WTB SeaStar/BayStar Hydraulic Cylinder

[StPeteBonefisher]

Hey guys, I have a tiny tiny hydraulic fluid leak in my splash well and will need to eventually replace the cylinder. 

Anyone have one sitting around? Figured I'd check in before purchasing brand new.

 

I've got an etec 90 on a hewes bonefisher

I had one reconditioned, came back good as new with a warranty. Much better than buying new.

Thanks guys. Good leads. I’ll check em out.

If it is leaking from the seals, you can get a rebuild kit for about $100. I just did mine and it wasn't a very difficult job. The most time consuming part is taking it off and then bleeding the system.

If you hunt around you can buy just the seals and not the whole gland which will save you money.  I think Hercules makes the replacement seals.

But make sure the ram is “baby bottom” smooth, otherwise you tear the new seals up.
