I have heard that it is possible to rebuild a marine power steering pump using parts from a new automotive one. Is this true? if so does anyone have a link to a good tutorial. I have a 99 merc 5.7

All you need is your res can or it its rusted away, relocate the return hose fitting on the new pump.
