    2004 GW Express Cruiser Sink, Water Tank and Transducer questions

    My Garmin believes it is a 12 pin transducer. It does not show a brand, hence why I am asking in this thread. Thanks for the reply

    Transom Failure Incidents

    I have a 2004 33 Express. Not only did the transom show signs of wet areas so did the starboard side starting at the vent aft. This also is normal for the Express 2004 though 2009 I am told. The starboard side was completely redone up to midships, prior to me purchasing the boat. The glass shop...

    2004 33 Express Cruiser Twin 2015 300 HP Yamaha VERY HARD STEERING

    I found that I needed to add hydraulic fluid. Once I did this it was better not great but better. I have a question for the forum. This boat does not track well at all. We have been putting some hours on her over the last few weeks and when underway I look like I am in submarine avoidance. My...

    2004 33 Express Cruiser Twin 2015 300 HP Yamaha VERY HARD STEERING

    Did you do the install yourself? This is not a cheap upgrade form what I hear. 3K for the pump plus need to add time and materials. Also let me ask this. Was the pump installed near the holding tank? GW told me they get installed in the mid berth panel where the holding tank is.

    2004 33 Express Cruiser Twin 2015 300 HP Yamaha VERY HARD STEERING

    It is a dual cylinder system with no assist pump. It was low on fluid it took about 1/2 quart. Steering is better by about 20%. I will have to live with it I guess.

    2004 33 Express Cruiser Twin 2015 300 HP Yamaha VERY HARD STEERING

    This is the plan thank you. I do not believe there is a pump. I am also inclined to think something was not done when the motors were removed and replaced for the transom work I had done. Maybe they just f'd up. The previous owner finally got back to me and told me they had no issues with the...

    2004 33 Express Cruiser Twin 2015 300 HP Yamaha VERY HARD STEERING

    I do not believe there is a pump. I think when teh engines were removed to address the transom repair something was not done properly. Although the lack of fluid would mean that the steering would be very loose in my mind this is what I need to check.

    Hi I am having on heck of a steering issue with this boat. I am told that some GW's shipped with a Teleflex Electric Hydraulic assist pump. I have reached out to GW to understand in 2004 if this pump was standard or optional on the 2004. My as built I received from GW does not list the pump as...
