Need a steering ram.

[oldgit]

Anybody recommend a company to source a steering ram for my Princess 33.
The present item is weeping merrily away and having had it fixed once already have decided its time to bite the bullet.

I have replaced rams with those from vetus.
They seem to have a reasonable renge.

also available from hydraflex.

you should aim to match the bore and stroke of the original to maintain the same steering characteristics or if you want to change the gearing ratio you could go for a different capacity ram.

no of turns lock-to-lock = ram capacity divided by steering pump capacity
