We are on our maiden voyage from Portsmouth, VA - south. Prior to leaving the yard replaced a section of bad hose on the hydraulic steering system section in the lazarette. It appears they did not bleed the system fully and we are having some issue with steering the boat.

Can anyone help? I'm going to remove the cap up on the flybridge and turn all the steering wheels left and right to see if any air bubbles out. Not sure how to get the air out of the autopilot (if it's in there as well.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. We are anchoring for the night in about 30 minutes and will attempt to see what we can figure out.

Thanks in advance to all who help out.
