Went ahead and bought two new rams and installed them today. Problem fixed. Now I know that the reverse lock is in the rams!
I am going to purchase a ram rebuilt kit from five star marine and attempt to rebuild the old rams to have as back ups if the other drive fails as well. So I'll have an...
The whole assembly, pump, cover, motor. Came with new lines but I didn't replace them since the originals looked fine. It was OEM. So now I have a spare assembly 😁.
Checking out stock at my marina for rams. Turnaround for rebuilt rams will be almost 2 weeks with shipping and I need to get...
I actually only replaced the pump and not the lines. I didn't see how the lines could be a failure point in this scenario as they weren't leaking at all and seemed in good shape. My drive is a bit newer so it already had the new style pump cover that has been prone to failure.

Hello,
I have a DPS-b drive (s/n A204006) that lifts slowly when I rev in reverse above about 900 rpm. I pulled the boat from the water and checked the fluid level and added about 2 oz. Replaced the o ring in the cap (cap hissed when I originally removed it which makes me think it was sealed)...
