    Yamaha 17-M Props

    Pardon me for posting this here, but I feel that this section would get more interest for these. I re-powered and have a pair of SS Saltwater Series counter-rotating 17-M props for sale (15 1/4 - 17 P). I had them on my 330 Express with 225's. There in great shape - no dents, no dings, no...

    Raw water wash down

    This is odd - the water systems not that complicated. Unscrew the water exit handles (shower head, sink faucet, etc.) and try running water to make sure the handles aren't clogged. Even though the handle moves, possible the raw water thru-hull is broken.

    I never looked into the 4 blades - I really can't answer if they're a better choice.

    Survey for 2003 330 Express

    I have a 2003 330 and recently repowered (90 hours) with 4.2L Yamaha 250's - 15 3/4 - 15 Props. 4500 RPM - 31 MPH - 1.1 MPG. Top speed - 5500 RPM - 37 MPH - 0.7 MPG. This with 2 people, 95 gallons of fuel, full water tank. Not a speed demon by today's standards but meets my needs for...

    Replacing side logo 330 Express

    I couldn't find them for my 03 and, as mentioned in prior post, I didn't replace them. I did locate a small 330 Express oval logo on each side of the boat, just above the middle cleat. I'm happy with the look :cool:

    Refrigerator - AC Only or AC & Battery

    When I'm on a mooring, retiring for the night, generator off - I will turn off the refrigerator. The refrigerator is a major power user, but I've had no problems turning off a cold refrigerator for 7-8 hours. I turn it on again when running or on generator.

    Troubleshooting Kohler 5E Gen set

    Just because the impeller looks good, doesn't mean it's spinning. Dig deeper and take a look at the condition of the yellow drive sleeve behind the impeller.

    330 with F300 props

    I used the same props that were on my 225 Yammies - SWS 15 1/4 x 17P on my new 4.2L 250's. I'm getting comparable mileage/performance with a little more "kick in the rear" on acceleration. The "bite" seems good - no cavitation issues. I'm getting about 5,300 RPM (40mph) at full throttle. I'm...

    clear bottom paint or sealant?

    Your rant is excused - you're right! If you want to play - you've got to pay (I know!). Hey - our maintenance/operating costs are peanuts compared to the Viking, Hatteras, Bertram, etc. battlewagons!?!?!

    Gents Who Service Their Own Reels - Drag Grease or Not?

    Same as "kirk a". I have used Shimano drag grease as well - no problem. Very, very light coating is all you need. All saltwater reel drag washers upgraded to Carbon Fiber.

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    Overall, I like the look and the color. Question - how's it going to hold up? It seems to me that the force of water on the lower edges (especially at the bow) would eventually lead to the separation of the wrap from the hull???
