Two weeks ago I noticed some fluid leaking out of the ram cylinder on my motor's tilt. I wasn't having any issues but today when I took the boat out again, it had a hard time raising and again I noticed fluid leaking from the ram cyl and it was making a funny noise. At a minimum, I know my fluid level is low but I think I might also need to either replace the seals in the ram or replace the ram. Does anyone have any experience on what oil I need to use for the ram and where to buy it? Second, can I replace the seals on the ram or is it easier just to replace the ram? Has anyone ever done this repair, if so how hard is it to remove the ram cylinder?
