    330 Express questions

    "Recently stepped up to a 330- 2002 hull with 2012 Yam 300's" I have a 2002 with original F225's & just over 1,000 hours - don't know the condition of the internal oxidation & don't really want to find out. I plan on running it (with recommended maintenance) until one dies and then going with...

    Locking the discharge valve for the head

    On my 330 - (1) Take the key out of the discharge panel in head, (2) Have the thru hull handle in the off position and (3) have the circuit breaker for overboard discharge in the off position. I have never been inspected where they were looking at the thru hulls, only fish in the fish box and...

    2003 - F225 low pressure pumps

    EPPE I have twin F225 2002 vintage - just passed 1,000 hours. I got the boat with 450 hours and I don't believe my pumps have been changed out. Always looking for valid PM projects and this looks like one I should do. Please forward the link to the tutorial & the part number of the pumps, if...

    Livewell pump on seacock

    I believe my 330 has the pump attached to the seacock. I can't verify it as the boat is 700 miles away but, I would think the user manual should confirm the location.

    Keeping sea cocks closed??

    Ron I have 5 thru hulls & the only two I keep closed are the overboard discharge (required by law) and the live well (because I use it for dry storage when not fishing with live bait). Which means I keep the genny, A/C & raw water wash down open. I changed out the genny and A/C strainers for...

    Mooring whip locations

    I had them mounted on my dock for a 22' Pursuit, in a canal that got moderate traffic with most boaters being considerate. I mounted one for the stern cleat and the other for the bow cleat. Both of them were set up to attach to the cleats furthest from the dock & tightened down to put as much...

    Need help from 330 & Marlin owners

    Thanks for the responses. I ran the same question on THT (The Hull Truth) and the consensus came back with Simrad AP24 specifically AP2404VRF. I had a problem with the Garmin network recognizing the radar & had a tech come on board to fix it. I ran the same question by him & his response was...

    Need help from 330 & Marlin owners

    My 2002 vintage autopilot seems to have finally crapped out. It is a Robertson AP-11 & it was on the boat when I bought it 5 years ago. The other electronics were Furuno and nothing was interfaced. The best I every got out of the Robertson was reasonable performance in fairly calm seas, any...

    Electronics box hatch

    I agree that the Grady replacement hinges must be a whole lot better as they cost 3 times as much (at least my Grady replacement hinges did) even though they look exactly alike :doh

    Marlin: Reverse Cycle Heat

    Randy I've been advised by multiple generator techs that the genny needs to be run a minimum of one hour per month under load. Virtually, everyone I've spoken to has told me that the more you run the generator the less trouble you will have.

    Ringfree

    You're correct Parthery, Domo has been very prompt with delivery - as far as customer service I can't comment as I have never had to contact them. As long as their price remains about the same I have no reason to go any place else

    Marlin 300 fuel tank advice

    Again, I'm not a Marlin owner but close enough. I'm assuming the Marlin is setup like the 330 where the generator (if there is one) runs off the Aux tank (150 gal) burning approx. one gallon per hour. The Main tank on my boat holds 200 gallons. I have the Garmin GFS10 fuel computers and...

    Tight Gear Shift

    I've got a 330 and had the same problem, it turned out to be a cable issue. For me, the problem was with the starboard engine and it was difficult to adjust the engine rpm's while running. It was suggested that I replace both cables at the same time, which I did 2 years ago and no problem...

    330 and Marlin(?) side vent pulls

    I am having a problem with the side vent pulls on my 330. One of the pulls has separated from the "base" at the swivel point. The other three pulls seem to jam at the swivel point when closing. The problem appears to be that the connector is some type of rivet. I am hoping that someone else...

    Busted for riding on the bow

    We do the same thing all the time in calm waters. In Florida, I have passed FWC patrol boats and have not had any issues but I would be interested in knowing if it is illegal in Florida waters.

    Need help from older model 330 owners

    Bob Thanks for the input. I will be down at the boat the end of next week & I will try to determine which of the two alternatives to try. If the one I pick gives me good results, I've got it solved. If not, it's on to the second alternative. BTW I noticed in your signature that we are in...

    Fridge facts

    My boat is in a slip with shore power. I go down to the boat about once a month and stay from 7-10 days. I leave the fridge on full time & run on dc power when I leave the dock. When I leave to return home, I take all perishable food out and fill it with the drinks that were in the cooler...

    Need help from older model 330 owners

    Ahill I wasn't familiar with barrel bolts but after googling them it looks like a much easier solution than fender washers and nuts. Thanks for the suggestion. Regards,

    Need help from older model 330 owners

    Jim thanks for the input. After you drilled out the dowels, were you able to thread the holes so that the SS bolts gripped to put tension on the hatch? I was thinking of using 5200 to glue a washer to the underside of the grommet and then glue a nut to the washer to give me gripping power -...
