    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...

    Hardtop Gaff/Harpoon storage

    Looking for a way to add some holders to store Harpoons and Gaffs out of the way on top of the hardtop on my 330. Anyone have any solutions they are happy with? I'd like something which will handle them even running in seas. I have Lee Sr Outriggers which have a connection on the hard top...

    Dog Access

    Acquired a dog last year, he is approximately 80lbs and this will be our first summer with him. No issues where we are slipped, but we often will overnight at Cuttyhunk island which does not have floating docks. Wondering what options are for getting the dog on and off the boat. Boat is a...

    Replace shore power plug 330

    Need to replace the shore power connector on the boat - the male portion. Took a quick look at the existing Furrion connector and have a new one in hand. However, the back half of the plug receptacle will not fit through the hole in the transom, and there are no obvious access points in side...

    Manuals stored on board

    Wondering if folks are storing the Grady Bag full of manuals on board, and if so, where? I'm in a 330, and am tired of tripping over the bag of them, but don't really want to stuff em in a closed compartment where they might deteriorate.

    Sea Star Steering Troubleshooting

    There is a sea star hydraulic system on my 330 Express. Last year the steering wheel felt jumpy/sticky as it turned. Spent a while bleeding the system per Sea Star's web site. Pretty confident in that process, as I'd previously done it with a prior boat. The symptom returned after a couple...

    330 Water leak

    Have a 2003 330 and after launching today, noticed there was a small bit of water on both sides of the rear of the forward V berth. The drops look to be pretty much under where the hard top front supports are secured. I know I read a thread here where it is a good idea to re-bed these. I...

    330 Battery Set Up

    Looking to improve the battery set up on my 330 Express. Currently, the setup is stock, as near as I can tell. There are two banks each consisting of a pair of batteries. One is for the port, the other for starboard outboard. From memory, the starboard one also powers the house...

    Center Rigger base recommendation

    Looking to add a center outrigger to my 330 express, pretty set on going with one of the Lee models. I'm stumped on what is the "proper" angle for the outrigger - any thoughts? They are available from 22 to 45 degrees. I'm guessing that the 30 degree is probably right, given that the hardtop...

    Fuel gauge question - what to trust?

    Have a pair of Yamaha 225's on my 330 with the standard gauges. Did a long run the other day, and have a question about what I'm seeing. Prior to trip, I filled up both tanks. Both tanks started to bubble fuel up through the vents at the fill. I slowed down the flow and pumped a bit more...

    Reading lights 330 Express

    There was a thread about a year ago where someone had replaced the reading lights in their 330 Express with LED lights. At the time, I made a note of the LED replacements. I found the lights at defender, and went to swap out the existing ones, but I can't access the wiring connections. These...
