1 - Why does SeaStar dealers supply an extra quart of fluid with every
steering system?

2 - If it's a closed system, why does it lose 1/2 ounce or so a year?

3 - In a closed system, once the engine is in position, it should stay
there but it don't.

It has air in the system.

No air - purged and can't cram another millinanomicro drip into the
reservoir.

Hmmmm?

It has air in the system. "Purged" only means that the air that *can*
bleed out due to the limited exercising of the helm (several lock to lock
manipulations) after filling has been released. There's still air in the
system.

Ok. Rather than to continue shooting my mouth off, I researched the SeaStar
hydraulic steering system. I was wrong.
The system *can* slip. My apologies to ShortWave, Harry and any others I
disagreed with.

There's no need to apologize for having a differing opinion. When one
gets really snarky about it, though...that's not necessary.

No apology necessary - your view is perfectly valid.

When I first bought the Ranger, I had this exact same discussion
holding the exact same viewpoint as you did with my nephew who is the
Service Manager for my dealer. I embarrassed myself throughly. :)

No worries.

Well that's all fine and dandy. But this kind of conduct disrupts the
newsgroup. Aw Hell, you're Navy. I forgive you.
