I have a Bravo drive and the trim cylinders seals are leaking. Has anyone rebuilt the cylinder or is it just a replaceable part?

Yes, all Mercruiser trim cylinders are very rebuildable. You can buy anything from a basic o-ring kit, to a kit that replaces the piston and check-valves and other major wear parts. My advice is to tear them down first and take a good look. If they are corroded to the point that you need to take an oxy-acetylene torch to get them apart, you may need replace the housings, too. If that's the case, it may be more economical to find a replacements.
