Can someone point me to a manual or part of the manual that shows me how to change out the power steering actuator/ram buried in the back of my smallish engine box.

It's a 2000 Larson lxi 2006? .. but that does not matter really ... 5.0 GL .. the last of the charcoal painted engines .. want to say a 1999-2000 version. Don, seems to me I went through this once before couple + years ago when I bought the boat.

I've done all my looking around here and there I'll try to see if I can rebuild it .. I doubt it .. otherwise got to spend big bucks for a new one grrrr.

With that, can't afford to pay shop prices to get it out and back in. But don't want to do this repair blind if I don't have too. Somewhere on here I read someone removed the header riser to get better access.

Help I'm 68 half blind and half crippled ... lol Might have to find a youngun to help me

Bondo, It's pushing fluid out the end of the lower arm fast. I can just run it for an hour at idle at the dock and it needs fluid again. Initially though it was coming from the cooler, but got my cell phone camera back there and took enough video and pics to figure out where it is actually leaking.

It's got to come out and I can't afford to pay for the part and labor so I've got to do this myself maybe with help from a younger guy with better eyes than I have to see .. can't do this with reading glasses on if you know what I mean .. lol

Years ago Don had a link for something else to the shop manual in question on this engine outdrive setup ... so i need help/guidance with a manual if possible.
