Low fluid or air in the system ?
I just spent some time working on my friends 34' Marine Trader. He blew a line off on a trip and we repaired, but as we returned home turns went from 4 turns to 10. Needless to say we were all over the place. Diagnosis later proved we had not bled it well and air eventually made it's way down the line. A very careful bleeding in both directions, and fluid monitoring at the top helm, then the lower got it all back into spec. 4 turns lock to lock, and all is well...
