The Good 850 rope/chain free fall windlass is the one that I am looking at. Is that the model you installed? Did you go with their standard rode package of 600’ line & 10’ of chain? I currently have 30’ of chain & wonder if 10’ would provide adequate holding power. You mentioned you have to...

I have a swivel between the anchor and the chain but not between the chain and the rode. In my twisted logical mind it should be the same result

I think other early 330 owners have the same issue & hopefully someone has found the best windlass and positioning combination. I am very good at copying a solution not so good at creating it

I only have 300' of 1/2" rode - there is plenty of room in locker. The issue is that the drop point into the locker is too far forward, in later years a change was made moving the drop point further aft. The problem with the 2002 model is that the rode hits at a shallow part of the locker...

Yesterday, my original equipment Horizon 600 finally gave up, I've been nursing it along for years. I have consistently had problems with the rode kinking and jamming (I changed from 3 strand twisted to 8 plait line a couple of years ago & it helped a little) unless I manually guided the line...

A few years back I took my 330 from FL panhandle to the keys - Panhandle = mostly bottom fishing & keys = mostly trolling at least for me . I kept 2 International 50’s & 4 International 30’s in the v-berth rod holders when in the keys now that I’m back in Panhandle there are now 6 lighter...

USMM - thanks for your knowledge & your reporting - life is getting easier - hope you continue to have the same problems I do - keep up the good work

My water tank level indicator has been pegged on empty for past 3 years I assumed it was the sending unit but the water tank is behind the generator and under the halon fire control. Virtually impossible to get to without a lot of disassembly. Very interested to find if that is not the case &...

I found the removal of the side mounts definitely makes forward access easier. The installation of the top mounts was as simple as drilling a 3 1/8” center hole and 4 thru bolt holes on both sides of boat - just need a friend to stand behind the boat to make sure alignment was correct. Easy...

When I purchased my 330 it looked just like themikehyde’s boat with the side mount 25’ outriggers. The guy I bought it from kept it in the water so it wasn’t an issue for him. I wanted to keep it on a rack inside storage. It quickly became an issue as I had to lay the outriggers down to put...

I went to place an order for the WiFi Camp Pro 2 on Amazon when I realized that it appears to require 110v power - it looks like you have it mounted on the separator plate between the two electronics boxes - is there 110v up there or where did you have to run the power from? Thanks, Jeff

i have had the extender in place for about 6 months now & once the bolt was tightened down there has been no wobble at all

I used this one on my 330. The only issue I had was that the 6" rise made it too high & difficult to stand when I had the tilt helm tilted all the way up. I took 2" off the rise and it is now a perfect fit for me. Sitting I can see over the compass & pulpit and standing the seat hits me...

Hey usmm Just came across this thread don't know how I missed it when you originally posted it. This upgrade has been on my 2Do list for a few years - yeah that's typical of me but I do eventually get around to most of them. One side of my original rope lighting is approx 20% operational &...

I have called customer support over the past 8 years at least half a dozen times & the support has always been courteous and helpful - it's definitely the easiest way to find out about the coring - thanks

No, it's something I've been considering but don't have one at this time

Good question - I don't know! I will have to remove one of the bolts, measure it , replace it & see how much sticks through. Unfortunately, with holidays and travel it will probably be January before I can get to the boat & begin on this project - fortunately the boat is stored indoors. I...

Thanks for the input - I guess it would have been wiser to give a little more info as to what I actually did. I did remove the 3 bolts (phillips head with washers and nuts on the under side - there is no backing plate just washers and nuts) from all of the four supports at the same time. I...

I have been fighting reoccurring water leaks in the cabin from the bases of the forward stainless supports for the hardtop & was wondering if it is a common problem or something unique to my boat. It seems to be more of a problem with the two inner supports versus the two outer supports. I...

Hey Wahoo I can see by your last photo at the dock that you made it to the Moorings in Carrabelle - you're in a comfortable and protected dock for now. Be aware that when you poke your bow out into the river that current can be running pretty fast especially if there is significant rain north...
