Just bought the boat, took it out on the lake and did well for an
hour, after an hour, cut it off...started back up and had no
steering....Buddy had to manually turn the engine to get us back to
shore...when turning the engine he noticed that the hydraulic cyliner
was leaking...Do you think it may be a seal...or what? Where should I
start...Doesn’t steer at all.
its a 70hp 1984 tohatsu outboard..cranks right up, just can’t
steer.. I would appreciate any help you can give.

A seal, and get a manual on the steering and replace the seal or what ever
causes the leak.
