Adding fluid power sterring

[Sea Wolff]

I am noticing my rudder indicator is showing the rudder several degrees to port which is new to me. I looked at the owners manual for the power steering system, Sea Star, and it shows filling it at the steering column.

Is it simply a matter of unscrewing the cap and adding more fluid or is it like a car brake system and you need to use a kit to prevent air from entering the system?

Thanks

You can add fluid at the helm but it might have air in the system. Go to the seastar website. ://www.teleflexmarine.com/ instructions on bleeding the system under support very good info.
