I had the same thing years ago on my 330. Running new wire was the way to go. Nice work.

Thanks and no intent to jack this thread (which seems over anyway...) My 2006 330 has the AC system that of course circulates seawater (a la heat exchanger) and dumps the circulated sea water out of a waterline thru hull on the port side. So I suppose, there is a condensation type additional...

If you and your wife plan to do overnights, you might reconsider getting one with a generator. And, while you're pondering that, I'd also suggest you find one with a bow thruster. These two items are very handy and add value to the boat. I also have rigged my 330 with a helm pedestal table...

I never knew that the AC system dumps water or at least condensation into the shower sump. Is this true? My 330 plumbing schematic for the AC system does not show this. Maybe it's different on the 2016's...

I make my own Salt Away (too expensive for my common sense budget). A fellow GW pal of mine turned me on to this. In a one gallon jug, I mix 25% White Distilled Vinegar with a cup of automobile soap and fill the rest with water. I make gallons of this for pennies on the dollar compared to...

"This late in the game with my motor at 1260 hours and primarily freshwater use, not sure I'll benefit any at all using Salt Away." >>>> Agreed.

I agree with Fishtales on a valise type raft. You really don't want that kind of weight up there. My initial thought was if he had a hardtop mounted raft, that could be why he had the leaks in the first place.

There worse boat projects than yours - I just can't think of it right now...

Do you have a life raft installed on your hard top?

FWIW - when I changed my spreader lights to LED, I installed one of my old Halogens up front with a switch to illuminate my foredeck for night time anchoring. It was easy to do since all I needed was a good 12V switch to mount in my upper cabinet where there is a small 12V fuse panel there...

After every use of your livewell, you should clean and dry it out anyway. I use an "Absorber" shammy for this. It always gets my livewell dry for the next trip. I like your ingenuity on the install!

Upon further review, I think I'm back to the Fusion radio set up. I need a display of what Sirius channel I'm on at the helm, which the Rockville doesn't provide. All I really do is listen to Sirius and my son will play (country) music off his iPhone. I will pay for the Fusion - just need to...

Thank you for this very much. Nice to know there is another option than the $800 Fusion. I think I'll follow your path with the Rockville.

Looking for any tips or suggestions from someone who has been there, done that on a Fusion radio swap out. I have a 2006 330 Express with the standard Kenwood satellite radio with the main head unit in the cabin above the flat panel TV and a small 3 or 4" remote pad to the left of the helm. It...

Lucky it all ended that way. Good on you to discover quick what went wrong and order the replacement parts. I agree with what the mechanic advised (above) on periodically checking the steering fluid. Think about it - we carry spare parts for this and that. Many of us have two engines, two or...

Remember way back when when we pondered a trade? In a moment of weakness, I was thinking of downsizing to a CC like yours. In summary for me - I just couldn't separate myself (and my family) from our 330. Looks like everything worked out just fine for you. You had your share of sleepless...

My guess - since you said your strainer was full of crap, when you cleaned it out - perhaps a little bit of that crap went into your pump thus jamming it. So, I would focus on un-jamming it somehow (remove and bench test it somehow). If it still doesn't pump, I'd replace it. A jammed pump...

"I wish I had just proactively replaced the exhaust. It would have saved me 55K." I did exactly this for my 2006 F250's almost two years ago. I was worried sick about having to replace two expensive engines unplanned. So, I had the procedure done at 1,300 hours. End result for me was the...

Yes, Greenwood ply absorbs water. Does this condition cause significant weakness in the transom? I don't know. But, in general, I think not or we all would know this by now. I sort of view it like a pressure treated 4X4 you put in the ground. Sure it gets wet - it has to! But how many of...

If you really want to control water leaks, know that those pop up plates are no match for the screw in type. I converted a while back and have been very happy with everything staying DRY underneath.
