Bass it should be on the helm just behind the steering wheel. Look for a little cap that looks like a 1/5 the size gas cap. You'll need 1 fill tube that screws on top of the hydraulic oil container for filling (much like the ones for filling the lower unit with oil) and another that you slide over the 2 nipples (one at a time) located on the steering arm. If you know what steering system you have use google to look up the method for filling/bleeding.
Fill it first then when full, bleed. Bleeding the involves loosening the nipple (w/hose leading to a container to catch excess) on the arm near the motor and turning the steering wheel while applying pressure to the motor. All the while still having the fill hooked up on the helm to get it completely full. This forces air out of the nipple and once you see no more air bubble tighten and do the other one. The system can be filled and bled from dead empty with 2 quarts of hyd. oil.....that's what comes with a new system. During my install I concluded that the manufacturer really want you to take it to somebody to have it worked on because the instructions were vague or missing all together!

Problem solved for now, all I had to do was add power steering fluid and bleed. The power steering fluid is lighter weight and has less detergents then hydraulic oil. Now, if this frigging rain would take a vacation, I'll go for a sea trial...
