I lost the GPS signal from my Furuno puck a few weeks back but it's on the buggy top of my tower and I had zero interest in trying to pull wire for a new antenna. I have a mixed system of Garmin and Furuno (mostly for the radar) so I just connected the Furuno display to the NMEA 0183 from my...

Both of the ball joints on my 2003 330 went within 1 year of each other, just replaced the second with the McMaster clevis pin style. As described by others, took the arm of the seacock to make the job easier.

Should be a pretty easy job, except for working in the small hatch. You can buy a new pump on-line (amazon, Defender, etc.) or at a West Marine.

Just a straight replacement with LED if you get the right base. Note, there are a lot of different bulbs with same base and not all will fit in the existing base. It's long and narrow.

You should connect with Ken @ PropGods.com - he'll tell you everything you need to know. Props in "rough shape" are not good.

I'm pretty sure it was in the 600 range, 750 seems way too high for me. They may have started up that high, but normal was closer to 600. Yes, new power was more money, but I got decent $$ selling the old engines and took a bunch of old systems off the boat (e.g., controllers for tower...

I also replaced most of the Furuno gear on my 2003 330 with Garmin. Two Furuno displays at the helm (one 10" and one 7") - I kept the 10" primarily for the radar (still great after 13 years) and put a 7607xsv along with the AP control head and a Garmin microphone. Replaced the 10" display in...

Bobby, I have a 2003 330 with a full tower (done by Cocker Marine in NC) and just re-powered with Suzuki DF300's (done by International Marine). Home port is near Atlantic City, but I run the boat to Florida for the winter (a great joy of having the 330). Would be happy to take you on a cruise...

Did you ever have any luck finding them? Mine are super faded and every time I look at them I think how much better fresh ones would look.

Nice work! The Lewmar on my 330 took a crap last year and I decided to replace it with a Good Anchor Windlass. I never really liked the Lewmar as the line would constantly knot up (both directions) and generally required someone feeding it in/out. I realize that part of the problem could have...

I have a 2003 330 that I just re-powered with Zuke 300's and it's a major upgrade from the F225's - whole different boat. Note - I'm pretty sure the Zuke 250 is the exact same engine as the 300 but programmed differently. Price was the same for the 250 and 300 (might have been the dealer...

FWIW, I just signed up with Bluewater to have the bolsters on my 2003 330 done. Will be dropping them off in January and looking forward to the new look.

Jeff, you have the very symptom of initial corrosion and it's not a question of if, rather when, it will happen on that model year engine. 1,100hrs is still VERY young for those engines so go ahead and get the corrosion issue fixed on both engines. You'll get a good chunk of it back when you...

I ended up replacing the AP11 on my 2003 330 with the AP24 VRF. I was able to use the same pump and plumbing, only changed out the displays and computer. Wired everything to my Garmin N2K backbone and everything works great together. I re-powered with 300 Zukes last year and I especially like...

Your setup sounds exactly like my last boat, a 30' Pro-line. I have the AP-11 on my current 2003 330 express and just can't seem to get the AP dialed in, even in calm seas. Heading SE, the pilot seems to work pretty well, but on the way back, BIG swings and frequent fails. On the pro-line, i...

I love my 2003 330 express, except for the speed and fuel economy - more fuel economy than anything else. I have original F225 engines that have been near bullet proof for me after 400+ hours in a year - these engines are solid, but slow on the hull. I realize the hull is only rated for 500hp...

You can get the dimensions for the Garmin units off their website, but I think you'll be disappointed with the results. The older electronics have a much larger footprint than the newer ones. I replaced two older VX1 Furuno units with Garmin 76xx units and the hole cutouts were entirely different.

You'll have much better integration with your 7610 using a Garmin AP than another brand. Essentially, you can control the Garmin AP from the 7610. Some people, after initial config, don't even mount the AP control head and just use the MFD for AP control. I installed my own Garmin AP and it...

Anyone else try the wax paper / silicone fix? Trying to dry up the bilge on my 2003 330.
