I recently purchased another hobbie boat (to my wife's dismay) which is a 1973 T-Craft 23ft Flybridge with a Merc 888 in it. After going through all the fluids, filters, system checks and getting the oil, amp, and temp gauges working, I spent 9 hours on Lake St. Clair last Thursday on what turned out to be a pretty dry and fairly good running vessel. (Heavy bugger though) However, it has dual stations and the top steering wheel just spins. I don't have much (any) experience with hydraulic steering but I've begun the tinkering process. Any info on this system or how to fill and bleed it would be greatly appreciated.
