I noticed fluid under the SeaStar steering ram the other day and I felt the chromed ram and there was a pretty decent gouge in it.
I have no idea how it got there.
I haven't done any work in that part of the boat so I'm thinking it must have been there when I bought the boat over a year ago.
I'm thinking the last time I parked the boat the gouge must have been right at/on the seal and it leaked a bit.
Can you sand out the gouge with 2000 grit? Or am I better off just replacing the complete assembly?
I can purchase one for about $630.
You can see the yellow stain below the ram.
