    Official 330 Express Cruiser / 340 Amberjack 1997-2003 Thread

    Sorry I'm not replying to anything in particular just asking for advice on a new cabin fridge. Need one for a 97 330 EC. Direct replacement, don't want to cut or adapt unless absolutely necessary and in particular not have to disassemble it to get it through the cabin door. Is this possible...

    97 330 EC Bilge pump wiring diagram

    Hello ladies and gentlemen, Just commissioning the boat for the summer and found several wires to the main and backup bilge pumps completely corroded through and disconnected. Does anyone have a thorough wiring diagram for the main and backup pumps. Oddly enough the ones in the engine...

    97 330 EC swim ladder

    Has anyone had to replace their swim ladder. Mine would not extend so I took it home and it is completely jammed up. Sprayed it with PB Blaster for a few days and it will not budge. The plastic coated metal slides between the steps are completely corroded and deteriorating and most likely not...

    97 330 EC Cruising Speed

    That's what I've been running it at. They seem happy there and the speed is right on according to the GPS so I guess the tachs just needed a good run. The boat only had 279 original hours on it so they didn't get much use.

    97 330 EC Refrigerator Replacement

    The wife isn't happy with the condition of the refrigerator. It's a little rusty inside, paint is peeling off the front panel on the bottom and the door latch is missing. Actual all of that when I looked at it and planned on replacing it. On top of that I can't get it working and even if I do...

    Refrigerator makes click sound nothing else

    Back again. 97 Express Cruiser 330. Pulled the fridge out. It powers indicator lights up under the door where the power button/thermostat control is and I hear a click from the metal box on the back but nothing else happens. No cooling, fan or noise otherwise. Anyone have any suggestions.

    God was watching over me

    In the picture you'll see that there is no fitting on the end after the crimped connection. This is the end of the line that went into the fuel rail. Since the repair won't be completed until next week I made a fuel line to get me back on the water. I cut the metal portions off both ends of the...

    God was watching over me

    A surveyor is not required to check on recalls for components on the boat. Their job is to determine the overall physical condition of the boat and the value for insurance and finance purposes. as far as the sea trial is concerned it is for Operation and function of the components. In other...

    And the fuel was coming from the engine they just rebuilt.

    Just purchased and drove a 97 Express Express friday from Connecticut to Brick New Jersey. Purchased from the original owner and only had 279 hours. The top end of the starboard engine wasw just rebuilt, but that's another story, so this was the first trip with the motor. Absolutely perfect...

    97 330 EC Cruising Speed

    As we all know there are many degrees of being up on plane and comfortably driving but some speeds could give you half the mileage than other speeds. I'm no Miser but I just don't want to unnecessarily burn fuel at these prices. I'll probably shoot for about 22 to 23 miles an hour. You think...

    97 330 EC Cruising Speed

    thanks for the response. The boat holds 275 gallons. Just trying to not burn it all up. One engine was just rebuilt and has one hour on it the other one has 275. I know I will have to fluctuate my speed a bit in the beginning because of the rebuild and I figured 3200 would be a good cruising...

    97 330 EC Cruising Speed

    Picking up the above boat Friday (hopefully) in Connecticut and driving it to the New Jersey Shore. It's the model with the 13.5 foot beam. It has 7.4 MPI 330 horsepower engines. I don't have time to hook my floscan up before bringing it back and the tachs are way off. Can someone give me a...

    No can do. I don't even want to spend the 50 k. It's all about what I have on hand on top of the insurance money. No wiggle room at all after 50 and very little before that. Believe me I'd love to upgrade even more but it's just not in the cards.

    Thanks. I appreciate it. Going to look at one today. Haven't boat shopped in 14 years. I'm like a kid in a candy store.

    I really loved that boat. According to the insurance adjuster the marina did not block it correctly and the weight of the boat overtook the hull and the cinder blocks went straight through it into my cabin. It was not blocked on a bulkhead. Marina tried to say the coring in the hall was rotted...

    The engine compartment was a major issue. Read some things indicating it was impossible to work on the engines because of the access. I fish a lot offshore and wanted a clean self-draining cockpit with no engine access for that purpose. My Trojan has a 13 foot beam and almost the same cockpit as...

    Due to an unfortunate accident on land my 33 foot Trojan was just completely destroyed beyond repair. I'm in the market for a similar-sized boat and I've pretty much settled on a 33 foot Sea Ray. Probably going to be in the 1999 range. Not sure if I'm going with an Express Cruiser or a...
