Where does the crack emanate from on the forward end. Sometimes there can be a flaw in the casting or a nick or gouge that can create a stress riser in the casting, and then a fatigue failure occurs as the crack progresses. If in fact, it was a casting flaw, depending on the year you may be able...

I guess I was wrong! I had been told it would not work. Would be interested in the final install! Thanks for the correction

The simple answer is no. Yours are command link and the 6YC are command link plus. However, you can use many of the different brand GPS MFD’s to display both engines via a Nema 2000 network.

Pretty common occurrence! Usually not a problem. If you’re concerned about lower unit damage run it for several hours and then check the lower unit oil for water (milky) and for metal particles on the lower plug, which is magnetic. 99% chance everything is good. The gears are robust enough to...

On the 330 the intake scoop for the bait well is never out of the water under normal sea conditions. In fact, if you leave the seacock open at higher speeds, the bait well will fill with water due to the pressure resulting from the scoop with the pump off.

Not standard, at least in 2007. I do not have it but with twin 300s have no problem steering.

2007 330 don’t have that problem. Might want to check and see how the scoop looks on the bottom. I seem to remember mine has a slots facing forward and is closed on the aft end.

Some installers also connect the VHF FM radio directly to a battery, bypassing the battery switches, to ensure availability in emergency situations. Just like your bilge pumps.

Thanks! My diesel tank gets in the way if working from the bilge.

Did you have any problem, reaching the drain fittings themselves on the deck inside the cockpit? It would seem to be a bit of a reach from there, but surely easy access to the through hulls.. Also, where did you purchase The cockpit drains themselves and if you have a part number? Great...

My 2007 330 as it came from the factory had only two banks of batteries, two batteries per bank. The original charger was wired as two outputs to two banks and was an only a two bank charger. If you actually have three banks of batteries, you would require three battery switches whereas...

Check your electrical panel gauge, if you have one, when the AC compressor first kicks on. Note the amperage or watts. A 2000 watt generator at 120 volts only provides about 17 amps. I think my 330 AC needs a little more than that. 2000 watts may be marginally capable. If you find the name...

I have been using the Weize lithium ion batteries on my other boat for several years now and they work great. They also may be one of the less expensive options.

Those endcap seals are easy to change, just buy the tool and the replacement caps. Your challenge is often getting the attachment off the end of the ram due to corrosion. If that is not too hard, this is a quick and easy job. From your photo of the ram itself doesn’t look bad slight marrring is...

Build one from starboard. Easy to design or have one built with a diagram and measurements. You can customize it to fit your particular drinks!
