Crew... i just changed my impellers last weekend. I have a good tip. Take the whole pump assembly out of the boat by removing the half moon bracket and then replacing the impeller on the bench. It is the only way to do this. I didn't know about removing the bracket and I took the pump...

JW....regarding your charger question. There are fuses on the lines running to the batteries. One of my fuses were blown and it wasn't charging the battery (happened to be stb start). I could never find the fuse! I think it was buried in the harness. I ended up running a new line to...

Mine broke too. I think I called Perko and there was a nice person there who helped me get the replacement part for it. This was years ago so I don't remember all the details. I'd start with them.

Speaking of the swim platform ladder. Mine (1997) is very hard to extend because the slides are all corroded between each step extension. Anyone know where I can get replacement parts for the ladder. It has a sticker on it that is mostly worn away. I think it mentions a company in Florida...

Tom....Hello, I think we have the identical boat and I was wondering if you could tell me about your 4 blade prop performance. How much did it change fuel performance (+/-) and docking characteristics. I'm interested to know how you like them. Regards, Joe

Hello. I am a fellow 330 owner, 1997 to be exact!. One thing I had a problem with that maybe others might run into is the shower drain was cracked below the floor in the bathroom so every time we took a shower the aft cabin carpet would get wet. I ended up having to cut a hole from the main...

Thank you. I'll have to get one of those connectors. Maybe I'll make one. Joe

After sitting plugged into shore power for 3 weeks (all summer really), my port house batteries are dead (less than 5V). I've been having trouble keeping my house batteries topped off for the past 2 years since I purchased the boat. The batteries were brand new this spring. Trojans...

I just used Great Lakes for my boat canvas too. They are a great company to work with. Very nice people with great service.

John, So I was finally able to get back to the genny tonight. I think I have better news. I installed the new riser since someone told me they can develop crack sometimes which are hard to see but will shoot water into the genny. I figured I'd change it out with a new gasket to be safe...

Hey John, I'll give it a try tomorrow. I called Hansen Marine (westebeke distributer) and ran my compression numbers by one of the guys. They said they were ok. He says it's either a carb problem or a govener problem. He says they are seeing a lot of ethonol problems. My bet it's...

John, Thanks again for help. 1. Hrs on Genny: ~530. Ran like a charm all last year. Surveyor loaded to max output with no problems about 12 months ago when I purchased the Boat. 2. In the fall I first saw the water on the center plug. As I looked more, even the stern one had little...

If forgot to mention something a local marine mechanic told me. He said that the engine is not large enough to bend something due to water. He said it wouldn't crank over but not bend anything. Keep in mind that this genny wasn't running and ingest water causing hydro-lock. It...

Thanks for your replies guys. Here is the latest: Compression: I did the compression test this evening. I did each cylinder with the other 2 cylinders having their spark plugs in (if it makes a difference). The engine was cold. #1 Bow cylinder: 230PSI #2 Center cylinder: 195 PSI...

In the fall, I found water in one of my cylinders on my genny when I was winterizing it. I beleive I cranked it too many times before it started without turning off the sea water supply. All I can figure is the exhaust system filled up and backed up into the engine. Long story short, I took...

So I put the boat (1997 330 DA, twin Inboard) in the water today and had to take it back out about 1 hour later. I thought it was a little strange the bilge pump kept running! One of the rudder assemblies was leaking between the flange on the bottom and the fiberglass. The packing nut was...

Does anyone have a 330 Dancer out of the water who could take a look at your rudders for me when they are set on center? I've had different opinions from people who I consider very knowledgeable about boats. Regarding rudder alignment on a 330 Dancer. Do you think they should be (when...

I have the same boat and didn't even think there was a sub woofer. As far as I knew there were only speakers downstairs mounted in the ceiling.

Thanks Guys. I'll change them all out. I think I'll get them at boatzincs.com I'm on the sound. Sure is cold this morning! Hopefully it won't rain a lot like it did last year. .....Joe

Thanks Guys. Great Lakes Co are a very nice group of people Very helpfull. They sent me some samples of the colors. I'll be making my decision this weekend on the color! Was putting on the snaps difficult? Did you buy a special commercial crimper? .........Joe
