    Increasing Rod Storage

    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...

    Running wire from Transom to helm on a 330

    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...

    Exploring battery set up and charging options

    Considering changing the battery configuration from the stock 330 set up with a 2 bank system. Reason: occasionally lose electronics when restarting an engine while fishing due to voltage drop. I'd like to have the confidence to shut motors off when offshore overnight. Possible...

    Have a 2003 330 and the first casualty of the winter storage is the original Kenwood stereo. Looking for recommendation on a replacement. I've done a bunch of searching here, and most of what I've seen are folks looking to go higher end. Primary use would be bluetoothing playlists from...

    Jumping out of my skin - anyone else?

    Down to 3 weeks to go until May 1, the slated splash date. Bouncing off walls here, giddy with anticipation. Have to temper myself by repeating that May weather in New England blows... The first 10-20 hours will be tough to get through - break in period.

    Rod holder spacing

    There are 3 rod holders in the gunwale on my 330 - the two factory holders, and one spaced halfway between them. Guessing this puts them about 15-18" apart. Want to add a 0* swivel holder, but ideally not in place of what is there already. My gut says that putting it between two of the...

    Repower 330

    Have a 2003 Express 330 which is going to be repowered this winter. I'd love to go with 300's, but as the hull is technically rated for 500, the dealers I've spoken to are hesitant/won't install those. I know a bunch of others have gone with the 300's on the older hulls, and I'm wondering how...

    Electronics wiring question

    On my 330, there is a suite of Raymarine instruments. One of the components was a DSM 300 which has been replaced with a CP 370 for driving the transducer. The wiring for the prior system had all the other components wired to the fuse panel, except for the DSM 300, which was wired to the end...

    Electronics Upgrade Project - 330 Express

    Over the winter, I purchased a set of Raymarine e127 MFD's from a member here. This post will document the process of removing the old units and replacing with the e127's. The former units were a Raymarine C140w and a Furuno L182 Fishfinder. The first step was to remove the helm pod from...
