just remove the hoses one at a time and replace, not sure if the bleeding is the same as an add-on but i bleed by starting boat with drive centered, check fluid, have another person standing over resevoir always adding as needed, while running slowly start moving wheel in 1/8 turn incriments R to L, always making sure its full, do this until lock to lock, after turning lock to lock turn R to lock and hold it there for 5 sec or so back to center, turn L to lock and hold it there 5 sec or so, this will bleed most of the air out, take your time and always turn the wheel slow

One hose at a time. Then after all done and tight you can clamp a large straight piece of radiator hose on the power steering pump (after you remove the cap) and fill the pump up and into the radiator hose a few inches. Disable ignition (pull lanyard) and crank engine while turning the wheel lock to lock a few times. Check the fluid, repeat then flip the switch and fire it up. Keep fluid at the ready and top off if neccesary.
