You won't be able to replace the generator "with solar." You can definitely replace the generator with a bank of lithium batteries and an inverter - where you'll be looking at anywhere from $3k-10k depending on how much capacity you want. And once you do that, yes, the 330 does have enough...

If you have air horns, they are not factory. If you have the two "canister" horns side by side on the starboard side beneath the windshield, they are 12v horns. I just replaced mine with Ongaro Twin Horns and am happy with the output. You should have a few inches of wire to work with when you...

Jigsaw, rotozip, or oscillating saw are the tools for this job. Definitely mask the area well with painters tape. Rotozip is the least invasive but also pretty hard to control. Oscillating saw is easy to control but makes a ton of dust and your cut won't be super circular. Any of the above...

As above, Walmart has a replacement that is pretty close, or if you want stainless - Williams Sonoma for a hundred bucks. Here's my thread on it from a few years back: https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/microwave-for-a-2002-330-express.29072/ Spoiler alert - I never did replace the cracked...

Appreciate all the replies. I do have those taco holders on the starboard side of my cabin headliner, but am reluctant to put a set on the port side because then I'll be poking myself in the face with rods every time I stand near the fridge. Despite sleeping on the boat exactly once, I like to...

I read the THT thread and the BBB complaints and they both look pretty minor, you can't fault the vendor for parts delays in 2021-2022, but hey maybe they do suck at returns. I think everyone posting positive things here is just reiterating that generally they are a legitimate business. I've...

The other thread got me thinking. I have 4 rod holders mounted in the headliner of the cabin, and typically leave another 4 regularly used rods lying on the bed for storage. However, most of my setups are 6' in length, so there is technically room for them standing inside the cabin. Has...

I have F300s, so for me there was no problem putting a 5 rod holder across the back and I troll from the center holder between the motors. (I cannot, however, tilt my motors up with rods in them or they would hit the reels) However, you still have plenty of room for 3 or even 5 rod holders -...

It really depends on the boat and how far offshore you're going. As above, in a 330 you can pretty much take an entire toolbox and everything you need for most repairs and not miss the space one bit. (hell I keep a shop vac in my cabin just to save me trips inside the house when I'm doing...

I'm on my second set of F300s on my 2001 330. When I bought the boat used, the props were Quicksilver Thunderbolt 15.5x17p. Cruise low 30s, WOT 42-44, generally 1.0-1.2 mpg on plane. When I repowered, I kept those props for a bit and then moved to a set of Powertech L3 15 3/4 x 15. Boat...

When I took everything apart, mine clearly had 2" of water sitting in the blower assembly for some time. I suspect the very first time was after a hurricane we had where I took off the eisenglass - outside of that, it oculd have been my detailer one year, could have been some other mishap, who...

I was able to remove the unit entirely and disassemble. Yes, the blower is basically attached to the evaporator (just like it is in your home AC unit), but I can see how the little bit of condensate water wouldn't really matter. As far as I can see the problem is that when I wash the boat...

A few years back I retrofitted a Webasto FCF platinum A/C unit to provide helm air on my 330. I effectively installed this exactly the way Grady does, with the unit and intake under a seat, and used the oem grady panel for air outlet that blows across the cabin doorway at the helm. It would be...

I can do better than that, I can show you two different locations, as I haven't gotten around to removing the old gauge yet. LOL. With the previous owner's repower, he put the digital gauge (circa 2013) into the 'center brow' at the top of the helm. This was great for visibility, but I'm 5'11...

I'm surprised you ran into shops hesitant to hang 300s on such a big boat, but yeah, as you pointed out, grady will say no. (and potentially with good reason, doubly so since the transom on half of these is rotting away) Down here in FL I had no shortage of shops who would have been happy to...

I'm in the middle of a repower (with new steering cyls) and casually mentioned to the tech that I had pretty stiff steering and hoped this helped. He was like "oh yeah, your port motor was really stiff, even after we disconnected everything it didn't move." He acted like this wasn't...

Bumping this thread, ironically I've been searching on outboard toe but didn't find this thread until I had already fired off a question to grady. I'm repowering my 330, and I was surprised to find that my motors aren't parallel, currently the leading edge of the bullets is 0.5" closer than the...

Also curious where everyone has installed the steering pumps, I have one I never got around to installing, it is tight but easy to access behind the holding tank, or plenty of room but hard to access in the bilge at the transom. For the OP, my 330 also takes a bit of muscle to steer but isn't...

Selling my F300s to repower with.. F300s - ~1100 Hours - 25" Shaft - DEC Digital Shift/Throttle - Excellent results from oil analysis for the last 200 hours - Professionally repainted last year with new factory decals, look like new - New Yamaha Canvas motor covers - Water pumps, timing belts...

I don't think you should be having this issue with a brand new "top tier" boat. I'd compare with some other new 235 owners and see where theirs end up. Even on my 20 year old 330, the drains are a couple inches above the waterline - and good thing, too, because after 15-20 years, the hoses...
