Well, Locefer, you shouldn't say that - those gunners are good.
And the gunners' weight is different because they don't have full crew (919 left, 929 right).

The only drawback is that they are yellow sailors, and thus cannot be traded. It might be that the poster is not interested in trading those sailors?
I'd say keep them and use them on a proper ship.
It is higher level guns that give you longer range (of course, the guns' L version + light HE ammo).
So you probably need to level up your BO (captain) and the rest of the crew to get out of the Moltke. Once you get into the BB H39 (level 89 for BO), you'd enjoy the long range.
