Firefly,
I have a '97 330 DA too and redid some of the canvas this past spring. Unfortunately, the camper top option was not offered with the '97 330 DA. Great Lakes refused a quote for me (call and talk with Casey Brown - very good and helpful!). I had a top-notch local guy do mine...
I too have the '97 330 DA and the shower curtain is there as others have mentioned. The door swings out, so without and inside curtain, blocking the vents at the bottom won't keep water from exiting around the door. It's not so much the vents at the bottom as it is the door allows water to run...
Here off Galveston Bay the going rate for regularly scheduled quarterly cleaning is $2.50/ft. Anodes are cost of anode plus $10 installation charge. If your bottom paint is sound, then quarterly cleaning is sufficient here. A good diver who knows what he is doing can extend the useful life of...
The blue canvas option that year (same as mine) was Sunbrella's Royal Blue Tweed.
Great Lakes Canvas can supply any of the OEM canvas pieces from that year by Sea Ray part number. Call and talk with Casey Brown - she is very helpful.

Scott,
If I can remember I will send you an Excel spreadsheet tonight with the switch info in it. Will that do?
Most of the switch specifics are available in the Sea Ray Parts catalog for the model. To get the right switches I used the Sea Ray parts numbers with Wes-Garde who is the...
I bought my 1997 330DA, 430 hours on the engines, in December 2006. On the strong recommendation of my mechanic (who is excellent) and his performance engine builder buddy, I made the switch to full synthetic (Mobil 1 15W-50). Both stated clearly that the slippery, leaky folklore is just that...
Here is a post I recently made at the Boat US site on water in gas with ethanol. It may add some insight.

Folks,
After a couple of emails, I ordered from Scott either the day he posted the pics or the day after. I received the panels, an exact match on layout to the originals, In about 10-days. I haven't swapped them yet as I haven't had the time, but the panels are gorgeous and very...
Dan,
I wish I could be of more help. The guys down the pier basically had the desire and ended up working with the folks at Maritime Sanitation. I use them for my annual service and checkup on my Vacu Flush system. So does about everyone I know. They have an excellent reputation and I...
Sebago,
I'm not sure he knows. His conversion was done just last week by the folks at Maritime Sanitation. You might call and ask to talk with Paul (the GM) - he may be able to steer you in the right direction. If you aren't down here in the upper Gulf region I imagine they will be very...
I don't know about your boat and I have no direct experience, but a 240 DA about 10 slips down the pier from me just swapped the Sani Poti for an electric head and installed a 30 gal holding tank to go with it. So, it can be done.
I just looked in the 1998 240 DA parts manual and there was...
For marine use there are two replacements widely available - FM-200 for spaces occupied by people and FE-241 for spaces that are not normally occupied.
The two main suppression manufacturers for boats are Sea-Fire and Fireboy. Both have exchange programs for updating old systems. I just...
I just used Spectrum's Patch Kit on a 1997 330 DA, and it matched very well. The problem is the oxidized layer on the surface is discolored. During wet sanding and compounding this will disappear in the repair area and can be feathered into the surrounding so that it is essentially...
