    Re: Complete steering loss in St Augustine inlet

    Be careful when using those two bleeder valves. They are a soft material, probably bronze, and are easy to sheer off when tightening down. Be very aware of this and only tighten with light pressure. I snapped one of mine off and I hardly had any torque on it.
