Hyd Steering
Running clients Kenner with seastar hyd steering and it has enough slop in it to spin twice before response from motor. It's a pain in tight quarters and dangerous at speed, any sugestions on what to do to fix it?

Low on fluid. Seals on the end of the ram are probably leaking.

There is a lil cap on the top of helm....need to change the ram caps and bleed it to get the air out. Seal kit is about 120 bucks. You will also need 2-3 bottles of synthetic hydraulic steering oil. I would change the helm seal as well,comes with the kit. |
