      If the fresh water pump runs, but will not pump water, the water tank may be empty. Fill the tank. Alternatively, the in-line strainer for the pump may be clogged. Clean the strainer.

    What to do if hydraulic steering is slow to respond on Monterey Boats M45?
    • T
      Thomas CooleyAug 23, 2025
      If the hydraulic steering is slow to respond, erratic, and/or the steering wheel feels bumpy, it could be due to several reasons. The steering system might be low on fluid or have air in it; in this case, fill and bleed the system. Alternatively, a component in the steering system or the engine steering spindle might be binding. Check, adjust, or repair any binding components, and grease the spindle.

      Melissa HenryAug 25, 2025
      If your boat wanders and will not hold a course at cruise speeds, there could be air in the steering system. In this case, fill and bleed the system. Another possible cause is a binding engine steering spindle, which requires greasing.

      Jeanne PattersonAug 26, 2025
      If your boat is sluggish and has lost speed and RPM, it may be due to marine growth on the hull and running gear. Cleaning the hull and running gear might solve this issue. Alternatively, the propeller may be damaged and need repair.
