    Need Insurance Recommendation

    I used to have insurance thru Boat US, but when they partnered with Geico things went downhill. I had the same experience with nonsensical rate increases. I dumped them and went with AAA of SoCal and I'm very happy. Unfortunately, not an option for you back East. Look around, I'm sure it...

    Air Conditioning / Heating

    Final closing report - generator flushed and a few clogged fittings cleared - all good now with both generator and AC/Heat. I'm ready for tuna and summer.

    NE Boat Show

    After reading those prices, I went to my slip and petted my 2003 Express 330, promising to treat her well and keep her going forever. :cool:

    Air Conditioning / Heating

    Follow-up. Turns out it was a low voltage problem coming from the generator. I plugged in shore power and all was fine with AC/heat. Now I have to trouble shoot the generator :(.

    Air Conditioning / Heating

    I have a 2003 330 Express. The air conditioner/heater unit has stopped working. The control panel shuts down seconds after startup. I rarely use the system, but I have regularly exercised it during visits to the boat. I have not ever had the unit serviced and all components have never been...

    What's on your list for winter projects?

    Replaced main engines last year, so that major project/expense is done. Also, replaced most Eisenglass with Lexan. Just replaced the original washdown and freshwater pumps - they we're working, but 20 years is long enough! Now the AC/Heating acting up (20 years trouble free) so that's next...

    Replacement of bolster cushions

    Kirk - I have a 2003 and all the guidance given is spot on. Looks like your boat is a little newer, based on the water supply under the gunnel, but removal should be the same.

    Good Electrical Lesson Learned

    I again just swapped out all four of my Deka DC27's after 4 1/2 years. Everything electrical was working fine and some of you may think I'm way too cautious...... but I've never been stranded 60 miles from home :cool:.

    Another prop post + performance question. 2005 Seafarer 228 with F225

    I'm pretty sure that a 17M is a stainless-steel Saltwater Series15 1/4 x 17. That's what I had on my twin 225 hp 2003 Grady 330. I agree with others that the problem is not the prop - I think it's an engine tuning problem.

    Considering upgrading to a 30 Marlin from a 265 Express

    I upgraded from a 30 Marlin to 330 Express. I loved the Marlin's walk around layout for fishing but did not like the cramped comfort level for overnighters and helm seating limitations when taking three or more people fishing. I thought the ride of the Marlin was outstanding, but the size and...

    330 Express Windlass Breaker Question

    A photo of the switch area would help. On my 2003 33 the Main breaker is in the stern box and my Windlass breaker is in the helm area under the steering wheel (Bussman 50 amp lever types with red trip button). I also have 3 low voltage push button (red) breakers for bilge float switches and...

    Mystery Items on my 282

    i have a 2003 330 Express. Factory used the Pro-Blaster 2088's for both washdown and fresh water, adding an accumulator tank to the freshwater system. You can find the manufacture date at the bottom right of the pump (can't quite make yours out). I just changed my 2003 pumps out yesterday...

    MFD's

    I had room for two displays - a 12 and a 9. When running to offshore destination, the 12 is split with chart/navigation and the 9 is dedicated to radar. When at fishing destinations, 9 is switched over to fish finder. Of course, other functions, engine management, tides, waypoints, etc...
