John, the "slip" was the first thing I noticed in our system. It started happening infrequently when the system was only 3 or 4 years old, and was worse in cold weather. It got worse and worse until on the final trip to the ramp, the boat would only turn in one direction - which made navigation "a little" interesting. It turns out, per the mechanic, that contamination in the fluid had damaged the valves internal to the pump and it was not repairable. I hope your problem is just air, but it sounds like the same situation.
