    Towing 8’6” inflatable

    we will try it. However, when under tension and without a fishplate I would think the motor cover sides would be the next touch point. Test it tomorrow as we will have calm seas here in Buzzards Bay and a good day to give it a go

    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.

    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.
