    Raymarine axiom +/west marine

    have to google the F out of the exact model numbers between the axioms. Hodges marine site is pretty detailed as far as what each model has. with a delta of 799 to 1539, I'm betting you find some differences in features. For example, I bought axioms for my previous boat 6 or so years ago and...

    Engine bracket on 330 express

    the most basic answer I can think of is a bracket will make the boat perform differently than they designed it. This particular boat/hull is well dialed in and I would not mess with it. My gut says beefing up the existing transom during the repair will be both cheaper and easier if you have...

    Bilge pump water intrusion?

    If you want to plug off a through hull, I suggest swimming pool rubber plugs. you can buy them online. you can get them from size "00" which is real small all the way up to "15" and beyond. If I had to guess, I'd say a #4 or #6 would be close. #9 1/2 will fit inside 1 1/2" pvc pipe for...

    Yamaha 350 vs 300?

    I'd be going V8 honda all day if the hull is rated for it..

    WTB Marlin 30 What is reasonable?

    you really need 350's on that hull? 300's and that hull has to be pushing high 40's if not low 50's. my 330 express with 300's tickles 43.

    Side Power Bow Thruster

    I have a side power with sleipner motor... def check the sheer pin under the motor... but there is one on the back of the propeller itself too. I don't know if it's actually a sheer pin or just some pin to help locate the prop on the shaft but it's there.

    Prop Options for 330

    I repowered my '04 with V8 300's verado with 1.85 gearcases and had to try several sets of props on my boat to get best performance. I won't bore you with all the specs and sizes but I basically tested 2 sets of 15p props (mirage,powertech) and 2 sets of 17p props (turning point, enertia echo)...

    2004 GW Express Crusier Buzzards Bay

    most of this generation 330 express boats have had fiberglass work done or need it. As for the price, It's reasonable for a repowered 330 express. consider that boats with original power go for the 100K range give or take. He's asking 148 which probably means he'd take 140. go ahead and buy...

    EVA Decking on the cheap

    I agree the eva foam decking will go away, even though I love mine... I think someone will come up with something that's "baked into" the factory process...something that's done when the boat is being built. maybe a different way to finish it..

    ‘04 330 Express Trim Tab Actuator Replacement

    I’m looking for a replacement cylinder/actuator for my ‘04 330 express trim tabs. The plastic ram on mine is cracked Bennett hydraulic tab system, plain rocker switches without indicator lights in the switch. They measure about 10.75” overall in the retracted position. Closest I can find is...

    2004 330 Express - Radio/Speaker wiring

    temporarily removing the small switch panel thats at your feet, port side as you enter the cabin, makes it easier to get from behind the stereo into the bilge by where the trim tab pump is. from there it's right across the boat through the compartment midships that houses shower sump pump...

    Wring path on 330 Express

    the entire area behind the radio/cabinets and sink is pretty wide open. there is a switch panel on the port side nearly at ground level in the cabin entrance. I pulled that out and was able to snake a wire from there to radio pretty easily. from there I went down to bilge then across through...
