Hello,
I have a 2003 Tournament 225 and have been plagued with a recurring steering problem. Last year upon losing engine helm control I was advised that there was a leak at the engine and proceeded to have a 400.00 repair completed. This year while leaving the harbor again I lost the control and had to be towed in. Upon inspection at the helm the reservoir was low/empty and no visable signs of leaks at the outboard. The mechanic topped it up and advised that I was all set...he tested the boat later in the week and said I was good to go ..of course after receiving a new bill for 96.00. :bang .
Do you have any suggestions on where I might direct their attention and solve the problem conclusively as well as a back up repair kit to have on board ?
Thanks and have a great day.
Peter
