Default Can we say steering - again?

OK, I have a 79 23 which had twin 235 Evinrudes when I bought it. I have a single 225 Merc going on and I'm reworking the transom a bit on it.

Anyway, the steering is the Morse Controls hydraulic steering and had twin side mount cylinders with a tie bar between the two. Due to dwindling boat funds I am hoping to keep this system and adapt it to the single Merc but I'm having a beyotch of a time finding info about this steering system. The helm is part# D303600 -001F and the cylinders are 3500J models. All morse, does not look like the described Hynautics a lot of you have (had), and I think I would have seen the resevoir from that system. Anyone have this system? A place to send for reseal, repairs, or parts? There is some fluid leak in the system and will likely need to be resealed.. I just don't have the coin budgeted to drop $800 on a new Seastar setup, maybe next year...

Thanks...
