Been noticing somethings not right with the steering.
When at the slip, engine tilted, but striaght. Come back in a few days and notice the engine is to one side.

Running it yesterday if I looked back at the engine it was slowly turning to one side, the the wheel is not turning. It seems like the fluid is bypassing somewhere and allowing the torque to turn the engine. I don't know if air in there would do that. I'll bleed it and see if it improves, it not and there is a problem would it be in the helm or the cylinder?

Any thoughts ???
