Re: Hydraulic Steering
Scott, fill up the reservoir and turn the wheel lock to lock a few times, loosen the nut on the helm, let the air out, and refill. Repeat this process many many wonderful times and you should be good to go.
 But knowing a punk like you, you probably put the lines on backwards.

Re: Hydraulic Steering
Scott
See if you can get your Dad to help. It's better with two people as one turns the wheel as the other loosens and tightens the bleeder valve. Use a small cup to catch the fluid under the bleeder valve and then re-use. BTW: Keep mucho rags handy like Funster keeps in his cabin

Re: Hydraulic Steering
His old system probably doesn't have a bleeder valve.
Surly Gomer Chuck would have this in his Sears catalog.

Re: Hydraulic Steering
Scott, I ran out to the barn and snapped these two photos
of my 1 man SeaStar purge system. PVC, barbed fittings, 5/16 hose all from local plumbing supply for under $20. Nylon fitting into helm filler plug, long hose from side of PVC tube to either side of hydraulic ram on motor. Just hang tube above helm fill up tube, open bleeder turn wheel till no bubbles come out of ram. Reverse process for other direction of steering. It takes about 3 times turning wheel real slow to get all the air out. If you want more detailed photos, let me know. See ya Ken   BTW: I just replaced the ram seals before Anclote and a quart of SeaStar fluid was almost $15

Re: Hydraulic Steering
Ken,
Is there anything you don't have in that barn of yours?
