    Hydro Steering Question

    I have an 2014 XRS (bought brand new in '14) with hydro steering... It appears to have some slack/play at the wheel, left to right the wheel will move approx 3 to 3 inches before the motor starts turning.. Just noticed it - is this normal after 4 years or do I need to get it looked at?

    You should not have much slack at all, it needs to be bled, or possibly may need the kit they make for them, or yours may have the newer fittings on the sides

    Open the fill cap on the helm, check fluid level.

    Turn all the way way to full lock, push a little harder and you should feel it “skip” once or twice.

    Do this lock to lock back and forth a few times to force air out of the system. While checking the fluid level in the helm.

    This should clear it up, now look the system over carefully for leaks.
