I have an '06 330 Express with 2018 Yamaha F300s that were installed new on the boat late last summer. I have 87 hours on the engines. All of the sudden, I have noticed a loss of power. To clarify, the engines are still turning the same RPMs and do not sound like they are struggling. I am...

There ya go! It's great when all the effort and frustrations pay off. With boats, the dividends are always the great memories, time with friends and family, and just being able to get away for awhile. That is worth every penny. Good work.

That is a nice, shiny hull! Enjoy.

Someone asked for the part info. Here it is.

The new joystick came yesterday evening, and I popped it on this morning. That was it. It came right on and worked fine. Knock on wood, we are good to go on that one. Thanks for everyone's input. For what it's worth, they are super easy to replace - 4 screws and a matching wiring harness...

Correct. You give it a kick if your world starts spinning!

Here is the wiring diagram from the manual.

You may have nailed it. I just went down to the boat with a multimeter, and I have power coming to the back of the joystick controller yet it is still not working. I called Imtra, the U.S. Side-Power supplier, and their service guy said it is most likely a controller gone bad. I hope he is...

Just a though on storing the EPIRB. Someone over on THT did a test once with one of those fancy, yellow ACR ditch bags. He threw it in the water, and it began to sink. Long story short, most of us would assume those ditch bags float, but they don't. It would be a real kick in the jimmies if...

Side-Power sells the fuses on their website. They look like this. Interestingly, they sell a 250 amp and a 325 amp, but no 300. The one that i took out said 300 on it. They are the same as those Blue Seas fuses, just a wide guage to fit over the posts on the fuse block.

Yeah, that's the one you can buy at Wet Marine and the one the Grady dealer had in stock. It doesn't fit on the fuse holder. The Grady mechanic learned over the years to grind the curves out to get it to fit, which is what he did for me. Unfortunately, the fuse was not the issue. Still glad i...

Yes, there was. Mechanic at the Grady dealership i got the replacement at confirmed it was the right one. Here's how it looked when I pulled it out.

In the past 2 weeks the Side Power bow thruster on my 2006 330 Express has only been working sporadically. Sometimes when I pushed the on buttons it would turn on, and sometimes it wouldn't, no matter how many times I tried. Now, it doesn't come on at all. When it was coming on the thruster...

It was nice to do something normal again and go to the Stream. We ran out 65 miles from Masonboro Inlet to the Same Ole Hole and found these mahi, blackfins, and a skippy. A barracuda made an appearance as well, but he was not welcome on the boat. People were also catching yellowfins, which...

Is there a plate for the outrigger mounts already welded into the T-top? If so, make sure whatever mounts you get will pop into that hole. Otherwise you are going to have to get a new plate welded in. Not that it is a huge deal, it just makes a quick project into a more involved project. I...

E-6 3rd SFG(A) United States Army 2003-2008 No one can make you quit. Sometimes the key to success is to keep putting one foot in front of the other despite your personal fear and discomfort.

My '06 came with new enclosures panels along the front and and curved corners, and they are in near new condition. The two panels on each side of the helm are old and about ready to be replaced. I have a few questions: 1. Does anyone know what it should cost to do just the sides? Like I...

In 2008 they raised the windshield. They also raised the seating up for better visibility from not only the helm chair but also from the surrounding seats. Anything 2007 and older is going to have the lower windshield. I am not sure about helm air conditioning, but I know it was an option on...

I tried changing the range when I first notice the issue, but it did not help and the paint splatters extended through the entire range selected. Next time I am out of the inlet I will float around for a bit and play with those settings. Thanks for all the input.

Can someone help me out with this? I have limited experience dealing with radar. The 2006 vintage Furuno radar connected to my 2006 vintage Furuno Navnet has a particular quirk. When I am running down the ICW or any of the side channels it works like a champ. However, when I approach the...
