Just brought my boat in for a leak in the steering cycinder by the engine. Steering is stuttery and has a lot of slack when changing directions. Marina says I can't just replace a seal and need to buy a whole new cylinder for about $400. Does this sound right? Is there a cheaper source for the cylinder? Is this a job to try and do myself?

Motor is a 95 Johnson Ocean runner 175 HP.

Thanks for any advice!
