    Change in steerimg

    I changed my prop on my 200 Opti from a Tempest Plus to a Fury 3 blade and noticed a change in the steering. When on plane when I turn to the right it's smooth as glass. When I turn to the left it feels like it skips and catches and so forth. I'm thinking I need to bleed the steering biut was looking for opinions before I did that. I did notice a small pool of some kind of fluid on garage floor but I'm not sure it's from that as I dont see any leaks.

    ^^^^^^^ This
    and also the Fury will need to run a littler deeper than the tempest assuming it was at an ideal height, as much as 1/2 in lower
    Thank You Leon Pugh

    I'd bleed first, but your prop might be too high and sucking air. Your helm is just a pump, it might be weak.
