Sea Star Steering Problem

[sailcat]

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.

Glad it worked out for you.
