For those with hydraulic steering, just an FYI, you don't have to pay the outrageous price SeaStar charges for their fluid. Any fluid that meets mil-spec  5606 is compatible. Ive been using snow plow fluid both Meyer and off brand for years . My current helm is bout 20 years old, never rebuilt, leak free and works perfect. The last qt I bought was about $6 not the $25 +  SeaStar  gets
