Sea star steering fluid replacement
 
So i decided to bleed my system had issues last year

purged the system Sea star state's 2 quarts for a single helm

I was lucky to get get a quart and a half in the system to include bleeding ..

Should my wheel stop turning once it gets full port or starboard

because my doesn't

and the helm wheel stop once the motor is in its lock position port or starboard

We'll see if it holds :cheers:

A quart and a half is aboutb right.. theybstate 2 because they only sell quarts..
It's a pretty good system, beats cables any day

Nice! I was curious how a closed loop worked and found this video. https://youtu.be/0_EqQmSrHeQ

Not sure if that's the same manufacturer, I noticed that when I did mine manually with a second person and in the video as the system purges the larger bubbles the smaller bubbles take more time to evacuate.

Great find Wayne
