2000 fountain steering cylinder leaking
 
I just bought a 2000 35 fountain. It wasn't leaking over the last few days while in the process of buying it. It may have developed the leak while towing it home 700 miles. Any way. Has anyone rebuilt them and where did you get the parts? There is nothing stamped any where on the steering system other than the fountain sticker.

Doing my dual imco today. Easy.

Parts from imco 22.00 per cylinder.

Yes pretty easy. Dont know the particulars on the Fountain set-up, but it is more than likely the rod seal. Seal number is most likely stamped on it, so if you can get that out, it is easy enough to get a matching seal

To easy. Wouldn't you know some of same size O-rings are use on our helicopters.

Were those units relabeled Lathems, or Fountain originals?
