This kit will rebuild the Mercury / Flex Steering Cylinder this ram is better than the Seastar and utilizes a larger ram as well as a metal plunger internally also the casting is much heavier and the wear surfaces are larger for less play and more stability
We are offering this kit as a Upgrade over the OEM as we use Viton seals for this application and when rebuilt properly this will ensure a working life of about 30 years.
We only use the best quality materials when producing aftermarket parts and we strive to be the best in the industry for Marine Hydraulics.
This kit will rebuild Cylinders with P/N: 898349A14 898349A11 898349A04 898349A15 UC128-SVS 2P UC128-OBF/2
We used all Viton seals for this kit as Viton is a super material and costs 15 times more than other NBR or Urethane materials and last 2-3 times as long, Viton was Formulated by Dupont it is a Synthetic Rubber which resists Oxidation, UV Rays, Solvents, Acids and ozone on paper the working life of this material is about 30 years and I would suspect it will last even longer than that.
We have gone great lengths to bring better quality parts to the marine industry as we have seen these systems leak within 5 years of being new.

I was expecting to get a cylinder whole repair kit.
Only the end caps seals where included.
As a result I experienced delays in my repair and a lot of last minute inconvenience.
Thanks
