I can't think of any legit reason not to just replace the seals on a 2 yo system. Seems like the dealer doesn't know who he's dealing with!
I had a Teleflex system on my '69 Whaler Nauset, don't have any idea what model it was, but I had to replace the stern seals twice. I never had a problem with the helm seals, probably since they were protected by the console unlike the stern one that was always exposed to the elements.
