I have family staying in Seaside Park for the 4th of July weekend and they asked us to come down with the boat for the weekend. I've never been in the Bay here, only passed by out in the ocean. My boat is roughly 50' and draws about 52" fully loaded. Is there anywhere we can stay? Is there...
I sure am going to miss being part of such an amazing community. We are replacing the 330 with a Riviera 4400 Sport Yacht. The friendships, resources and great stories this message board has offered is like no other. I'll still be here trolling around and will still be part of the northeast...

For those of you that have performed this upgrade, how complicated was it? Are there any tricks one should know about? Hoe extensive is the setup once completed. On a separate note, I wanted to add freshwater tank level, waste tank level and generator to the VesselView 7 (did not have these...
Of course, the week I decide to take a 300 mile boating trip, the cruise control function on my vesselview decides to bail. When I scroll to the cruise control screen it says "this option not available". What failed? Where do I look? How do I troubleshoot? I've grown accustomed to using it and I...
I have a 2008 Sea Ray 330 Sundancer with twin Mercruisers in a V-drive configuration. The boat is equipped with DTS. Both engines run great and I've had no performance issues however I have noticed a consistent yet slight lag on the acceleration on the starboard engine. If I were to do a test...
So I removed the through-hull underwater lights from the transom of my 330 and I now have 2 holes that are roughly 2.5" in diameter. I'm interested in hearing opinions on the correct method of filling these openings. I've been told that tapering from both sides and layering in fiberglass is...
I have an ‘08 330 Sundancer that currently does not have the Kenyon electric grill. When we were boat shopping, we felt that the grill ate up too much counter space in the cockpit so we looked for one without the option. We’ve been using a Magma propane grill with a rod holder mount which works...
I was able to pick up a sonar/fishfinder unit (DSM300) for a great price. I rarely fish off the boat but it is nice to have for diving shipwrecks are analyzing new anchorages. I'm sure someone here knows the answer to this question: When factory installed, does the DSM300 share the transducer...
I have a 2008 330 with 8.1 v-drives and DTS and I want to add an autopilot. The chartplotter is a Raymarine C80 with 2kw radar. I've never had an autopilot before so I'm looking for any info that would help me make the right decision. I'm just now beginning my research so assume that my...
I'm tapping the knowledge vault here in the hopes that I'll find someone who has dealt with this issue. Here's the story...I have a 2008 Kohler 5ECD with about 290 hours on it. The generator is properly cared for, maintained, and had no issues up until this. So we are on the hook a few weekends...
So the VHF radio on my Sea Ray 330 has a unique problem. It transmits fine for an acceptable distance (confirmed by a fellow boater 10 miles down the river) but will not break squelch on the receive end. The Antenna and antenna cable is brand new, no splices and the cable is only 10'. I...
For those of you that cruise the waters around New York City and Long Island, where are your favorite hang out destinations? I make the trip often up the Hudson River to Croton to raft up with friends and enjoy the water but I want some new destinations. Preferably in the Long Island Sound or...
I'm new to the forum as I'm just now finalizing my purchase of a 2008 Sea Ray 330 Sundancer. Until now, I've always been a garmin guy but this boat comes with the Raymarine C80 chartplotter. The very first thing I plan to add is the radome for radar. I spoke to raymarine and plan to go with a...
