Lost My Power Steering

[Budds'Outlet]

I recently had the Y-pipe replaced along with a rebuild of the transom shield assembly at great cost$. No leaks now and the engine runs great. Went for a cruise yesterday in 69 degree weather. It was a great day but now my power steering doesn't work.

The pump is turning and full of fluid. I've got a call into the mechanic but I'm looking for ideas or suggestions. Is it possible the hoses or steering gear were not connected properly?

Do you see any air bubbles in the power steering fluid ??

Thanks for asking. No, I did not see any bubbles and I did have the cap off the pump while it was running to observe for low fluid or air bubbles. The fluid was at the appropriate level and the belt was turning the pump just fine. The steering response is as if the engine is not running at all.

Maybe needs to be burped ???
