Rduval, You didn't happen to note the model number stamped into the side of your helms did you? I'm still baffled why your helms supposedly have check valves yet you have a uniflow. When you took the fittings off the upper helm could you actually see the check balls in there?
They are model 250V's and unfortunately, because of the location I couldn't get a eyeball into the checkball passage to actually see what was actually in there (which I really would have liked to do). I would have had to remove the wheel and take the whole unit from the flybridge to do it so I opted to just try to get it working with the flushing and refilling which did the trick.
BTW, I know from the pic it appears I could look straight in but I took the pic with my smartphone flat against the bulkhead. My head "ain't that small" lol
