No, the old motors had a completely different gearing.

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...

Thank you very much.

I don't know as my donation was just done, still seeing the ads.

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...

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...
