Carver 3607 Steering

[eastont]

The marina just launched my boat and they sent me an e-mail to say I have no steering.

They said it might be that I need the air pumped up.

What does that mean and where/what do I look for the air tank?

Re: Carver 3607 Steering

Who is the mfg of your power steering unit? With so little info I doubt if you have an "air tank". You may have air in the system and a lack of fluid. However-- inboard? twin I/Os? all could bring a different means to repair.

It was air in the hydraulic steering system, it just needed bleeding and then air pumped in to keep the system pressurized

What system? Is there a leak?

There was a leak, but I had a seal kit put in and now it will not bleed.
