Beneteau 42 CC St John
Hello,

I have a 2003 Beneteau 42CC. My question is regarding the Hydraulic Steering.

At the helm a clunk has developed when moving the wheel back and forth
just an inch or two, and when reversing the direction of the wheel.

The boat was built in France and I am unable to determine what brand of
steering components they installed. I also am not sure where the clunk
is coming from.

The wheel is tight in the shaft.
Could it be the stop valve?

Your help and advise would be appreciated.
Regards.
