I have an 89 160 Bowrider OB with hydraulic steering. I’ve developed a leak at the helm and back at the cylinder as well. I can’t find a model number, but can tell it’s a Teleflex unit. Does anyone have an idea on what seals kits can be used to fix the leaks and repair it? Thanks in advance...

Thank you - I actually have a water pump on order that I'm going to put in as soon as it gets here, also a new fuel filter and plugs. The carbs looked a little damp and it looked like the fuel pump or oil pump could benefit from a new gasket. I may go ahead and order both new pumps. The lines...

I had heard they were prone to fail, however, this is my first Merc I’ve owned. Are there any other things I should look for or update, etc.?

Hello, newbie here. Just acquired a 1989 bowrider 160 with the 100 hp outboard. Is there a how to or sticky thread on how to bypass the oil injection system and run premix only? Thanks in advance for your help!
