The incredible amount of information on the Internet plus the 
suggestions from fellow members saved the day..I spent a day learning 
all I could about the Hynautic hydraulic systems and tried first the 
lengthy and tedious process of bleeding and purging the system with 
apparent success..Working fine now ...Gulfstar installed every single 
component of the system in inaccessible places, especially the 
cylinder at the rudders..

For those of you with a similar problem, and there were several, try 
the long process of 40 slow turns to starboard at both stations, then 
bleeding at the cylinder, then 40 slow turns to port, etc...Worked for 
Misbehave..
