Looking for a service shop in Vilas county that can rebuild the hydraulic cylinder on my 2019 Merc 115hp 4 stroke outboard. It just needs the seals replaced on the top where the ram enters where it has a slow leak using the seal kit Merc makes for it. I contacted a well known dealer/service shop in the Minocqua area and they said they do not rebuild but rather replace the entire unit which seems unnecessarily expensive to me. But, perhaps I am wrong. Thank you.

Most rebuilds just leak again and it's not worth the trouble for a local shop. I deal with this all summer, just send it down to Five Star Marine in Port Richey FL. They do rebuilds and get it done quick, still going to cost real money but not as much as a new unit.
