At this time the steering system must be checked for proper hose
and fitting connections, possible leaks, and air removal. Please
complete the following steps with the Autopilot pump OFF.
• Turn steering wheel to hard over, then force the wheel another
one quarter to one half turn past the stop point. Check the
following areas for evidence of a leak.
- Inspect helm fittings
- Inspect Power Assist/Autopilot interface (if installed) and
Autopilot pump fittings
- Inspect cylinder and cylinder bleed fittings
- Inspect hoses
• Repeat above steps to the other steering direction.
• Any sign of a leak MUST be repaired prior to operating the boat.
• While turning steering wheel observe fluid level in the helm pump.
If fluid level drops and rises significantly as the wheel is being
turned there is still air in the system. Complete bleeding
instructions again until no obvious fluid level change is noticed.
Consult with autopilot controller manual for the remainder of the
autopilot check list.
Helms mounted with the wheel shaft completely horizontal must be
filled to the bottom of the filler hole at all times. Do NOT allow the
fluid level to drop more than one-quarter inch below the filler hole.
