    nice job.  I need to install some lighting like that in our 330.  i like the storage up top as well.  Not good storage in the 330.

    Agreed on the poor storage. There are a lot of cabinets but they’re all either shallow or awkward shaped. @aero3113 has done a great job. 

    Aero, where did you get those pod holders??

    @YYZRC for some reason I can’t send you the Amazon link. Here’s a screenshot.

    Strange, please post pics when you can. I do know that the ‘07 models look different but not like you describe.

    Actually that is how the ‘07 is. You must have an early ‘08.

    Any idea what this is? It was in the owners manual bag when I got the boat. Looks like a toilet part maybe??

    Is it soft like a seal or gasket, or hard plastic?

    It is hard plastic and it has four holes in it to mount to something!

    ProIsoCharge installed. Stupid name but nice looking part.

    I added a snap to the binini straps to hold them up out of the way when not in use. Side benefit, the canvas is much less prone to slapping in the wind now.

    @YYZRC no clicking noises from the ProIsoCharge?  I'm guessing you have the newer version from mine!   :)

    No chatter with engines running at the dock at least.

    Going to swap out a few of the “pop” breakers for switches so I can close out some power eaters.

    Bueno.  You would have noticed it immediately on startup.

    I'm a bit disappointed with the Hurley H2O davits.  When loading the dinghy without help (which is often), I have to pull the bow up first about half way, secure a line, and then pull the stern up.  This means that the stern of the dinghy rotates on the davit as it comes up, and due to the weight of the motor and the associated rotational forces, the plates on the H2O davits have bent/twisted significantly.

    I'm having some new plates made up out of thicker SS to hopefully solve this issue.



    Another gripe: the H2O have a small plate that can be removed and flipped to prevent the davit arms from rotating beyond 60 degrees.  The weight of the dinghy causes the plate to fail and the davit arms drop to 90 degrees.



    To solve this, I've designed some end caps out of Starboard that have a 60 degree angled tip so when the davit arms are down, they will rest against the end caps.  Hopefully they work.

    Replaced the windshield gasket today, Taylor Made part #41100024. I ordered 25’ but only needed 21’. I recommend ordering 22’ just to be safe. Cost was about $1/ft.

    Almost done the helm cover. About 10 years too late but oh well!

    Here’s my door slide solution. A piece of 1/4” starboard exactly 25” long. Works perfect to keep the solid door from sliding when the screen is closed.

    Love the helm cover! That's on our to-do list also. Getting tired of using beach towels.

    At that fuel consumption, around here that would be about $200/hour!

    It’s $225 per hour here (Canadian dollars) at that pace.

    @YYZRC I notice you have the 340 badge on your boat.  That’s odd.  From my research, 2008 was the 1st year for our model and it was badged a 330 (despite it’s 35+ foot length). The 2009 identical boat was badged a 340.  Was yours maybe built at the end of the cycle and they ran out of 330’s so starts with the 340?

    @Spyderweb , I think 2007 was the first year for the 330 (2007-2008).
