Re: hydrolic steering

There should be a cap on the helm unless you have a 3 line Hynautic system. Then the fill is on the resivour.

i have the cap, but how do you know when it is full and do you just use power steering fluid? thanks

Re: hydrolic steering

OK, you have a cap. Is it on the helm or a seperate resivour?

Re: hydrolic steering

I would only use hydraulic seering fluid made for the system. Why take a chance? You also don't know what might happen if you mix different types of fluid.

Re: hydrolic steering

do not mix the fluids, you need the correct oil for your steering it is a unique oil. what brand is your steering?
