i have a lake and bay 17' with a 135 optimax on it currently, it has sea star steering currently but it has a bad seal. My question is... is this steering Sea Star model number HC5345 worth fixing if i am going to repower to a 250/300 pro xs 4 stroke mercury in the future? (or am i better off redoing to better system and selling current setup)
(BTW this boat is new to me and is a 1999 so i dont know exactly how old this setup is)
see the pictures attached for more info and insight.
thank you!
