External add on line reversal symptoms?

External add on Saginaw giving me grief.
What would happen on trailer at idle if the lines were crossed at the valve?

Twin mayfair rams.
After running at idle for half an hour attempting to turn wheel back and forth i can only get full lock in 1 direction.
In the other direction it will only go straight.It also feels ratchety and jumpy.
I am able to turn drives easily when not running in both directions.
Reservoir is initially airated but then settles.
Any idea's?
I swapped lines at the valve.Seemed no different.

Sounds like air in the lines. I don’t know add on systems as I have full but on my full reversed lines actually made it very short lock to lock. 3/4 of a turn. I’m sure there’s other variations that would do different things. Also with full hydraulic I can’t budge my drives by pushing them. Not sure if this helps but hope so

Thanks for the reply.
Just sorted it.Some F#@%%$$g idiot had a transom hose on wrong.
I went to the race boat which i rigged full hydraulic and looking at the rams, realized i had put the outer transom lines on the same tee.
Swapped it around and all good.
