Hey gang,

First season with this boat:

1. What make/type of steering system was installed?
2. What type of fluid goes in the system? SeaStar?
3. Is there some type of pump or pressurized system?
4. Where are the components located?

Steering is VERY sluggish to respond to the helm. Turning to starboard the wheel feel "lumpy", like running over a bumpy road.

Any direction, suggestions or guidance appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy
