You are correct and it is probably safe. If your insurance company doesn’t have an issue, I don’t think the engines are gonna fall off or sink the boat unless of course the transom is bad. And like you say if the transom is bad, it’s bad! If you are going forward with this, recommend you look at...

The 2006 (and 2007 330 express hull that I have), is rated for a maximum of 600 hp according to the specifications in the owners manual. That manual is available online at the Grady-White website. I re-powered my boat with 300s and have been very pleased with the increased performance as opposed...

To be accurate, if using a magnetic compass,(wet compass) you need to develop a compass deviation card. It will tell you the difference between your compass reading and actual magnetic heading at the various quadrants. The GPS does not provide heading. It provides course over ground. Not that...

I recommend you don’t think of battery banks as powering anything. I think of it as the starboard battery switch powering the house items and the starboard motor. The port switch powers, the port engine and sometimes auxiliary items such as your winless or bow thruster. Each switch has the...

If you have your battery charger for your handheld, I believe you can plug it in and get power to the handheld even with a dead battery. Depends on I guess the status of the battery though.

I carry a board, actually an ax handle, that is cut to size. I place it under the right side of the lid after disconnecting the ram and tilt it up as high as I can. Still not easy access but do-able. I pad the ends to make it easier on the gelcoat. It fits inside the right top corner of the lid...

How do you know you’re not getting transmit or receive? Have you tried the NOAA weather channels in your area usually channel one or two. Find someone with a VHF handheld to see if you were transmitting very weak or not at all. Short of getting a signal meter, another receiver transmitter that...

I just back mine up with my iPhone anchor pro app. Seems to work great I’ve tested it several times. Keep it next to the bed and if necessary plugged in for battery life.

15w-40, diesel. I use T6 Rotella synthetic in my 2007. No filter only a screen. Drain from provided drain tube or vacuum out thru dipstick hole. About a quart maybe a little less. I changed mine every 75 hours or annually at least.

If your engine is a 2007 there are two other fuel filters to consider. An LP filter and a filter in the vapor separator tank (VST) just before the HP pump. That VST filter is a common source of the problem you describe, but not easy to replace. I recommend you (or your mechanic) drain the VST...

Depending on how much water you’re talking about, there are numerous places that rainwater can gather and never reach the bottom of the bilge until the boat rolls. The outboard side of the strakes can trap water, not a lot. My 330 will have freshwater in it after the bilges have been completely...

Not charging? When? With engines running? On board charger? Battery switch position? Typical OEM setup is starboard engine alternator connects to starboard battery switch which is house circuit and port engine connects to the port switch. Test voltage at the battery with switches in various...

Pull switch out and spray with contact cleaner, then test with an ohmeter. Replacing parts without testing can get expensive, those switches on my 2007 330 still work fine. They are not complex.

Typically timer base linkage from throttle cable

Where does the crack emanate from on the forward end. Sometimes there can be a flaw in the casting or a nick or gouge that can create a stress riser in the casting, and then a fatigue failure occurs as the crack progresses. If in fact, it was a casting flaw, depending on the year you may be able...

I guess I was wrong! I had been told it would not work. Would be interested in the final install! Thanks for the correction

The simple answer is no. Yours are command link and the 6YC are command link plus. However, you can use many of the different brand GPS MFD’s to display both engines via a Nema 2000 network.

Pretty common occurrence! Usually not a problem. If you’re concerned about lower unit damage run it for several hours and then check the lower unit oil for water (milky) and for metal particles on the lower plug, which is magnetic. 99% chance everything is good. The gears are robust enough to...

On the 330 the intake scoop for the bait well is never out of the water under normal sea conditions. In fact, if you leave the seacock open at higher speeds, the bait well will fill with water due to the pressure resulting from the scoop with the pump off.

Not standard, at least in 2007. I do not have it but with twin 300s have no problem steering.
