    Steering at low speeds - Volvo Penta

    since these pumps generally can withstand a nuclear blast and continue to run without issue, the most I would do is get a rebuild kit from napa, pull your pump apart and go thru it. most likely there is debris in the PRV. as far as hydraulic pumps go, these are fred flintstone simple.

    soft layer glued to sides on inside of fiberglass boat?

    that looks like glue that set prior to carpet going in. if you have cracks, epoxy resin by itself wont do anything. you need to add cloth at a minimum, however hopefully find the source of the cracks and repair it.

    Best Outboard Motor Brands for Reliability and Long-Term Use

    long term reliability..... old two strokes, hands down. if you maintain them, they last 75+ years as for most un-reliable. EFI 4-strokes with CAN. doesnt matter which brand, they all fail.
