Hello, I'm looking for some diagnostic help with my Norcold DE441. It has always cooled very well, but after not using it for 6 months I switched it on (after reset) and it just cycles on and off about every 20 seconds. It appears to be getting a little cooler, but it certainly isn't acting...

It's still boating season here in Eastern North Carolina and I have a bilge blower that is growling like mad. I feel like a Rookie cause I've spent time in the bilge trying to locate the blower motor without success. Anybody out there able to tell me where they hid the blower on a 97 330 DA...

I recently broke the plastic housing encompassing the metal grab ring on the anchor/chain locker on the bow. Does anyone know where to find a new chain locker latch for a 97 330 DA? Thanks in advance...

I'll apologize in advance if this is too simple a question, but I searched the site and couldn't find specifics, so here goes. I noticed an odor yesterday after using the Vacuflush (no jokes please). Appears to be coming from a hull vent. Can someone with a late 90s 330DA tell me if and where...

Okay, A strange/unusual question. I generally wear my Sperry leather boat shoes around the decks and on my boat, but I'm looking for something lighter and easier like a pair of water shoes. Has anyone used Land's End or OP, or other water shoes on the decks? Do they do well on wet decks...

I'm looking for a source to repair or replace one or two tachs on my 97 330DA (7.4L gas v-drives). I've tried to find someone locally (in NC) without success. My starboard tach reads erratic and the needle jumps up and down. Teleflex was no help and I've tried switching the 4,6,8 switch back and...

Looking for some suggestions/help on a starting issue. My 330 DA is equipped with 7.4L MPI V-Drives. Took the boat out today for a spin to knock off some bottom junk. Got on plane @30 MPH for about 15 minutes, everything was running fine both engines humming along. Anchored and cranked up the...

Hello, I find the Mercruiser manual for my 7.4 MPI v-drives not very helpful. Anyone know how to determine from the serial number of the engine (0K189865) what belts are required? Thanks in advance, Dan

Hello All, I was unable to find an answer to this question by searching the Forum. If you are trying to save fuel while cruising slowly (8 MPH @1500-1800 RPM) down the ICW, is there any harm or disadvantage to travelling on one engine at a time? Does it really save fuel? Thanks from a...

My 97 330 Sundancer today sprung a pencil lead size leak on the starboard side 2 inches from a stringer and 3 inches in front of a raw water cooling tube in the bildge. I was alerted to it when my emergency bildge pump came on. I looked in the bildge and could see water come up through a small...

Hello, I'm new to the forum and hope someone experienced out there can help. I have a 97 330DA and the System Monitor light for the "Aft Bilge Pump" will not light when the test switch is tripped. I checked the bilge pump and it works in manual mode and the emergency pump works when I put...

Hi All, I'm new to this forum, but I thought I'd ask a question to you experienced guys out there. I have a 97 330DA with a 13 inch Panasonic TV/VCR combo. It mounts on a locking, telescoping swivel stand. I'm looking to upgrade to something with a DVD without taking up more space. Any...
