The hydraulic power steering ram ensures identical
positioning of the port and starboard rudders. Check
that rudder arms are tight and free of play. Ensure
that fluid reservoir is up to level and filter is clean.
The fluid reservoir and filter are located on the aft
component board in the engine room along with the
optional auto pilot pump. Sea Ray
® recommends
Sea Star hydraulic steering fluid or Dextron 3 auto
transmission fluid for the power steering system.

Access to the bilge is obtained by lifting the
electrically actuated hatch. The hatch is energized
by depressing the HATCH LIFT switch located on
the switch panel at the control station.
NOTE: The hatch incorporates the entire cockpit
area including the aft seating. Before activating the
hatch make sure that all movable objects (i.e.
coolers, equipment, etc.) are removed from the
area.
