2. Verify immediate steering response when turning steering wheel(s).
Turn the steering wheel slowly to port and to starboard and make
sure the engines follow the commands. Watch that the hoses and
cables move freely without any snags or hang-ups.

electrical cables for wear, kinks, or leaks.
Check all steering hoses and fittings between the pump, service
valves and cylinders for any signs of leakage, kinking, wear or
chafing. Check all electrical and mechanical cabling for abrasion,
wear, rubbing or chafing. Check that all connections are tight and
free of corrosion.
