The cylinder walls look OK. I could probably could get a couple years out of it at least. The problem with the rod is that they are not raised areas that I can take down. They are more like engravings, you can catch your fingernail on the rough areas. To top it off, they are perfectly lined up for when running straight ahead. No doubt it would leak in those areas if I polished it up enough to remove the damage.

I should probably bite the bullet and get a whole new system. If I scrap the boat, I'd sell the system or get my money's worth back when I sell it. Time after time when I try to piece meal a system back to health I pay more than if I just bought a new system.
