just purged and bled the sea star

[grouperjim]

after 300 hrs and never any maintenance on the sea star, the steering began to get a little loose. at times while turning the wheel slow, the engine would not turn at all.

followed the instructions in the sea star manual. very easy to purge and bleed. looks like a little air had started to get past the bleed nipples. the nipples where not very tight, as i think they had started to vibrate loose. might want to check yours periodically.
