Default Steering Reservoir

I have tried bleeding my steering several times, yet after every run the reservoir continues to "burp" fluid in my bilge.

I have full hydraulic and a large Revolution reservoir mounted as high as possible in the bilge with a vented cap.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have bled the system 3 times.l

Kirk,

Try rubbing the belly in a slow circular motion after each feeding. Wisper soothing sounds at the same time.

If it doesn't come out one end, it usually comes out the other!

Kirk,

One more thing,

Try a diaper over the shoulder!

I had the same problem. You probably still have air in the system. My system is a single ram and I had to turn the wheel all the way to one side and crack open the line the pushed the cylinder. Then turn the wheel the other way and bleed the other line. It may take a couple of times to get all the air out. This fixed my problem of burping fluid into the bilge.

Is there a better way than running the engine, having one person at the helm and turning one way and then the other while breaking the fittings loose?

It does not seem to be working for me!!!
