Simple yet effective bleed system for Seastar hydraulic steering systems. Standard Seastar helm to bottle fitting - do not pierce bottle (PN:HA5430H) Custom bridge tube connects bleed ports on steering cylinder.Basic Instructions:1 Attach bottle to helm reservoir (do not pierce bottle)(do not let bottle run empty)2 Connect bridge tube to bleed fittings on steering cylinder and loosen/open fittings. 3 Use helm to pump fluid through system by turning the wheel in one direction. Air bubbles will be pushed to the reservoir at the helm. 4 Manually swing the outboard through full articulation to relieve trapped air and confirm good bleed. 5 Note: Orientating bleed fittings up while pumping fluid with helm will allow air to escape cylinder. 6 Repeat 3-4 as necessary until no air is visible in bridge tube. 7 Tighten bleed fittings before removing bridge tube.
