hello, i have a honda bf200 center console boat with a seastar hydraulic steering. sometimes when i am turning the wheel i hear a clicking sound and also the steering feels a lil loose to me . like spins to freely at higher speeds and hear clicking sounds at the steering wheel when turning

does anybody know what it could be if it need fluid or something or need to rebleed?



thanks
 
sea star helms have pressure relief valves in them....they usually engage when you reach the end of the physical travel in the cylinder....

I imagine they would activate if there is significant resistance (friction) in the steering system if you aren't at the end of travel.

Low fluid or air won't activate those relief valves.
