I have a PIY/PSS shaft seal and I have never had a problem. Though on another boat I saw the bellows become weak, add in the soft engine mounts and forward drive, and we had leaks. Mine came with the boat so it is at least 4 years old. I keep an eye on it as well as replacement options. At the

I am sure you could take the hose to your local hydraulic hose shop or hardware store and figure out what the fittings are. There are only so many kinds of flare fittings. Don't get too hung up on the hose - I assume you need new hoses. What you need to know is what kind of fittings your new hos
