The top of the hydraulic needs resealed from the looks of it and it looks as though the hydraulic arm is bent a little....I'm assuming from the preivous owner.

Can this be replaced easily when being resealed?

I should add the motor goes up and down fine for the most part except when trimming all the way down it becomes a little sluggish and after trimming all the way down the power trim acts as though it is building up preasure before it begins to raise the motor back up. Also sometimes fluid comes out of the top of the cylinder.

No. the 35-65HP piston eye is offset. Other models are centered. the offset piston shaft is very difficult to find. take it to a machine shop. maybe they can weld and thread a stainless rod. I think it's just straight up 1/2" round.
