You guys might gain some insight from the below thread. There are a few more replacement parts worth investigating or replacing while you are up to your elbows in "it" already. I'm certain my issues were a combination of bellow & o-rings and duckbills. Also spend the money and by good duckbills...

I replaced my OEM Clarion stereo with a Sony DSX-M80 head unit, very easy. Unit has bluetooth, 2xUSB, AUX port plus it has built in 45 watt per channel amplifier.

FIXED it!!!!! I too chased the problem from the wrong end, but in the end my whole poop system has been replaced, repaired, or given maintenance. In the end I believe it was either the bellows & o-rings or the Duckbills or a combination of both. I have to say I value ALL of the inputs and...

1996 330DA w/ VacUFlush system. Great thread, only wish I was not troubleshooting the same issues this past weekend. But the info here is fantastic and spot on to the issues I have with my system. I replaced all 4 duckbill valves due to pure maintenance and the boat is new to me. System held...

I used the JR Marine transom cutout tempete kit on a Bravo II on my last boat and it worked great, and I did not have to remove the engine. You will have to remove the outdrive and the entire mounting assembly minus the transom plate to gain access to the pivot pen. Don't waste time installing a...

YES water will/ should flood into the boat through an open seacock value and the strainer top off. I would suspect a worn-out impeller.

There is a certain amount of "timing" involved with driving/ parking boats (both single and multiple screw). Twins do afford more control, but singles can manage pretty well with practice. I would also suggest driving towards the left finger until your bow is close then cut/ drive into your...

Highly recommend utilizing radar in busy harbors, inlets, and bays. I ran US Navy fast boats for over 15 years up and down the Ches Bay at night and fast having tightly tuned radar was the key. We could see crab pots, dingy, and rocks.

Aw like a New Englander! And those folks do speak a different language.

We back into our home slip and we always stern tie at local drinking hole. Once we got the 330DA with 4' swim platform and full bow pulpit + V Drives it only makes sense to stern tie. Plus it looks super cool when you spin and drop her in the hole. We have many dock neighbors who bow-in and...

So what's next on the 300DA build project list? We got ours put back together after a full interior remodel and now we get to enjoy it. If summer would ever arrive. Had great fireworks at our marina last night, but we came home today (4 days of on and off rain gets old).

The juice is worth the squeeze

funny, may sync is hit and miss most trips. I typically feather the throttles based on sound and feel. Then while cruising I might look down and the sync is right in the middle.

Dock wheels and corner guards are a life (hull/ fiberglass) saver. I have found that if I can at least land the stern on the wheel or the corner guard a can then "lean" on that point and swing the boat into the slip. We used to use this tactic in the Navy with our mid & small patrol craft boats...

I did the JR Marine swivel shaft repair job a few years ago on a 1994 2700 Maxum. It worked great and saved me a couple boat bucks. And yes, drilling that many holes in your transom is not for the faint of heart. Great job. And you get a super cool stainless steel cover badge on your drives.

Love my V-Drives on 330DA. They are perfect for negotiating around our small marina. We are on a 27 mi long lake, and we mostly cocktail cruise these days my 5.7L V-Drive setup is awesome. Dock neighbors with sterndrives love (or hate) to watch our boat maneuver down the fairway pivot and back...

What is "this" thing you speak of? I use a 5/8" extension swivel w/ magnetic socket well.

oops forgot the pics. The stairs have not been stained yet.

Still plugging away at the 330DA. The weather up here around Spokane, WA has been super S#ity. But we have been putting her back together when we can.

Installed a few pieces of our new interior. Had to take a couple back to upholstery shop, but the color looks awesome. No more 90s Sea Ray color scheme.
