Good point. Another thing I learned about the problem of the vent cap on the helm pump weeping fluid on a hot day is that, that is a symptom of air in the system. The tiny air bubbles in the lines will migrate and accumulate at the high points in the line. Then, when the fluid warms up, the...

Skunk, I had that same problem of the motor not moving when centered and steering slowly. It turned out to be corrosion/pitting in the steering cylinder barrel. When the piston O-ring was sitting on the pitted area, the fluid would bypass the piston when the flow was low. I took it down to Boat...
