Your gauges are 23 years old. One option is to remove both gauges, swap them and see if the bad one works. If so, you don't have a wiring or signal issue but a gauge issue.

Looking at the photo of the 340 helm area - oh brother... Don't even think about fishing on that thing. Ugh.

Transom cap still the same. <<<< OMG Really? I'm shocked with this. Do you think they are still making transoms as before? Have they not learned from all the cases of wet and rotted transoms? I find this very hard to believe...

I think about 30 seconds - but they are a very important 30 seconds. When I changed thermostats, I took the old one and placed it in a coffee cup of boiling water in my kitchen sink. Then I slowly added cold water to the cup. The thermostat closed up in about 30 seconds as I recall. You can...

The center helm is what made the Express boats "different". I personally love it. Losing the center helm makes their boats like all the others. Oh well. To each their own...

Yes. 4,400 hours from 2006 F250's over 16 years. I fish commercially and put alot of hours on my Yamahas. I think, the more you use them, the longer they will last.

Dennis is right. If you have 3 engines, I bet they are big. And bigger engines require FULL water pressure. I do my F300's one at a time (5-10 minutes). I'm also a believer that doing the flush when the engine is HOT makes a difference. Accordingly, I'll leave an engine running while the...

Both choices have their pros and cons. And if you choose one, you will learn to like it very much. We've owned our 2006 330 for 15 years and love it immensely. I have a friend who has a Marlin and when I stand on it and check it out, it seems "small" compared to the bad ass 330. I guess you...

a zipper in the bottom track that then connects to the bottom of the panel >>> Yes. Just look at any high end yacht (such as Viking to name one). This is how it's done. In my installation, the zipper might be on the top track. But let me say it's drum tight. Snaps can't compete with this...

I am in a cold climate (San Francisco) and we very rarely rolled up the side panels. Accordingly, when I re-did my enclosure, for the side panels, I opted for a non opening "track to track" installation of Makralon (sp.). Track to track means there are tracks at the top and bottom of the panel...

2006 330 Express with twin Yamaha F300's (repowered)

I personally love the center helm for fishability and sight lines when docking. GW is clearly building boats to sell them to rich folks in warm climates (i.e. Florida). I can't knock them for that. Smart marketing. However, this boat is far less "fishy" than the 330. GW would be wise to...

please delete

I think you simply need a new set of these (see link below). Your Ace Hardware Store should have them. They wear out and should be replaced after a while. Lastly, I do not use 5200 on anything on my 330 (it's too permanent). But that's me...

The Installer of your engines should have resolved that before letting you leave...
