87 Evinrude steering

[wreckdiver]

I have a 77 Mako with an 87 200 evinrude. The steering systems seems to be hydraulic. It is very hard to turn so I am assuming it is shot. It has oil in the system. Also the grease fittings for the cylider arm are plugged up. I am looking to either repair it or replace it. Is there anywhere to find parts for it or are there any recommendations on what to replace it with.

wreckdiver,<br /><br />Look around for a name on the system. More than likely it is: Sea Star or Morse. If so, parts are available.

The only name I found on the system is Dynalitic. I looked all over for them and cant find anything. Should I just replace the whole system?

wreckdiver,<br /><br />Never heard of that one. Sea Star and Morse both make complete kits.
