Help me diagnose a power steering issue

Recommissioning my 370 after a major rebuild with new transom assemblies ... the power steering feels stiff and jerky.  It goes through the full range of motion, but the steering effort is too high, and it feels jerky and uneven.

It's not a pump issue.  Today I swapped the port steering pump over the starboard side, and it didn't help.  The hydraulic fluid is new.  I don't see air bubbles in the steering fluid reservoir, and I've already worked the wheel back and forth about 1000 times.  I fixed a slight kink in the hydraulic line to the cooler ... no joy.  

What would make the steering feel jerky and uneven?
