    Most are just below the steering wheel, look for a cap.

    I'm guessing the boat he mentioned is set up like my boat.

    The steering is a SeaStar(teleflex) flexible helm. The Pump is located behind the steering wheel. This is behind the dash. There is no specific reservoir, it is just the pump itself. There is a cap on top of it, most of the time there is a remote fill tube, if you have a remote fill tube the cap is about 3/4 inch black plastic cap on top of the dash above the steering wheel.
