I have a 2014 C-28 and since the boat was new it has had steering/auto pilot issues. Pocket Yachts and Garmin have been great with auto pilot parts, valves and many, many "bleedings" but this year, a different problem.
I have been slowly losing steering fluid long after all the other work was done and fittings checked and checked again. Now i have found that I am losing steering fluid from the UFLEX steering pump. I discovered steering fluid in the head along the bulkhead even with the dashboard. The rear of the pump (easily visible behind the head mirror) where the three connectors are is dry, no fluid at the pump back or around any of the three fittings. Must be coming from the plastic pump body itself where it meets the front of the helm "dashboard".
Has anyone had a similar problem or replaced the UFLEX pump? Thanks.
