Maintenance: Hydraulic Steering Woes

We loved keeping the boat at the Port of Anacortes this year, but unfortunately the slip next to ours was often occupied by transients. We think that one of those transients hit our outboard when docking, which damaged the Jenny G's hydraulic steering.

Having found a seal that was out of place, I ordered a replacement part and had it installed by a trusted mechanic. However, on our return voyage "down South" for the winter, I realized that this wasn't the sole problem and we still have a leak.

So, the Jenny G is at another repair yard on the Lake Washington Ship Canal awaiting diagnosis. Stay tuned for more info.
