Leaking power steering fluid.....help
I posted this up in general discussion and been looking on mercruiser parts website to figure out what parts these are. I have a bad leak (you can see in the pics how bad its gotten with teh brown in the bilge). Its coming from the steering cable box and the part that the power steering lines run into. I know its going to be a decent amount to fix, but any help to identify these would help.. I'm trying to get an idea on cost..

I believe you are missing a grease "boot" there? Are you losing fluid or grease?
I have a complete unit in good condition that you can have for half what you are quoted.....:coolcowboy: |
I'm leaking fluid... Pump was completely empty today when I checked it today so over the winter the seal must have completely went to hell. I know I was losing fluid last year, but was minor. I couldn't tell where it was coming from until I turned the wheel today and it started pouring out. What are you looking for for the unit you have? How old is it?

You already have add-on external steering, instead of chasing this why not just go ahead and upgrade to full hydro to the helm?

I'd go full hydraulic also. It depends on where you buy the sysytem. It makes a huge difference in the feel of the boat. Fgure on 1200.00 to 1400.00 for the rest of the kit. I also have the part that is leaking on your boat (we just moved so it may take a bit to find it)

I agree with John, full hydro is the way to fix this. Especially since you are topping out over 80mph.
