I will call Rockwall Marine tomorrow but hoping to get a ballpark price range.

There is a slow leak on the cylinder by the engine.

Please let me know the approximate cost to have it rebuilt/resealed?

I don’t mind trying it myself but if it isn’t too much I’d like to have it done by a professional.

It is very easy to do yourself and seal kits are readily available on the internet. It's a one-person job until you need to bleed the system. There are Youtube videos you can watch.

Roughly $325 Or do it yourself for around $100(kit) which includes seals,wrench,and quart of fluid.

its not really that hard. its usually the seals that go out. buy the rebuild kit and have a buddy help you bleed the line. make sure to turn left and right a bunch of times to bleed it while you pump in the fluid.

I just did mine and it wasn't hard at all and plenty of instructions on the web and will come with the kit also. $75 for the kit on ebay with tool and around $25 for a quart of fluid. I RECOMMEND 2 QTS OF FLUID just to replace all the old fluid. You won't see clear come out with just 1 qt.
