    Any express owners remove enclosure based on weather?

    Big smiley faces on side panels, front panel too & rear panels rolled up made it tolerable

    Any express owners remove enclosure based on weather?

    Thanks for the responses. After reading them and thinking it through I am leaning toward keeping the three pieces between the windshield & hardtop on all the time & opening the center smiley face on real hot days. I will have to see what it's like without the side panels as far as wind and...

    Any express owners remove enclosure based on weather?

    I am having a new enclosure made for my 2002 330 and I have to send the old one to be used as a pattern for the new enclosure. I removed the enclosure on Friday, which was quite an experience since I don't believe it had been removed in the past 16 years. After removing the enclosure the feel...

    Any 330 owners with freefall windlass operation problems?

    Re: Any 330 owners with freefall windlass operation problems Dennis - thanks for the tip on untwisting the line, I hadn't thought about doing it that way. Any suggestions on how to ensure that the swivel is actually swiveling?

    Any 330 owners with freefall windlass operation problems?

    I have a 2002 330 with the original Lewmar Horizion 600FF windlass. I've had the boat about seven years & it came with 3 strand twisted rode. For the first 4 years I had to continuously manually handle the rode as it would free fall or the rode would kink and jam the gypsy. About 2 years...

    "TANKED" anyone else see this article

    This is kind of what I was thinking plus I have no idea how difficult a job it is on a 330. If it's relatively easy I may try it - if not easy I will probably take my chances

    "TANKED" anyone else see this article

    It appeared in the latest issue of BoatUS magazine and refers to replacing anodes in the water heater. I haven't read anything over the years referencing replacement (or even the existence) of these anodes. I was wondering if it is something that I have been overlooking or is it a non-issue...

    Need help from 330 & Marlin owners with vacuflush issue

    About 2 years ago I had the vacuflush system serviced with new duck bill valves, etc. Everything was fine for first year and then it seemed to develop a leak with a vacuum seal. It started out where the vacuum pump would come on maybe for two or three cycles every hour or so. Now it's...

    Locking fuel cap

    The locking device is designed to fit into the fuel filler with a tab that locks into the fuel filler - without key no way to bypass the lock - the parts have been designed to be compatible - it's a Perko part & I believe it only works with Perko fillers Water has not been an issue & I have...

    Locking fuel cap
