when the wheel is turned to the right, the motor takes a few seconds to start turning. As the steering warms up ( is used more ) the delay goes away. Any ideas as to what to look for / at ? I was going to have the marina check it out, but I wouldn't mind fixing it on my own and saving the dough, thanks for any ideas, Bob C.

Cold & sluggish // I had Hyd // got rid of it / got tired on looking for sewerside [sp] knobs // that steering radis sucks when ya playing in the rocks // plus ya only have to spring a leak once ///// :beat:

Are you sure you have all the air out of the system and its completely bled?
One station or two?
