Went to back boat off trailer at ramp today and wheel turned to left freely but had a lot of resistance turning to the right. The motor did not turn no matter how much I turned the wheel. System fluid is full and clear. Anyone have any advice on how to trouble shoot this? Just ran the boat 5 days ago with no problems.

Sounds like air got in the system, or potentially a stuck valve in helm. Does it turn hard evenly to the right or does it kind of go “pop pop pop” when turned to the right?

When turning to right it is hard and it does " pop pop." Heavy resistance then small slip the heavy resistance.
