2014 307 Freedom Steering Issue.

[PaulieS307Freedom]

So, I was out last weekend on the water and attempting to steer left it takes anywhere from 6-10 turns of the wheel before I get response from the outboards but turning right is a solid 3 turns of the wheel and the boat turns. Don't see any hydraulic leaks in the stern, going to try taking the helm apart to look behind the wheel.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

First step is to check the fluid level at the helm. If low, top off but regardless you will have to bleed the system (correctly!)
Although one person can manage to bleed the system, two persons is recommended. Check the Dometic web site for bleeding instructions.

Yep!

Low hydraulic oil manifests
1st with jerk or jumping movements when turning the wheel
2nd after oil level get more low then it start to turn without resistance

As you already have low resistance you need to bleed the system after filling hydraulic oil and as seasick wrote,
not a big problem at all in two but complicated to do alone.
There is a kind of special filler hose to avoid mess and that air bubbles get again in the system if adding oil when bleeding is insufficient.

I forgot to mention that a bad/dirty/sticking check valve can cause loss of hydraulic effort. That said, bleed first and go from there.
To emphasize Chris's advice, use the special fitting and hose to fill the reservoir. If you don't pay attention and suck air into the head unit, you have to start the bleeding all over from scratch
