Hydraulic steering how do you add fluid

[jamesbirmingham]

I have a 2000 Stratos 19SS that has hydraulic steering. I need to add some fluid because I can tell it has a lot of slack in it. I just don't know how. There are two small quick connect couplings on the motor end of the system, is this where you add it and then how do you bleed off the air??

Check the teleflex web site. There are usually fill connectors and a special connector you have to buy.

Is there a plastic plug on top of the helm right behind the steering wheel? That would be where it goes in a lot of models. Since you didn't mention what brand steering you have......
