Default Re: Hydraulic Steering Repair?

I spent less than $3.00 repairing the cylinder that was leaking... bought several different sizes of O-Rings. The 1st one tried was to thick and cut it pushing the cap back on the cylinder rod. The next one was a thin o-ring was able to slowly work it back on the push rod without any issues. Re-filled and bled the system and no leaks. Was out on the water for several hours today with no issues.

I am going to stay close to shore for several trips to make sure it holds, may just go ahead and order the regular rebuild kit so I will have peace of mind.
