You have a brand new Yamaha F300. I would not hesitate to check with your Dealer on this. Take a video on your camera, record the hours, keep a simple log. The first 100 hours of run time are quite important and can be revealing. By all means, run the boat and get familiar but use the...

Check on that with your Dealer. Steam is not good (means water).

Any suggestions on locating the white plastic air vent, grill, at the stern corners of the 330 Express? One of mine is badly cracked and looking to replace it. It's the vent near the rear cleat just below the rub rail (roughly 3" X 24"). I had no luck locating one on e-bay or other quick...

I agree with the above comment. Those LU shavings look excessive. I would save and document that in the event a warranty claim comes up. And I guess you are comfortable exceeding the rated HP maximum for your hull. I bet you now have a race car there compared to your previous engines. I...

I think that looks perfect.

On my 2006 F Panda, I use a Racor "R11T" which is a small 10 micron in a metal housing. No bigger than a half beer can. Installs brown side up.

Oh Man, Choogenboom you made my day! Thank you so much for this. You are exactly the guy I was searching for in the Forum. Like my boat, my trailer is an identical twin to yours (aluminum I beam). Per my inquiry to GW, the Livewell drain (starboard side) is 11 feet from the transom and serves...

Thank you for this. This will be just a service trailer. I'm not going to haul it more than a 1/4 mile. I have the bunks set up as per GW's spec. but am looking for a 330 Owner who has a trailer and might share photos or measurements. Once I get the boat on the trailer, I will be adjusting...

Looking for advice here... I just purchased a 3 axle 18,000# capacity Venture aluminum I Beam Trailer for my 330. I think I have it set up pretty well but am looking to fine tune it. If you have the measurements or a photo of your bunk placement for your 330, I'd love to see them. Thank you...

Years ago (like 6?) I converted from 3 blade to 4 blades on my then F250 powered 330 (2005 TXR's in 3.3L). Specifically, I went with 4 blade 16" pitch Offshore props by PowerTech. These props have a 15.25 diameter. For reference, part # OFS416P-CLYX200. I then repowered to F300's last July...

Gas for sure.

My input - you have a blown fuse going to (not in) the Generator. And I bet your 2014 panel is just fine. Suggestion: Carefully remove the panel that your two Perko switches are mounted to. Then look for a very thick RED cable that has a 100 amp fuse on it. It will be within a foot of the...

Sorry about the Crickets comment. Guess it's just a slow time of year for some of us. You obviously were busy. I will just say this - It is sad, very sad, with what is going on in our country right now. The thieves take what ever they want and are not held accountable. Law enforcement is...

If you want someone on land (or sea) to be able to track your boat, from a public and free site such as Marinetraffic.com, then you simply want to install a Class B AIS Transponder.

That Lower Unit may not have been removed for ten years (long before you bought it). It might be welded in place by now. You could destroy the engine trying to do what you want to do. I agree with the above recommendation to use it until something happens. Yamaha impellers are over built. I...

My opinion: not worth the risk. They are not new engines. In a few weeks, they will be 8 years old. And I would never buy an 8 year old engine with only 100 hours. Like others above, I would also be suspicious they went under water. For about $10K more, you can really get "new" engines...

I had a similar condition and hope yours is not the same (in one of my 2006 F250's). It took a awhile but I ultimately determined I was getting water in my engine oil from a leaking powerhead gasket. I recommend you periodically check the color of your engine oil to see if it starts lightening...

Totally agree that they all SUCK. Buy a pneumatic hand held boat horn at West Marine and you're all set.

All of the above is excellent advice. I went from a 265 to a 330 and am super happy. The Marlin, the 305 are excellent choices. The 330 is a beast and does what they do a little better. It just comes down to finding the right boat I guess. One piece of advice - I'd stay clear of the Yamaha...

Thank you...
