Russ I'm not sure what the wiring looks like on a 270, but if you've got two 2014 batteries and one unknown, at least 2/3 of them are due for replacement. And I'll say that there's no reason to miss a fishing season. You can absolutely take the cheap route and put three new batteries in for...

If you happen to be a member - the Sam's Club Marine AGM batteries are some of the best deals out there for an allegedly "good" battery - they do a sale once or twice a year that knocks $20-30 off, but even without that it's pretty good. And have heard they are good about swapping out bad ones...

I generally agree with you, but I’ve had float switches stick before as well. This pump was small enough that I’m less worried about battery drain and failure. I’m hopeful that these pumps have gotten better the years. But yes, I prefer to have two pumps in each bilge location, one small and...

Feel free to ask, I've managed to disassemble about half my 330 over the last couple of months, and I think between a handful of other folks on here we've probably got the whole thing covered. :) Luckily I'm working from home these days, since it seems like I've always got fiberglass scars on...

For various reasons, this project took me 4 months to complete. But I'm happy to report that I now have a 10k BTU helm A/C setup on my 2002 330 Express that looks essentially identical to the setups in a brand new 330. To make a long story short: - Webasto FCF 10k A/C unit fit exactly in the...

I was suffering from a pretty wet stinky bilge in my 330 express, for a number of different reasons. But mostly, the 1500 gph rule pumps that were in there would still leave about an inch of water sitting in the bilge. As I was digging around, I discovered the aft floor compartment in my aft...

Jury is still out on this modification. When I had the large portable dehumidifier in the boat, the cabin was getting scorching hot, but it was keeping a lid on the humidity. I could keep it at 65-70%. With the stupid single-hose portable AC unit, whenever the unit is running it will drag the...

It seems common for the windshield washer fitting itself to break off and leak from there - when that happened to me, water was raining down on me from the headliner though. Maybe the better question is - if you turn on the windshield washer valve, what happens? After some digging I actually...

I am not positive but I *THINK* the posts look like these, where you really gotta squeeze your hand in there and feel around for the release, then wiggle back and forth as you pull upwards. Pushing inward on the exposed nub pushes the hidden nub (which is mated to a hole in the side of the...

Do yourself a favor and get the motor running right on a portable tank before you put any more bad fuel through it. That'll let you chase these two problems independently of each other. I don't get the impression that Fichts are the kind of motors you want dump iffy fuel into, that could get...

Let's be clear on one thing - if your engines are turning the same RPM as they ever did, and your props are unchanged - then there is nothing wrong with the engine side of the equation. 6000 RPM spinning a given prop in good shape is just as much thrust as it ever was. That leaves two things...

I found a reference online that Moeller says their fuel tanks are good to 150 degrees. I'm assuming most plastic tanks wouldn't have an issue with normal 'showering' warm water temperatures of +/- 100 degrees.

I like the way you're thinking, so I've got 3 suggestions for you. #1) To use the motor, essentially you'd have to tap into the "pee stream" or another spot on the outboard's cooling system (most of which is internal), route it outside the motor and into the transom, and then rig up some sort...

I sent you a message, eyeballing it I can only match up two of those to my 330 with certainty, but I’ll take the set if you don’t mind shipping them!

wspitler, I have a pretty wet bilge at the moment so figured one more drip wouldn't matter. :) The way it worked out, the hose creates it's own "p-trap" before connecting to the bilge which also made me feel better about making that connection. My dehumidifier was the same general...

I'm pretty sure it is behind that water heater panel, which is the only panel I haven't taken off 27 times - I definitely saw the hose that goes back to the transom in there.

Hey Readafore, I could give these a good home. Sent you a PM.

Down here in S Florida it is hot and humid 10 months out of the year, and raining every other day on top of that. My neighbor has a 26' walkaround and every time he opens it up he's greeted with mildew, mold, etc on every surface. Not what I wanted to deal with on my first boat with a cabin...

Are you sure you want to do under gunnel, as opposed to in the face of port/starboard side steps? I haven't gotten to this stage yet with my refit, but there appears to be plenty of room either where the courtesy lights are or on the first step below. I've definitely seen newer 330s set up...

Interesting, thanks for that, I had perused the various diagrams over the years but didn't realized that had changed. The emergency stop is just a disconnect plunger, right? So normally it is pulled out and operating but if you kick it is breaks the circuit? (and you would not normally leave...
