Hydraulic Steering Question
I removed a hybrid cable-hydraulic steering system from my boat, basically I removed the cable steering and added a hydraulic helm...so now it is all hydraulic.
I spent almost an hour trying to bleed the air, I know there is still more air in the system, because I can move the outdrive by hand
The problem is I have about 25 turns from hardover to hardover.
Could this just be air still in the system, or could it be a mismatch between the helm and cylinder?
