoses, vacuum pumps etc. you can tighten and replace the gaskets quite easily. Mine had minor leaks around both the vacuum pump and the discharge pump. Also check to make sure your vent hose goes out the...

Also, be aware that gauge is programmable to the protocol used by the specific sender. It must be sent to USA or European or Yamaha standard. Download the manual for the gauge and it will tell you how to program the gauge for various displays and sensors.

If you place a big crescent wrench on the through hull bolt the valve should unscrew pretty easily. Easy for me to say!

My question as well? Is it bent? Is it leaking? Is it frozen? If it is just the handle or it’s stiff, put a new handle on it take the hose off lubricate the ball valve put it back together. My 2007 330 had the same valve and was stiff I removed the hose sprayed silicon into the ball valve and...

One additional requirement for air conditioning is a cooling water source so the boat cannot be on a lift. It must be in the water.

I was referring to the tilt mechanism in the helm itself, if one exists. I have it on my 2007 330.

The tilt helm mechanism in the helm itself is what I was referring to. The tilt mechanism in the helm could possibly cause friction as it is a universal joint type mechanical connection between the helm and the helm pump. It did with my helm. They make a kit to replace the older design.

The power assist pump is not standard on the earlier model 330s. My 2007 330 with twin 300s has no assist pump and handles easily. It could be that you engines themselves are stiff to turn or your hydraulic steering system has problems. The tilt mechanism has been known to be a weak link in...
