    "TANKED" anyone else see this article

    It appeared in the latest issue of BoatUS magazine and refers to replacing anodes in the water heater. I haven't read anything over the years referencing replacement (or even the existence) of these anodes. I was wondering if it is something that I have been overlooking or is it a non-issue...

    Need help from 330 & Marlin owners with vacuflush issue

    The water level in the bowl is not draining out and I periodically clean the seal as I have had the draining issue in the past. I don't know where the pressure switch is located but with the manual & looking at the system I should be able to find it. I don't know where the vacuum tank is...

    REEL SWEET *4 I wanted Reel Sweet as we have a chocolate factory and that's what bought the boat. My wife said the only thing "Reel Sweet" are our 4 grandkids, hence the *4

    Need help from 330 & Marlin owners with vacuflush issue

    About 2 years ago I had the vacuflush system serviced with new duck bill valves, etc. Everything was fine for first year and then it seemed to develop a leak with a vacuum seal. It started out where the vacuum pump would come on maybe for two or three cycles every hour or so. Now it's...

    Locking fuel cap

    The locking device is designed to fit into the fuel filler with a tab that locks into the fuel filler - without key no way to bypass the lock - the parts have been designed to be compatible - it's a Perko part & I believe it only works with Perko fillers Water has not been an issue & I have...

    Locking fuel cap

    This is what I used when I had an issue with a disgruntled used boat buyer attempting to do damage to my boat. Needless to say my fuel inlets are Perko and was a direct fit http://www.iboats.com/Locking-Insert-fo ... gKcOvD_BwE

    Transom Door Handle Broken - Grady 306

    Looking at my transom door latch - which I believe is the same, I think if you remove the bolt to the right of the pin the whole handle should come off. It seems that it should be a relatively easy task to disassemble the pin assembly and just replace the spring with any 316SS of the same size...

    Anchor

    If you remember the Sunday am storm that came up at Fort Jefferson, my "damn forth" didn't hold at all - I have since gone to a Mantus which is either a knokoff or an improvement to the Rocna, depending on your point of view

    330 Express Interior Dome Lights

    "Figured it out, just rotate the base and they pop off, frame and lens together, revealing the bulb and reflective surface. Effort less. Just ordered all interior bulbs in led from superbrightleds dot com, the halogen ones output too much heat." Is it just a straight replacement of the led's...

    330 Express Interior Dome Lights

    If you are referring to the three small dome lights over the v-berth, they are 5 watt Halogen (I believe) and you access them by pulling the entire fixture down. The fixture is held in with two spring clamps that flip up when you pull down on the fixture. The only place I found them was on...

    New member in NJ seriously interested in 330 express

    I purchased my 2002 330 with in 2011. I knew the boat as it had one owner and kept it in the same marina as my old 22' Pursuit. I have the 5Kw gas genny and like it because I don't have to maintain 2 different types of fuel. The halon system in bilge keeps me comfortable from a safety point...

    jip40..Question.

    Yes, they have Rec 90 fuel in virtually all of the marinas in the Big Bend Area. I use https://activecaptain.com/fuelLists/fue ... &sort=city to find best the best prices as there is frequently a $.30-$.50 per gallon difference & I hold 350 gal - price difference can pay for dinner. BTW in 11...

    jip40..Question.

    The trip odometer has that leg at 83 miles - I believe that the actual distance from offshore Steinhatchee to the entrance of the Carrabelle river was 73 miles. My entire trip was 508 miles & Garmin fuel computers showed an average of 1.17 mpg, I ran at 4500-4700 rpm which pushes the 330 (with...

    Need advice Yamaha corrosion issue

    Brian Linda never liked the marina in the keys, she is really partial to St George Island. Combine that with a lot of wind in the keys, except mid summer & then it is brutally hot, and the fishing has dropped off significantly. Had two good trips while down there. In April I ran the boat to...
