    Transom drain tubes

    Th marine I got the black plastic. The flair pushed the rubber open on the scupper also. when I changed them they didnt stick to the 5200 very good either. They weren’t very expensive so it was more labor than anything else.

    Transom drain tubes

    I put the plastic ones in my 330 and didn’t like the fit or look. I wound up pulling them out and putting brass in.

Starboard side over electronics box I removed the rigging pipe as I had a lot of new wires to pull up to the...

    New Owner of 2004 330 Express

    It seems that switch that raises and lowers the box it’s difficult at times. Try a little lube and a little more pressure. oh and congrats your gonna love it.

    Finally got it home

    I am deep into sanding the bottom getting it ready for paint. I’m waiting on a couple of wire harnesses so I can pick up my new motors. I’m going to have to remove all the Yamaha stuff and rerig for mercury. Not real happy about that as I purchase quite a bit if new stuff for Yamaha. If any of...

    2003 Marlin Generator Replacement

    I’m not sure you can buy a new gas marine generator anymore. You may look at nextgen. That’s what I’m installing when my kohler dies. It’s in my 2003 express had 7 hours on it when I bought the boat. I cleaned the carb changed oil and plugs new thermostat and impeller. I’ve put 3 hours on it so...

    Cut, buff, wax.

    Man I owned a auto paint and body shop for 38 years. It’s hard for me to pay someone to do that but I just don’t have the shoulders for the buffer anymore. It is amazing what sanding and buffing will do to a GW. The key is sealing it up with wax once your through. The gel coat is porous and...

    330 Express scuppers

    Nope crawled down in the bilge and got to it. I’m not a fan of cutting holes if I don’t have to. rather than fight to get the old floor drains out I just snapped them off . I used a heat gun to warm up the pieces and the broke fitting came right out . I installed the new floor drains I had...

    330 express with 300 Mercury four strokes

    Yes because my dealer changed the date numerous times. Glad I’m not a Yamaha dealer. The Mercury 300’s were quoted same money as Yamaha. Problem is the 5 grand in rigging and props I have to buy. Already spent a couple of grand updating all my Yamaha rigging. Oh well it’s only money. Hopefully I...
