We have Seastar on the new Eastern with a 115 Yamaha; absolutely smooth lock to lock. As noted, you could have air in the lines.

At speed with the wheel stationary the system acts to hold the steering fixed so that prop torque will not turn the steering if you take your hands off the wheel. Like a hydraulic clutch. The wheel has to be turned a slight distance either way to release the clutch effect however the transition should be smooth. (Yes hysteresis is a proper term).
