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.

As others have said, LED is the way to go. My guess is buying just a lens is going to be costly, if it is possible. Might be possible to source a complete old light someone removed. But, why go through all the work and effort to end up with 20 year old technology again? LED spreaders are...

Where are you located?

Wait - which one of my crew are you? LOL

Been thinking about additional rod storage for my 330. As it sits, I have the 6 holders on the tower legs, and 7 holders in the gunnels. I've seen two options discussed here previously - a rocket launcher at the rear of hard top, and adding clamp on holders on the tower legs. One thing I...

I have worked with Bernie Feeney twice on 330's. He is out of MA, but my guess is RI is within his scope. Gulf of Maine Surveyors. K

Best advice I can give is to make a model of the area - use cardboard to mock up the dash area, then go online to the MFD website and get the dimensions from the installation guide. Cut those out of paper or different cardboard, place them over the cardboard. That will go a long way towards...

I'd run the hell out of the existing motors, and save the extra 100k for other costs. The 2018 should be the later series with much fewer issues.

There are a couple of places where water will reach the bilge without anything 'wrong' with the boat. rain water on the deck will find it's way through the rear access panel for the generator is primary. It then will flow forward to the lowest spot in the hull. As ACV mentioned, the fresh...

Sounds like the actuator is working correctly. The motor runs in forward or reverse based on the polarity of the current through the switch. Hookup1 above has it with more detail. If you can't figure out the wiring based on Hookup's description, google reversing polarity through a switch or...

I recall it being quite simple to swap out the old ones for new Taco LED lights. New ones are significantly brighter and use less power.

I'd think about the jigsaw, with the appropriate blade for fiberglass. But no matter what tool you are going to use, lay down a layer of masking tape over the area to be cut so that it is at least an inch on either side of the cut - with the circle, it may not be possible to get a full inch...

I am a north up sort on the GPS for normal usage. An experienced mariner friend who I trust completely, does things differently when navigating in fog or at night. Assume 2 screens. On one of them, orient the chart course up, bring the range waaaay in tight, and overlay radar. On the other...

I'm happy with the Viking raft I purchased. I opted for the valise, rather than the hard mount. If I were to do over, I'd probably get the hard mount and put it on the hardtop. As it sits, it tends to take up a good deal of space in the cabin and is somewhat heavy. Purchased through LRSE...

Definitely Radar as #1. Garmin makes a good radar and it should be compatible with your MFD. Adding a set of Navionics charts and overlaying the Radar on top will really help. However, it is not magic. Best practice is to use the Radar All. The. Time. During. The. Day. Practice at...

Following up. The job was done yesterday. Turned out to be easier than anticipated. Pretty much removed the same components as outlined by HMBJack above. Most difficult part was not snaking the wires, but turned out to be the final connections of the tiny wires inside the helm area. I...

Need to install a new sensor at the motors for my autopilot. The existing one looks to go into one of the two rigging tubes in the transom. The autopilot head is behind the gauge bubble at the helm. I have not found a thread on what needs to come apart to access the wiring run. I know...

Repowered last winter with 300's. Moved up from 225 3.3l lots more torque, and more speed. Seat of the pants feel is day and night. Economy not as significantly better as desired, but that could be props. Thrilled overall. Feel free to PM with any specifics.

I had an engine failure 42 miles out last year. Was able to make 7 knots home on the good motor. So a kicker at 6 is not a bad insurance policy.
