    Problem with Vacuflush 2002 330

    Thanks for the continued advice & suggestions. Having been through similar situations I think you can both appreciate my concern in solving this as quickly as possible. Yesterday I contacted customer service at SeaLand. The rep listened patiently as I took her through the events listed above...

    Problem with Vacuflush 2002 330

    Georgemjr Things went from bad to worse. Monday morning I took the starboard panel off in the mid berth and saw that everything was pretty accessible - I took photos of the whole unit and many of the components. I flushed the head a couple of times and heard a low "pop" in the mid berth I...

    Problem with Vacuflush 2002 330

    Just when I thought I was home free I used the toilet and everything functioned well except that the vacuum pump will not shut off unless I flip the Head Switch on the 12 Volt panel. It seems like it is determined to have me perform maintenance on the entire system. I think I read that if the...

    Problem with Vacuflush 2002 330

    Georgemjr You the man. That was the solution to the problem. You sure saved me a lot of time and $ too. The first time I did it, the vacuum pump didn't seem to come on but after an hour or so I noticed that the water level had gone down a little. To put it in prospective, it probable slowed...

    Problem with Vacuflush 2002 330

    Recently developed 2 problems which are probably related. 1st problem - Vacuflush runs between flushes - it runs for about 4-5 seconds an then stops - duration between startups ranges from 1 1/2 minutes to 6 minutes with the majority in 3-4 minute range. 2nd problem - water is very slowly...

    Major leak in fresh water system 2002 330

    I got a call from the tech yesterday and found that the leak was coming from a broken valve on the water heater. Evidently from 12 years of pressure on the valve it finally gave way. This certainly wouldn't have been the first place that I checked but it was nice to find out that a simple...

    Major leak in fresh water system 2002 330

    Yesterday I got on the boat after about a month in high/dry storage and noticed that the fresh water pump ran continuously - I tried getting water out of the faucet but nothing. I checked the level in the tank and found it empty - I thought there was water in the tank when I left last time. I...

    Climbing onto and diving off hardtop..?

    I had 2 steps mounted on the support for the hard top - my supports are a double support a little bit up from the deck. We drilled holes (size ? but fits the holes in step) in each of the two supports - mounted one step opening to starboard and next on to port. I thought it would take three...

    Climbing onto and diving off hardtop..?

    I have installed exactly what you are referring to. Three years ago I purchased a used 330 express with Lee Sr outriggers. I keep the boat in high & dry storage which means the the outriggers have to be dropped whenever it goes into the barn. The only way to drop them is to climb up onto...

    Electronic Box Lifter HELP!

    I had to replace my box lifter about two years ago. I spent a bunch of time researching the exact part. I then told the mechanic which exact part to get & he told me that they are basically all the same (I was looking for the exact length - which I had to estimate because I couldn't get to it)...

    330 Express opinions

    Tom I moved up from a 1988 Pursuit 2200 (22' cuddy cabin) to a 2002 330 with 225's two and a half years ago. I wasn't aware of the corrosion issues. I had the engines surveyed by the original, and continued servicing, Grady dealer and they gave them a good bill of health but who knows how...

    Gas assisted spring piston needed.

    I contacted Ameritool and they sent me to Lewis Marine in south FL. The contact is Linda Chase lchase@lewismarine.com (772) 286-2118 She was very helpful in getting replacement parts - sending photos was helpful for her to identify the parts Jeff

    Need input on the 330 Express, please!

    Gray-Sea The way I understand it, the generator concerns are two fold. First, because of the placement of the generator it get wet from the bilge water splashing around and the water is very hard on the generator components, causing a good deal of rusting and premature failure of components...

    Need input on the 330 Express, please!

    Gray-Sea I moved from a 22' Pursuit Cuddy Cabin to a 2002 330 in August 2011 - it has 225's that had 450 hours on them, they now have 750 hours. I wasn't aware of the corrosion issues at the time but I did have the engines surveyed by the selling and servicing dealer (they had been servicing...

    Rub rail to protect pulpit?

    Hey all I've got a 2002 330 and the bottom edge of the pulpit is getting dinged up from the custom heavy duty (27 lbs) stainless grapnel anchor. I was wondering if any of you had used a section of rub rail around the pulpit to protect the edges? I contacted Grady customer service and Danny...
