Sea Star Steering Problem
 
Having problem turning to the right. Bled both lines to death so no air. Turns great going to the left. If I go real slow it's not bad, but as soon as I speed up it wants to lock up. Not sure if there is a faulty valve in the head or what. Hope someone has had or knows whats happening.

Probably debris in the check valves in the helm.

Seastar uses a black paint in their manufacturing process that is notorious for flaking off and clogging the valves.

Thanks Brian. Thats exactly what was blocking the valve.
