Seacraft 23Wa with Hynautic powersteering question

yeah my cylinder is a K-10. There is a tab under the site where you can look at the other models of cylinders and resovoirs.
Most of the marinas and marine parts dealers around here couldn't help me either. They all told me that I might have to switch over to seastar. And the parts that they did carry and could order didnt help me at all.

gary,
I have the same Hynautic system on my boat. If the dial has rusted off on your gauge you can just take the pressure reading off the valve with a regular tire guage. I imagine that you could replace you're broken gauge with one from an auto parts store, but I haven't had a reason to try that yet. 25 - 30 lbs is the recommended pressure (at least thats what the sticker says on the side of my canister).

Here's some more information about bleeding the system:

I ordered a gage, it was spendy, $26+change, then when I looked at the billing on my credit card, they had charged about $8 shipping and handling. Haven't got it yet but should get here this week, since they have already billed it out. The Seastar site has parts listing for just about any of thier or Hynautic systems. I think they are one and the same company now. Spendy, but at least I will get the right gage.
I don't think I have to worry about purging the system. The guy at the local hydralic shop, said to bleed off the air, open the fill spot and just check the oil level,( he will give a small amount if needed) reinstall the new gage and put air back into the system

Just to correct my previous post a little, recieved the gage today, FedEX ground shipment,(1 week) but was shocked at $9.15 for shipping a 4 oz gage by ground. They didn't mention the price, just asked if ground was ok. They did tell me $25.18 for the gage, which is ok I guess. Easy installation, the old one came right off and new on, fluid level was ok and I put 28# pressure in the resevoir and the steering works great.
