Looking at my transom door latch - which I believe is the same, I think if you remove the bolt to the right of the pin the whole handle should come off. It seems that it should be a relatively easy task to disassemble the pin assembly and just replace the spring with any 316SS of the same size...

If you remember the Sunday am storm that came up at Fort Jefferson, my "damn forth" didn't hold at all - I have since gone to a Mantus which is either a knokoff or an improvement to the Rocna, depending on your point of view

"Figured it out, just rotate the base and they pop off, frame and lens together, revealing the bulb and reflective surface. Effort less. Just ordered all interior bulbs in led from superbrightleds dot com, the halogen ones output too much heat." Is it just a straight replacement of the led's...

If you are referring to the three small dome lights over the v-berth, they are 5 watt Halogen (I believe) and you access them by pulling the entire fixture down. The fixture is held in with two spring clamps that flip up when you pull down on the fixture. The only place I found them was on...

I purchased my 2002 330 with in 2011. I knew the boat as it had one owner and kept it in the same marina as my old 22' Pursuit. I have the 5Kw gas genny and like it because I don't have to maintain 2 different types of fuel. The halon system in bilge keeps me comfortable from a safety point...

Yes, they have Rec 90 fuel in virtually all of the marinas in the Big Bend Area. I use https://activecaptain.com/fuelLists/fue ... &sort=city to find best the best prices as there is frequently a $.30-$.50 per gallon difference & I hold 350 gal - price difference can pay for dinner. BTW in 11...

The trip odometer has that leg at 83 miles - I believe that the actual distance from offshore Steinhatchee to the entrance of the Carrabelle river was 73 miles. My entire trip was 508 miles & Garmin fuel computers showed an average of 1.17 mpg, I ran at 4500-4700 rpm which pushes the 330 (with...

Brian Linda never liked the marina in the keys, she is really partial to St George Island. Combine that with a lot of wind in the keys, except mid summer & then it is brutally hot, and the fishing has dropped off significantly. Had two good trips while down there. In April I ran the boat to...

I bought a 2002 330 in 2011 & it had 2002 vintage Furuno electronics. I slowly started to upgrade with a Garmin 5212. I now have all Garmin - two 5212, 24" radome HD radar, B164 (?) transducer, 2 fuel computers (don't remember the model) and Sirius weather. The only component I didn't replace...

Hey Brian - Never entered my mind to check the manual, should have been first thing I did. Service guide has rpm range from 650 to 750, 650 would probably show on display as 6 which is what it shows - so probably ok. Had a lot of good feedback on THT. I am going to go ahead with exhaust...

I am considering 300 Zukes if I have to repower but I prefer not to spend the $ (or more correctly, my wife prefers not to spend the $) I was told by someone on THT that 600 rpm's is too low should be 750 rpm's - do you happen to recall what in gear idle was on your original engines?

Both of your suggestions were checked and replaced at the 100 hour service. Someone on THT suggested that 600 rpm is too low for idle in gear, it should be 750 rpm's - if you have 225's do you have any comments?

I have 2002 F225's with 1,100 hours. About 2 months ago the port engine started to give me the overheat alarm when running at 600 rpm - didn't occur at 800 rpm or higher, engines running great at high rpm's. Took it to Yamaha dealer & showed them that alarm would go off after idling in gear...

Blaming it on old age - I forgot that I had posted this as I seem to have found a simple solution to my problem. I took the advice of the tech that told me to re-do the dockside setup and then run the sea trial procedure. A couple of months ago I went through the procedure and the AP was...

As a follow up to my previous post - I am back on the boat & took some photos of the fresh water flush on my boat. This first photo shows the connection to the garden hose and where it connects to a brass ball valve that is attached to the back of genny compartment - I couldn't get a photo of...

I too use the AutoTether and an inflatable life jacket (with a SPOT personal locator) when I am running the boat alone.

I have a fresh water flush for my A/C - I'll be down at the boat on Aug 22nd & will take photos and post them here. When I had the fresh water flush installed it was meant to solve a problem with the pump losing prime but then I realized it could also serve to provide the flushing. A year and...

Glad to hear that the insurance company didn't question the hp rating. There have been some warnings posted on THT but it might be more related to the type of boat (go fast, etc) I've had my boat for five years and in the year range that I was looking at original engines were limited to either...
