Carver Owners Forum

I suspect you have two issues.

There should not be an overflow. The system is a completely closed system. There must be some sort of leak. It won't get better. You need to find that leak.

In a hynautic system, the wheel should turn and turn, no stop; it will feedback a higher resistance to turning once the rudder is deadheaded and the relief valve opens. I suspect you have a bad or stuck relief valve on the starboard side. The relief valve is in the block mounted on the bottom of the reservoir.

Good to know, I will check it out and see when I'm out on Monday

It worked out . Thanks!

Awesome this is exactly what I had happen today, good to know a simple steering servicing should fix it.
