    Vent window handle removal

    Two separate pieces on either side of the glass wing. The two pieces unscrew form each other. I can't remember if there is a small phillips head screw in the outside piece or if the entire outside piece unscrews. There was another thread regarding the vent closures and Taylor Marine in...

    Adding a Cruising Anchor for 330 Express

    I had a custom 27 lb SS grappling anchor for general use, including over-nighting in northern GOM - worked great. Then I took the boat to the keys for a couple of years and anchor wouldn't hold at all in soft sand. I wound up getting a Mantus 33 lb (similiar to Rocna) anchor & had the same...

    Possible Future 330 Express Owner

    Keep in mind that when you are 3 miles offshore, (1) open through hull, (2) flip circuit breaker, (3) turn key to pump overboard - only takes a couple of minutes. My marina has a self use pump out station, that is rarely used & I still find it easier to pump overboard.

    Roof air on a 330 Express

    Great idea - but wondering what you did with the life jackets that were under the webbing under the hardtop- for me it would be a pain to keep hauling them out of the cabin as we use both berths quite a bit - is it practical to have a cutout created to still store them in helm area? Would you...

    Re-power or sell and buy newer used?

    My 330 with F225's is 17 years old. I have owned it for 8 years. I have averaged approx. $3,000 per year in maintenance and upgrades (including electronics, full enclosure, etc). The engines have 1400+ hours on them & run great, have not had exhausts done and tech says all is OK (?). If the...

    330 Express Questions

    Curious as to what people store in the compartment below the aft berth. Clearly it is open to bilge so anything should be able to take some dampness. Anyone done modifications to the storage on the port side in the cockpit, below the sink and cooler? I'd like to keep the majority of my...

    330 Express Questions

    No the generator weighs 200 lbs - the four batteries are in the port area in rear cockpit - the fish box takes up most of the transom & the generator is under the fish box - my boat has a very wet bilge which causes havoc with the generator

    Any 330 owners have a Good F850 windlass

    One of the first things I did after purchasing the boat 8 years ago was having the handheld remote installed - prior to that anchoring was a royal PITA. Enlarging the hole to the locker might be an excellent solution. It's an arms length reach from the anchor locker hatch forward to the point...

    Any 330 owners have a Good F850 windlass

    I do have 500’ extra anchor line in locker under the 300’ of line attached to the anchor- I have a plastic insert between the two lines but maybe the extra line is reducing the drop & causing the problem - I will be down at the boat a week from today & first thing I will do is remove the 500’ &...

    Any 330 owners have a Good F850 windlass

    Dennis - I first had the kinking problem with 3 strand twisted line - I tried the trailing line & soaking in fabric softener - neither worked Someone suggested I go with 8 plait as it’s softer - did the trailing route & fabric softener before using anchor - results were a little better than 3...

    Any 330 owners have a Good F850 windlass

    I have gotten tired of having to use two people to deploy anchor (one at helm and one at winlass). I have what I believe to be the original, Lewmar 600 windlass. The person at the windlass has to baby the chain & rode (1/2" 8 plait) to ensure a smooth drop without kinks, and then tie off the...

    330 Express Questions

    I’ve had my 2002 330 for 8 years & have been through the same 2 questions you have. The ram for the electronics console needed to be replaced about 6 years ago. As I remember the length of the ram for the replacement was a little shorter so the base needed to be mounted a little higher. You get...
