    Locking gas Caps

    This is what I have for my two tanks on my 2002 330 - they fit under the gas caps and block the full Perko Fuel Fill Locking Insert. Google it I couldn’t copy the link

    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...

    Windshield washer on 330?

    When I bought my 2002 330 in 2011, the original owner said he had disconnected and capped it off because he had multiple issues with leaking in the cabin

    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...

    Lost a trim tab on 330 need replacement

    Thanks seasick - I found the 20" plane under the parts section which I hadn't seen when I was on the site before. Unfortunately, I need the entire trim tab system and it doesn't appear to be offered in 20" size. Plus Overton's offered a 30% discount which brought the delivered price close to...

    Lost a trim tab on 330 need replacement

    Had the boat pulled from the water after the first week of ARS season - surprise, the port trim tab was missing. My year they used a 12" x 20" Bennett tab. Bennett now only makes 18" & 24" tabs. Talked to Grady & they gave me a phone number for Bennett which only gets you to voicemail...

    Comparing 330 Express Years 2004 and 2008

    I have a 2002 330 with original F225's (approx 1,400 hours). I bought the boat in 2011 from the original owner. I used to keep the boat full of fuel, topping off prior to going offshore each time. This year I started out with some old fuel so I decided to drain both tanks before adding any...

    Converting ladder from old style to new on 2002 330

    Well that's a bitch - just checked out some photos - don't know why but I thought you could get to the underneath area, guess I would have been real surprised on Sunday when I got to my boat. Looks like I will be going with a top mount & possibly on the port side. Any suggestions on how a top...

    Converting ladder from old style to new on 2002 330

    This looks like it will be the best option for me if it fits on the boat. It holds 400 lbs & gets good reviews. Mounting from underneath the platform it wouldn't interfere with the transom door. I also like that when I forget to stow the ladder, on takeoff, it will swivel up instead of...

    Converting ladder from old style to new on 2002 330

    Looking at the design, I don't think it would provide the stability I'm looking for. Too often we have to deploy the ladder 50 miles offshore, in 2-3' chop, so someone (hopefully not me) can clear fishing line from the props.

    Converting ladder from old style to new on 2002 330

    I would like to convert from the old style rigid boarding ladder to the new style folding one. Primarily to be able to launch ladder while in the water. Has anyone done this & how difficult is it to get a secure mounting. I realize it would make dock boarding a little more difficult but I...
