You just crack it open until fluid drips out not too open for it to pour out. When you turn the steering you will hear the bubbles escaping even from the front.

Turbo rr, I did just that and one fitting bubbled a little air out. Also got a little more air out of the helm after circulating the wheel several more times. I don't know if it is perfect but it is pretty firm. I'm planning on water testing Thursday since the forecast here is looking good.

I found this one the most helpful. Same should apply with your Imco. Same theory.

Scarab63, the micro bubbles explained in that vid make sense that take time to form and work their way to the helm. I checked it yesterday and the motors were solid after letting it sit overnight.

Check it with the engine running either on a hose or at the dock. I bet it'll be rock solid.

I was going to test it today and get its end of the season fresh water rinse done but the weather in the NW isn't cooperating.
