Greetings all!
The problem:
Turning Starboard on our helm, the steering is very slow to engage and the helm spins and spins without coming to a hard stop. Port direction works fine. As you might imagine this is very unnerving! Fortunately we have twins and can steer effectively at slow speed.
Here's what we have:
A RAM that requires ATF rather than hydraulic fluid per the manual.
Here's what we've done:
Bled the lines twice from the top helm. Tested the RAM independently and the vendor confirmed the RAM was working properly.
Could the RAM still be defective?
What's the next best step?
We don't want to take her off the lake and into Puget Sound until this issue is resolved.
Thanks for your help!
