I have a 2002 330 with the original A/C unit. For the past 5-6 years I have been nursing it along and it has served me well. Now it is time to replace it but, obviously, this model is no longer available. If any 330 owners have changed out their A/C units I would like to know what brand and...

Port & Starboard S/S OEM Suzuki 3x16x17 props with 2 each Prop Bushing Stopper and Prop Nut Spacer. With only 30 hours on the props they are barely used and show it. I repowered with Suzuki DF250AP’s that came as a package with the props. Because of the weight of my boat Grady-White 330...

Hey all, I am switching my swim ladder from the 3 step that clips onto the transom in front of engines to the current Windline TXL-4E that Grady currently uses. The problem is that the swim platform on my 2002 is not squared off so the ladder would be at a 45 degree angle when extended - not a...

I am moving my 330 from indoor rack storage to a wet slip and was thinking about a cover to keep the direct sun and debris out of the cockpit. I’ve seen some boats with basically a diagonal cover, without sides, going from back of hardtop to the transom. Was wondering if anyone has something...

Yesterday, my original equipment Horizon 600 finally gave up, I've been nursing it along for years. I have consistently had problems with the rode kinking and jamming (I changed from 3 strand twisted to 8 plait line a couple of years ago & it helped a little) unless I manually guided the line...

I have been fighting reoccurring water leaks in the cabin from the bases of the forward stainless supports for the hardtop & was wondering if it is a common problem or something unique to my boat. It seems to be more of a problem with the two inner supports versus the two outer supports. I...

I have gotten tired of having to use two people to deploy anchor (one at helm and one at winlass). I have what I believe to be the original, Lewmar 600 windlass. The person at the windlass has to baby the chain & rode (1/2" 8 plait) to ensure a smooth drop without kinks, and then tie off the...

Had the boat pulled from the water after the first week of ARS season - surprise, the port trim tab was missing. My year they used a 12" x 20" Bennett tab. Bennett now only makes 18" & 24" tabs. Talked to Grady & they gave me a phone number for Bennett which only gets you to voicemail...

I would like to convert from the old style rigid boarding ladder to the new style folding one. Primarily to be able to launch ladder while in the water. Has anyone done this & how difficult is it to get a secure mounting. I realize it would make dock boarding a little more difficult but I...

I have a 2002 330 with a non-working Kohler 5E generator. I am looking at a Westerbeke 5.0MCG which is 3" wider that the Kohler. My boat is 6 hours away so it will be a while before I can visually check to see if the 3" would make a difference in the installation. As all owners know access is...

My 16 year old Simrad AP-11 autopilot has crapped out. I have purchased the new Furuno Navpilot 300 as a replacement. My Immediate need is to locate the five major components of AP-11 (1) AP-11 Control Unit (2) RFC35 Fluxgate Compass (3) J3000X Junction Unit (4) RPU80 Reversible Pump (5)...

I am having a new enclosure made for my 2002 330 and I have to send the old one to be used as a pattern for the new enclosure. I removed the enclosure on Friday, which was quite an experience since I don't believe it had been removed in the past 16 years. After removing the enclosure the feel...

I have a 2002 330 with the original Lewmar Horizion 600FF windlass. I've had the boat about seven years & it came with 3 strand twisted rode. For the first 4 years I had to continuously manually handle the rode as it would free fall or the rode would kink and jam the gypsy. About 2 years...

It appeared in the latest issue of BoatUS magazine and refers to replacing anodes in the water heater. I haven't read anything over the years referencing replacement (or even the existence) of these anodes. I was wondering if it is something that I have been overlooking or is it a non-issue...

About 2 years ago I had the vacuflush system serviced with new duck bill valves, etc. Everything was fine for first year and then it seemed to develop a leak with a vacuum seal. It started out where the vacuum pump would come on maybe for two or three cycles every hour or so. Now it's...

I have 2002 F225's with 1,100 hours. About 2 months ago the port engine started to give me the overheat alarm when running at 600 rpm - didn't occur at 800 rpm or higher, engines running great at high rpm's. Took it to Yamaha dealer & showed them that alarm would go off after idling in gear...

My 2002 vintage autopilot seems to have finally crapped out. It is a Robertson AP-11 & it was on the boat when I bought it 5 years ago. The other electronics were Furuno and nothing was interfaced. The best I every got out of the Robertson was reasonable performance in fairly calm seas, any...

I am having a problem with the side vent pulls on my 330. One of the pulls has separated from the "base" at the swivel point. The other three pulls seem to jam at the swivel point when closing. The problem appears to be that the connector is some type of rivet. I am hoping that someone else...

I have a 2002 330 and have been battling an issue with the lift out hatch for the generator and strainers for the four years I've owned the boat. The only way I have been able to keep water from entering the aft bilge is to caulk around the hatch but it is a royal PITA when I have to get access...

I had the bottom repainted three years ago when I bought the boat. I keep it in high/dry storage and it's not in the water for more than a week at a time. Bottom paint is thin is spots due to a grounding on a sand bar at 2:30 am when I dragged anchor for 1 mile (yes, I changed the anchor and...
