    330 outriggers

    When I purchased my 330 it looked just like themikehyde’s boat with the side mount 25’ outriggers. The guy I bought it from kept it in the water so it wasn’t an issue for him. I wanted to keep it on a rack inside storage. It quickly became an issue as I had to lay the outriggers down to put...

    Added a WiFi Booster and a Cell Signal Booster

    I went to place an order for the WiFi Camp Pro 2 on Amazon when I realized that it appears to require 110v power - it looks like you have it mounted on the separator plate between the two electronics boxes - is there 110v up there or where did you have to run the power from? Thanks, Jeff

    Helm Seat Height...and other seat discussions

    I used this one on my 330. The only issue I had was that the 6" rise made it too high & difficult to stand when I had the tilt helm tilted all the way up. I took 2" off the rise and it is now a perfect fit for me. Sitting I can see over the compass & pulpit and standing the seat hits me...

    Replacing the Halogen Indirect Rope light in 330 Express

    Hey usmm Just came across this thread don't know how I missed it when you originally posted it. This upgrade has been on my 2Do list for a few years - yeah that's typical of me but I do eventually get around to most of them. One side of my original rope lighting is approx 20% operational &...

    Water leaks on 330 at the four forward base mounts for hardtop support

    I have called customer support over the past 8 years at least half a dozen times & the support has always been courteous and helpful - it's definitely the easiest way to find out about the coring - thanks

    Water leaks on 330 at the four forward base mounts for hardtop support

    Good question - I don't know! I will have to remove one of the bolts, measure it , replace it & see how much sticks through. Unfortunately, with holidays and travel it will probably be January before I can get to the boat & begin on this project - fortunately the boat is stored indoors. I...

    Water leaks on 330 at the four forward base mounts for hardtop support

    Thanks for the input - I guess it would have been wiser to give a little more info as to what I actually did. I did remove the 3 bolts (phillips head with washers and nuts on the under side - there is no backing plate just washers and nuts) from all of the four supports at the same time. I...

    Water leaks on 330 at the four forward base mounts for hardtop support

    I have been fighting reoccurring water leaks in the cabin from the bases of the forward stainless supports for the hardtop & was wondering if it is a common problem or something unique to my boat. It seems to be more of a problem with the two inner supports versus the two outer supports. I...

    Finally on the Loop. Pictures.

    Hey Wahoo I can see by your last photo at the dock that you made it to the Moorings in Carrabelle - you're in a comfortable and protected dock for now. Be aware that when you poke your bow out into the river that current can be running pretty fast especially if there is significant rain north...

    Vent window handle removal

    Two separate pieces on either side of the glass wing. The two pieces unscrew form each other. I can't remember if there is a small phillips head screw in the outside piece or if the entire outside piece unscrews. There was another thread regarding the vent closures and Taylor Marine in...

    Adding a Cruising Anchor for 330 Express

    I had a custom 27 lb SS grappling anchor for general use, including over-nighting in northern GOM - worked great. Then I took the boat to the keys for a couple of years and anchor wouldn't hold at all in soft sand. I wound up getting a Mantus 33 lb (similiar to Rocna) anchor & had the same...

    Possible Future 330 Express Owner

    Keep in mind that when you are 3 miles offshore, (1) open through hull, (2) flip circuit breaker, (3) turn key to pump overboard - only takes a couple of minutes. My marina has a self use pump out station, that is rarely used & I still find it easier to pump overboard.

    Roof air on a 330 Express

    Great idea - but wondering what you did with the life jackets that were under the webbing under the hardtop- for me it would be a pain to keep hauling them out of the cabin as we use both berths quite a bit - is it practical to have a cutout created to still store them in helm area? Would you...

    Re-power or sell and buy newer used?

    My 330 with F225's is 17 years old. I have owned it for 8 years. I have averaged approx. $3,000 per year in maintenance and upgrades (including electronics, full enclosure, etc). The engines have 1400+ hours on them & run great, have not had exhausts done and tech says all is OK (?). If the...
