Well like I said I have had GREAT response and service from Teleflex.

A couple of e-mails back and forth and they just told me they will be sending
me a NEW CYLINDER !!!!!!!! No Charge !!!!!!!

Now that makes me a bit happier!!!!!

I still have to figure out how to keep this thing from crapping out again though.

I'm thinking of a couple of rubber boots on each end to keep water away from the seals. I had one of these on my original mechanical steering it worked well to keep the grease in and water out. If I can only find them again and adapt to fit the seastar hydraulic...it might proling the life of the unit.
