2006 240 Sundeck 5.7 Power Steering Question

[Humper]

Hi,
Bought a 2006 240 Sundeck. No manuals whatsoever.
Also this is first stern drive boat. Question...where is the power steering fluid reservoir?
I found the gear lube (at front). But can't find the steering fluid reservoir.
Thanks

It's right there on the front of the engine, too.

Manuals can be downloaded from Sea Ray's site, FYI. However, if you're going to seriously due your own wrenching, you should invest in a service manual.

Good boat - kinda like the SUV of the boating world.

The PS resovoir is powered by the drive belt probably on the port side of motor

Since it is being discussed.... is your boat REALLY hard to steer when cold? Even if it is 60 degrees out, it takes 2 hands to turn

Power steering is power steering is power steering. Meaning, it doesn't really matter what boat it's on. There's plenty of threads you can search for with info about this, but the most common cause is an old cable. Disconnect it at the rack at the inner transom - that will help you figure out the culprit.
