It's nice to take something apart and actually finding the problem right away. Boat would drift to the Starboard side and would need to be corrected every so often.

Nice!

You know what those parts would have cost you if your sourced through a marine outfit.....

hydraulics are actually fairly simple.. I was in awe when somebody posted steering cylinders are over 1500. You can coilover shocks custom made with adjustable compression, rebound and multi stage valving for less.

I understand what your saying but the custom stainless barrels, clevises, shafts and mounts is probably where the expense comes from. To make new stainless rods the my hydraulic shop quoted $400. The threaded part is a little bent on my rams.

Rookie- How did you get the ends off without marring them?

Pipe wrench with a sheet of urethane rubber over the teeth. I also had urethane over the jaws of the vise holding the thick end,
