I have 95 Aquasport with a Yamaha 200. The hydrulic sterring fluid tube broke. Are there repair kits available as a temp fix so I can get a couple of more trips in before I winterize boat and fix it the proper way in the Spring? I'm assuming the proper way is to replace the entire length of tubing.

did it split? if so cut the bad part out inch or two and put a female to female fixture that will put them back together. like a garden hose, but im not sure what you call them.

There isn't enough tubing left to re-attach to fitting. The angle becomes too severe and the tubing breaks.

Sounds like time for a new cable to me.
