I was doing the final look-over before I put her in the other day and realized (by accident) that the steering wheel was completely loose. It spins endlessly in either direction with no resistance. I didn't know if it was perhaps a fluid leak problem or something else. I've heard that one piece is pressurized by air and needs to be hooked up to an air compressor of some sort every so often. If anybody has any experience or knowledge of this kind of issue, I'd appreciate any info. It is a SeaStar hydraulic steering system with a single outboard.

Thanks
