Quick rundown on bleeding uflex protech system
Just installed my protech system(that didn't come with a manual). Bled it to the best of my knowledge and it seemed to be working. Got home from work today and turned the wheel and fluid started splooging out of the filler cap on the helm. I'm guessing there's still air in the system and the day time heat caused it to expand. I'm blednot for two hours thought I had all the air out. I would crank wheel and bottom out the ram and open the bleeder and keep turning and flush almost a quart through and then do the same thing the other direction over and over again. Is that the correct way to bleed a new system? Any insight would be awesome. Can't find **** on the internet about bleeding uflex systems only SEAstar. Thanks in adavance! Blake

To Be more precise I would crank the ram to starboard side, open the port bleeder, and continue turning the wheel to the port side. Is this correct?

Here is a seastar manual. All pretty much the same. Around page 40 something is the bleeding instructions. I suggest finding someone with a power bleeder. JMO
