    Although the bubble purge pro may work very well, I can tell you from experience that the simple jumper between both bleed valves works very well. It does the same thing as far as I can see as the bubble pro, except you are using your existing steering line to return the fluid to the helm. As...

    Did I Screw Up? And How Do I Fix It?

    We have auto pilot and had no problem using the marine tech version that I posted earlier from amazon. I'm sure the guy knows what he is talking about concerning his product. You would want to make sure that the tubing was securely fastened to the fittings because the pump will send a lot of...

Although I have not had any problems with any fluid seeping out of the vented cap, I think I will keep the level a little lower as even the Tech...

    Did I Screw Up? And How Do I Fix It?

    In an older steering ram as the internal parts wear it will put more strain on the seals, causing them to wear out sooner. Our boat had an older steering ram that is now obsolete. there are still seals available, but they are close to 2/3 the cost of a complete new ram. None of the internal...

    Did I Screw Up? And How Do I Fix It?

    Watch this video on filling and bleeding your hydraulic steering. I installed a brand new Baystar system in our boat and used this system and it was awesome.
