Just purchased a 1987 32 Mariner. Any one familiar with changing a hydraulic steering hose? Mine must have a leak, all fluid runs out immediately after filling reservoir, drain to bilge are next to AC pump.
Thanks for any help provided.

Re: Replacing Hydraulic hose
It would be easier to find the leak and splice.
And of course figure out why the hose failed.
Do you have the hynautic system with the 5/16 plastic hose? Ebay will be your friend. I don't believe fittings nor hose is available, by could be wrong. I attempted to get some hose from a local hydraulic house and they could not get it. So I went with ebay.
