Default Re: Hydraulic Steering

Ken-

That is a great contraption, Hyd Bleeder by day and Hookah at night, very cool!

I wish I had one last week as I just added a second cylinder to the Whaler's system with the help of Scott from Viking Marine. I am unsure what he did but as we are bleeding the system, me at the helm turning the wheel and he at the bleeder valves at the engine(s)he played a trick on me, I am sure of it, not sure how he did it but he must of closed the valve while I was turning the wheel and then released the valve suddenly after the pressure built up.....at that point the helm burped and shot a geyser of fluid right in my face and all over the hard top....what a mess.
