    Anyone familiar with Hynautics Hydraulic Steering?

    It appears to be a "sealed" (can't rebuild) cylinder although replacement cost is a bit steep for a throw away cylinder. Have you tried twisting the end caps off the ends of the tube? https://www.ezyglide.com/replacement-parts

    Electronics don't die of old age, they die from abuse. Something as simple as turning the battery switch off with the motor running or hooking the battery cable up backwards can blow an alternator

    Depends on how your switch is setup. Typically battery 1 is connected to the motor for start and charging purposes. Battery 2 is typically wired to the power the "house" loads. If you took the battery lead (big red wire) from battery 1 and put it on battery 2 and nothing worked, battery 2...

    A good, fully charged battery will test at 12.7 volts at test. If the battery tests lower than 12.7 volts, either the battery is not fully charged or is damaged internally. Running a battery til dead (jump start) or not fully charging the battery between uses increases the rate of sulfation...
