My friend has a 2008 330 and doesn't know where his A/C unit is located. He believes its in the engine compartment. Is that true..? I haven't been able to get on his boat to look or find a schematic to look myself. His air filter is in the overhead of the aft sette area on the port side, and his condensate discharge is under the deck in front of the stairs. But where is the A/C unit itself?
If you could send me an e-mail reply, it would be appreciated. Paul Fineberg (paul_g_fineberg@raytheon.com)
:smt038 WOW that is a great improvement. I get 24K at 3200RPM on my 7.4L engines. You must be more fuel efficient now! Would you credit it to the new tabs or the re-worked props?
Hey Tom, This is my first season with my 97 330 DA. Aside from the pressing issue of replacing a port side bilge vent cover damaged on Labor Day ( I've posted all over this site) I also have a fresh water issue. When hooked to shore water I'm good, great pressure. When using onboared tank via water system, my pressure is terrible and spurts alot of air. Now I'm coming from a 79 260 DA and it's night and day in these 2 bilges. I think I hear some air sucking toward the port side. do you think its these old whale fittings? Thanks. Todd:smt021 Now I don't how I missed your post so sorry for the delay in responding...
WELCOME to the 13 year old whale 15mm fittings in a hot engine room club. I have most of mine now replaced on the water heater and the fresh water pump. As soon as you touch those things they will not seat properly again and start to leak due to their age. The O ring and the grey collar that sits in the fitting are what need to be replaced, the finger on the collar will crack and break first causing it to not hold the PEX pipe in there tight and suck air or blow water under pressure. I think they are whale fittings and I don't believe that the parts that FWS sells (collars and O rings) may or may not fit. Its easier by far to just buy the whole 15mm fitting then you are sure of no hassles for some time.
www.freshwatersystems.com is your friend. They have all the neat 15mm fittings you could want. Or you can check with your local dealer to see what they stock. The threaded connectors are 1/2 NPT fittings and FWS has 15mm to 1/2 NPT fittings. You may have a copper nipple on the hot water heater that is a 1/2 NPT to 15mm tube that the connectors push onto. If you do anything, first thing I would try is to clean that tube, the tube has to be clean for a good seal. If still no luck you can get the 15mm fittings from FWS and get some T's and 90 degree ones and replace them all while you are down there... It will cost around $50 but it is well worth the time and effort to have a fresh water system that works. It took me 3 weeks of fiddling around and now finally (fingers crossed) its working and no leaks...
If you have any questions feel free to PM me!
Newbie 330 owner here. How do you guys go about winterizing the cockpit ice maker? Specifically, how do you go about disconnecting the water line that feeds it. I took a quick and dirty look at it, and it looks like SeaRay built the boat around it.

lol....i took mine out and threw it away and now use that space for storage....hehe.
Yeah, my wife wants to get rid of it too and replace it with a refrigerator. Told her that is not in the cards yet. Still have to figure out how to get the waterline disconnected.lol....i took mine out and threw it away and now use that space for storage....hehe.
