I changed mine in 2017 with Atwood 2nm LED's - no issues.

I agree that a roll-up is a pain in the ass, but it seems that all options on smaller boats are a PITA. I did the following for both my Marlin and then my 330. I purchased an 8'8" Achilles LSI in 2002 (minimal use and still going strong), featuring a high-pressure floor and air keel - very...

Use a hose and douse above that bolt - you should be able to see if water is seeping in.

Are you sure it's rainwater? Does it only leak when raining or washing down the boat - if so, you've got a caulking problem. You can spray isolated areas to see when it starts to leak. If you get the water leak when your boat's fresh water supply is pressurized, could be a leak in your...

Those connectors have to be replaced. If you want to keep connectors, I have used the Deutsch waterproof connectors to replace the stock connectors and I have been very happy with them.

I wonder if the waste hose is leaking or old enough to seep waste water - that hose discharges pumped waste out of the head thru an open thru-hull. Many of the head deodorizers color the waste water - look for signs of that colored water in the bilge area. If you see it, you're leaking...

AC on my 2003 is still going strong. I did call an AC tech this year who cleaned filters and checked settings. I didn't have to replace the Taylor-Made water pump but I do know that the replacement pump is made by March Pumps - virtually identical to the Taylor-Made unit - March Pump Assy...

I have owned both hulls and loved them both. In my opinion, the major advantage of the Marlin is the walk around ability for fishing, but that's not important to you. The 330 is much more spacious in the cabin and cockpit. A much better boat to cruise, entertain and use as a comfortable...

Started with a lake ski boat; then a 17' Whaler; then a 25' GW Advance; then a 30' GW Marlin; and for the last 13 years I have my last boat, a 330 GW Express. All my boats have been carefully selected used boats. I've enjoyed every boat I've owned, but desires, needs and wants evolve and change...

Agree with all comments above - also, verifying that I replaced nav lights with the Atwood 3500 - 2NM.

Suggest using autopilot if you have it. If not, you may want to invest in one. Computer keeps adjusting, much faster than you can, to keep your boat straight. Once at desired speed, use tabs to offset weight imbalance. In sloppy, windy conditions, trimming the engines down to get the bow...

It would be very odd not to have any prop data stamped on the prop itself. Have you taken the nut and washer off the shaft - sometimes info stamped on the prop collar.

"Start Me Up" uses 5 3/4" high font. My preference is subtle :cool:. Purchased custom name decals thru Boat US - very happy with the quality.

Interesting post - great job on the clean-up. I have a 2003 in SoCal and keep wondering when my tanks/fuel hoses may be a problem. Like you, inspections by my mechanic say all is weel. Another question, does anyone know where to buy/find the black push-in nuts that cinch down the...

The freshwater pump should cycle off and on to repressurize the freshwater line after leaking. I have dealt with this problem many times over the years - either a loose connection or bad washer at nozzle (try a different nozzle and see if it helps); or a loose clamp anywhere in the line -...

If you decide to store the cushions in the head, I would suggest putting some DAMP-RID in the head to fight off mold.

i do it a few times a year - just spray fresh water to all areas of the tank that I can get to.

Probably a Shurflo Pro Blaster.

I'd recommend a marine AC specialist look at it. These units are pretty stout and easily diagnosed by an AC specialist. If not serviced for a while, could just be filters or need a re-charge. The water pump is over 18 years old, if never changed, and could also be the issue.
