    Yamaha F150 Speedo Tube Disconnected?

    Hydraulic steering hose leak

    I don't know if my experience is the same as yours and hopefully others will chime in. When I had my boat re powered the tech had to used some kind of a vacuum to fill the steering system with fluid and remove the air. Not something I'd be able to DIY.
