This Front Mount Hydraulic Steering Cylinder Seal Kit is great for use in marine applications!
Function: Used to repair leaking or weeping cylinder seals.
NOTICE: Inspect the steering rod itself just making sure there is no severe pitting in the rod or anything that would indicate premature failure of new set of seals. Severely pitted rods will rid up a new set of seals and cause premature failure of the expensive seal job
It is critical for you to check the cylinder rod to see whether it has scratches, nicks or damages in anyway. Any damages found, the complete cylinder must be replaced. Failure to replace a damaged steering cylinder will result in seal failure and possible loss of steering.
Do not remove shaft from steering cylinder. Bleeding the system to remove any air. Check for smooth workings and full travel of the cylinder. Check for no leaking.
Note:
The smallest imperfection on the shiny steering rod will cause a new seal to fail real quick. Remove the internal steering rod and then take some 1500 then 2000 grit wet sand paper and go over the full length of the steering rod (take your time!!). Clean rod up, lube it with hydro fluid and carefully reassemble the steering system.
