    Port Side Battery Charged but not connecting

    Two things to start with. First, find the owner's manual and look at the wiring diagram, being only a couple years old it is probably still reasonably accurate. Second, buy a decent multimeter and then start tracing the circuits. There is often a fuse near the battery, as well as circuit...

    Livewell and Washdown Pump

    Try to call ShurFlow. I got rebuild kits for both my pumps a couple years ago after talking with someone at the company. So super helpful and knowledgeable. They could have had me for a pair of new pumps, but sold me on a pair of cheap rebuild kits. I went back into my phone and found the...

    Generator for A/C

    I'm skeptical. While it would work for the space the generator occupies, it seems that it offers a false sense of security, as the CO could migrate away from the generator and into the cabin area, for instance. So while the area around the generator has no build up of CO, the cabin could.

    330 battery charger wiring

    We don't/won't know how your boat is wired. The manual does a decent job at displaying how it was wired from the Factory. However, my experience has been that people do weird things to boats and especially wiring. My best advice is to pull up the access panel in the transom, and the battery...

    Raymarine C120 DSM30 Location

    As other's alluded to, these are often wired to an accessory switch on the switch panel. Make sure that any accessory switch is "on". I can't tell you the number of times the aux switch has been inadvertently switched off by me or a crew member.

    Prop Options for 330

    Closing the loop. Installed the new props on Saturday. Took for a quick test run afterwards. Before changing, boat ran 30 miles an hour at 4600 at 1.0-1.1 on the Yamaha gauge. After changing, boat ran 30 miles an hour at 4300 at 1.2 on the gauge. At 4600, she ran at 33 miles an hour. So...

    S3213 fuel/water separator filter- Racor vs China noname from Amazon

    Agree with half hitch. My repower was almost 70k, not a chance that I'll not use the Yamaha filters. There are places to cut back and save in boating, but IMO, this is not one of them.

    Boarding mats

    I did as Freedom did and purchased through Cape Marine. We have both a floor mat and the over the gunnel mats and find them helpful. Both are about 5 years old, and still holding up well.

    Bell Requirement for MA vessels

    Bell is not needed in MA until over 40'. My 330 has a horn, and I also have whistle on a lanyard at helm, plus a canned horn.

    Prop Options for 330

    I did reach out to Ken at Prop Gods, who confirmed that the 15 3/4 x 15 would be the best choice. Now to find a pair.

    Prop Options for 330

    Repowered my 330 last year with a pair of new Yamaha 300's, for last year, we opted to retain the 17" props from the old 225's. I was able to trial a pair of Yamaha Saltwater Series 2 props in a 15 3/4 x 15 configuration and found significant increases in performance and economy in the mid...

    Just donated. Love the site. I would suggest seeing if there is a way to tone down the ads to a degree. They were way too intrusive, coming up almost between every real post. If this continues, there is a great danger in losing members, and driving away potential new ones. There has to...

    Cushions for rigging station 330 xpress

    Offhand I don't remember where I was able to find them, but I do recall being shocked at the cost. It would be an improvement, but for me the value was not there for the asking price of them. I opted to use a medium cooler in that spot for the footrest instead.
