https://www.westmarine.com/whitecap-door-holder-with-cushion-316-stainless-steel-15578768.html I used this latch to upgrade my 2003 Express. Works great - positive lock when door is open.

That is correct.

I replaced the original Horizon windlass on my 330 Express with the Lewmar Pro Fish 700 about a year ago. I use 50 feet of chain. So far, I'm happy.

My moment came when my grandson showed me how he put protective covers on my twin Yamahas. He clipped the cover strap in place BEFORE working the covers over the engine. I've been struggling with installation for years - trying to buckle up last! He definitely helped this old man!

Turns out that White Water's two offerings are too wide and too narrow. An inner span of 19 - 20 inches would be perfect.

White Water is the manufacturer.

Chain is heavy & bulky - are you having a problem holding? What anchor do you have? I would suggest more chain, but not all chain. I have a 2003 330 Express, with a Delta 22 lb. anchor, 50 ft. of 1/4" HT chain and 300' of 8 plait nylon line. With this configuration, I have never had a problem...

I have west coast 2003 330 Express. Both tanks original. So far OK - but I know that the clock is ticking down!!

I'm interested in this for my 330. I'm very anxious to see if you find the right footrest solution.

I had replaced the brass drain tubes twice on my 2003 Express 330. Then my repair facility suggested using thick wall fiberglass tubing. I'll never have to worry about changing the drain tubes again! Whatever you decide to do, compromised drain tubes must be replaced to prevent transom rot.

Sorry - the 12/29/25 thread compared the 300 Marlin with a 330 Express - but key comparisons probably similar.

Same topic discussed extensively on this forum on 12/29/25.

My problem is merchandise availability. I'd order 2 "Uniquely Grady-White short sleeve T-shirts" right now, but they only have small & triple XL sizes available!!

:)

Who is behind the helm driving the boat????

Don't forget the brass thru hull tubes. You're right, a questionable design that requires the owner, as the boat ages, to repair and SEAL all the potential weak areas. The tricky part is finding and fixing ALL of them BEFORE they become a problem!

I remember dealing with one of those macerators on my former 90's GW Advance. Thanks for the memories, albeit not a good memory :cool:.

My "security" may be greatly influenced by my +75 age :cool:. However, I have no problem maneuvering around the boat (plenty of rails to hold on to) for access to the anchor/windlass and other boat operation functions. I get nervous when casting or handling "hot" fish. My younger angler...

I've been an owner of a 2003 Express 330 for the last 15 years and owned a Marlin 30 for over 5 years before the 330. I've experienced many GW hulls, and the Marlin and 330, in my opinion, are among the most seaworthy and versatile. The Marlin walkaround feature was a dream for fishing, but...

I have a 2003 330 Express, purchased her used in early 2011, progressively moving up from a Boston Whaler and two smaller Gradys. Changed name to "Start Me Up" and she lives in Newport Beach, CA. Re-powered in 2021 with twin 4.2 liter 250 Yamahas. Primary used for offshore fishing, family...
