I sure do, if you saw my boat you'd know how meticulous I am about stuff.
I bend all the way over the transom and rinse the tilt/trim hydraulics too.
SO........What I'm thinking of doing is cutting my losses, selling the "new" cylinder, 1 yr old helm and the hoses on ebay, then buying that nfb mechanical system. I should have some fuel money leftover too.
Waddaya think?
I hope its not a mistake though...I don't know how reliable the nfb's are and if they really work good. Got some more research to do.
